TIMBERMILL WAY, CLAPHAM, LONDON SW1

Liberty Wines, one of the premier distributors of wines to the restaurant industry, approached us in 2009 to handle complex negotiations with their Landlords, the Covent Garden Market Authority, in connection with lease renewals and also had a keen eye on relocating somewhere around the Wandsworth area for their own distribution warehouse and office building.

A site, Timbermill Way was identified, being equidistant some 200 metres from either Clapham North tube or Clapham High Street railway station, west of the Safe Store Unit.

After extensive negotiations with the owners, we eventually concluded the acquisition of the site for approximately £1.5 million which, when developed, will comprise over 25,000 square feet of office and warehouse space and will provide Liberty Wines with the room to continue to grow and the facilities to support this growth.
