The area is characterised by its vibrant streetscape, historic market, and proximity to a wide range of amenities and transport connections, making it one of North London’s most attractive mixed-use environments.

The property benefits from an excellent central position, located a short distance from Upper Street, which comprises a diverse mix of independent retailers, national operators, restaurants, cafés, and public houses and a mix of high value residential.

The location also benefits from a strong local catchment, with a dense residential population and a significant daytime workforce. The nearby Angel Central Shopping Centre enhances the area’s retail offering, while Regent’s Canal and Barnard Park provide valuable green and recreational spaces.

Chapel Market retains a distinctive character as one of London’s few remaining traditional street markets, trading six days a week and contributing significantly to the area’s appeal and footfall.
