Thompson Yates

Four Decades at the Heart of the City

We have been a constant presence in the City of London for almost 40 years. As an independent, multi-disciplinary practice, we don’t just provide services; we provide real estate solutions. Whether you are a private individual, a growing small business, or a global multinational, we understand the nuances of the London market because we have lived and breathed it since the early 1980s.

Our focus is predominantly on the City, Central, and Greater London, though our consultancy and agency services extend throughout the UK. We pride ourselves on a traditional approach to professional ethics, combined with a highly personal and discreet service that responds swiftly to the needs of our clients.

Why Our Multi-Disciplinary Approach Works for You

We believe that the best advice comes from collaboration. Our office is structured so that individuals from different disciplines work side-by-side, exchanging skills and information in real-time. This adds collective value to every project we touch, ensuring that our agency advice is backed by deep professional consultancy expertise.

Proven Results Across Iconic London Assets

Our track record speaks for itself. We have been instrumental in managing and marketing some of London’s most recognisable commercial spaces:

• The Old Truman Brewery, E1: We have been heavily involved in this 11-acre estate, managing nearly 900,000 sq ft of diverse office, retail, and leisure space for over 150 tenants.
• Tavistock House, WC1: We handle instructions in this landmark Grade II Listed building, the headquarters of the British Medical Association.
• London Fruit & Wool Exchange, E1: We successfully let over 50 suites in this major redevelopment, navigating complex landlord development break options.
• 1 Brick Lane, E1: We identified this derelict former garment works for a client, acquired the freehold, and secured a pre-let to a major ISP while the building was still being refurbished.
