The Arthur Beale store in Shaftesbury Avenue.
A sailing goods store that’s been equipping adventurers for half a millennium is closing its doors for good next month.
Arthur Beale, which was called John Buckinghams when it opened in the 1600s, survived through some hard times. But the BBC reports high rent on London’s West End and the COVID pandemic wiped it out.
“A lot of people think it’s bizarre that there’s a yacht chandler in London but 500 years ago the Thames was pretty important from a nautical perspective,” co-owner Hugh Taylor said. “All the Everest explorers would come to the shop in London for their supplies.”
