Yoo Capital unveils plans for the refurbishment of Shepherd’s Bush Market in London

Yoo Capital, the majority owner of Shepherd’s Bush Market in London since September 2020, has unveiled proposals for major investment in the market and to develop land on the adjacent Old Laundry Yard site.

The plans follow two years of conversations with Shepherd’s Bush Market traders to understand their businesses and concerns, as well as the needs of the market as a whole and its customers. Yoo Capital has now secured the long-term positions of the market traders by offering financial support during construction, business support and training, as well as new 10-year leases.

The planned investment gives the area a major shot in the arm as businesses continue to work to recover lost ground from the pandemic amid a cost-of-living crisis. The proposals seek to reimagine the market as though it had continual investment for the past 20 years and include new entrances, a new canopy and road surfaces, as well as new stalls, and grants for investment into shops and units
