Tranquil Maida Vale is visually defined by its marching rows of Victorian townhouses, as well as its location on the Regent’s Canal—and Shirland Road, stretching from Kilburn to Warwick Avenue, traverses the neighbourhood at its heart. Its reputation may be relatively residential and family-centric, but Maida Vale’s proximity to Abbey Road Studios and Lord’s Cricket Ground promises some bustle, too. This luminous streetfront shop to let, formerly occupied by a pottery cafe, would be a fitting location for a gallery space, a communal coffee shop, or an interactive brand experience. Its spacious back stockroom is an additional advantage.
The stretch of Shirland Road that this shop occupies is primarily residential. Just next door is an office and another shopfront; across the road there’s a well-equipped off-licence, as well as the Institute of Psychoanalysis. A salon, dry cleaner’s, and Portuguese restaurant are found just after the junction with Elgin Avenue.
While Shirland Road is relatively residential, this shop space is near its junction with the busier Elgin Avenue; use signage to direct amblers off the main drag. A business also has the chance to stand out and earn local loyalty in this space.
