It really doesnt have a place in the Central London high street any more, having supplied lines to Arctic explorers was nice business while it lasted but the options for retail choice are slightly larger now than they were in those glorious olden days.

Good. I used love wandering around there in my lunchtime. Buy the odd shackle or two so I wasn't arrested as a squatter. ☺️

It's not ideally sited for marine, however, due to the overlap with rope and rigging, Beales thrived within the theatre industry, and, at the heart of the west end has been a very handy go to chandlers and ironmongers when shows are being installed and you need that "something" at short notice.

Indeed.....a bit like losing Maplins which was always handy when having a "whoops" moment and a show needed to be ready....I bet some riggers & flymen will be muttering even more than normal now!
