Tea Factory restaurant space up for sale (or rent)
The freehold for the largest commercial unit in the Tea Factory is up for sale (or as someone pointed out, rent, although the rent quoted on the site cannot be right). Formerly the home of Tea Dance for Little People, the space has A3 planning permission (cafe or restaurant) although the space is fairly small.
There is a lack of available restaurant space in the area and it will be interesting too see how quickly this gets snapped up, but with the improvements taking place in Brockley Cross and the amount of commercial activity around the station, we'd expect this to shift reasonably fast, assuming the landlord's realistic.
Among our predictions for this year is that one of the area's army of foodie entrepreneurs would take the plunge and open another place to eat locally (in addition to the Gantry). This might be the opportunity.
