London is a city of incredible opportunities, and that certainly applies for people looking to run their own coffee shops or cafes. The demand is consistently high due to the year-round footfall. Whether they’re aiming to spend heavily or just getting through their days, people in London will often seek refreshments. Why not cater to their needs? It’s extremely difficult to start a business in London due to the incredible competition for space, but you don’t need to start one. If you find a suitable cafe for sale, you can buy it and start running a business in the UK’s capital (potentially within weeks). And as a leading broker in the industry, we hunt down and list all the best businesses that come on the market, including the most amazing opportunities that arise in central London.
Why buy a cafe or coffee shop?
Cafes and coffee shops for sale in London offer stable, high-footfall opportunities. Whether you’re running an artisan tearoom or a takeaway espresso bar, the UK’s love for coffee keeps demand strong. Buying an existing cafe allows you to tap into an established customer base and brand presence.
Why choose London for a cafe purchase?
London is one of the most attractive places in the UK to buy a cafe. Cafes for sale in London benefit from dense foot traffic, a vibrant social scene, and steady demand. Whether you're seeking a cafe for sale in central London or a neighbourhood coffee shop, the city offers something for every investor.
Why buy through a business broker?
When looking for a coffee shop to buy, you might wonder why you should go through a broker. Consider that we don’t charge people to view our listings or express interest in them. Couldn’t you find a listing and handle it yourself? Technically, yes — but you shouldn’t. The reason you should go through a broker is that the buying process is long and complicated. It can easily go wrong if it isn’t managed correctly, and our experts know exactly what to do.
At Christie & Co, we’ve dealt with many coffee shop and cafe sales before, leading to highly successful outcomes for buyers and sellers alike. In addition to helping you find the right cafe and make a winning bid, we can guide you in getting the best possible start with your new business, and even support you with various other services concerning things like insurance.
