This ground floor unit offers a fantastic opportunity for a bar or restaurant operator in the heart of Islington. With a prominent street frontage and excellent visibility, the premises are well-positioned to attract both local footfall and destination trade. The space is fully air-conditioned and includes customer W/Cs, along with two rear rooms suitable for use as a keg store and back-of-house office or prep area.
