Shelley Sandzer brings historic site to market for first time in 30 years

Leading specialist UK leisure property agency, Shelley Sandzer, acting on behalf of a private landlord, is marketing 4-6 Old Compton Street, formerly occupied by Soho institution, Melanie Italian restaurant.

The site, a Grade II listed building dating back to the 18th century, comprises 1,817 sq ft of A3 restaurant space over ground and basement, with three upper floors containing seven apartments.

Located on Old Compton Street close to its junction with Charing Cross Road, the site is in the heart of the Soho, along one of Central London’s most vibrant thoroughfares. A swathe of popular leisure operators are close by, including restaurants such as Patty & Bun and Bone Daddies Shackfuyu, night time establishments, Swift Bar and The Compton Cross, and The Palace Theatre at Cambridge Circus.

Nick Weir, Co-Managing Director at Shelley Sandzer, said: “This site has real history – bringing it to market for the first time in three decades is an exciting prospect at a crucial time for our industry. We are looking for an operator that can really complement the existing restaurants, cafés, and theatres, attracting its own crowd while also able to pick up on the natural footfall this area generates given its position in the heart of Soho.”
