A rare opportunity to acquire one of London"s most historic and well-established retail businesses.
Chas Tapp is a highly recognised diy, builders" merchant, and general hardware store that has proudly served Islington and the surrounding areas for over 200 years. The business benefits from a strong local reputation, long-standing customer relationships built across generations, and immediate brand recognition, allowing a new owner to continue trading without the need to build a customer base from scratch.

The business is supported by two highly experienced, long-serving employees who oversee daily operations, supplier relationships, stock ordering, and customer service. A well-established operational structure is already in place, ensuring a smooth and seamless transition for a new owner.
The property is held on a secure 10-year lease and includes the ground floor retail space, forecourt, and rear yard. The location benefits from excellent public transport links and convenient on-street parking directly outside.
Key highlights include over 200 years of trading heritage, a trusted and well-known local brand, stock included subject to confirmation at the point of sale, a fully operational and actively trading business, and significant scope for re-stocking and optimisation.
This represents an ideal acquisition for buyers seeking a proven retail platform with immediate trading capability and strong future potential through optimisation and expansion.
