JD Wetherspoons has put up 32 pubs for sale including The Moon on the Hill located in Station Road, Harrow.
The pub is being sold as part of a ‘commercial decision’ according to the group that operates around 800 pubs in the UK and Ireland.
In addition to the Wetherspoons in Harrow, another local – the Columbia Press in Watford Town Centre, is also being sold.
CBRE and Savills have been appointed to facilitate the sales. Senior director at CBRE Toby Hall said: “We believe the pubs represent an excellent opportunity for existing pub operators and new entrants.”
Eddie Gershon, Wetherspoons spokesperson said: “On occasion Wetherspoon does put some of its pubs up for sale.
“This is a commercial decision. We understand that customers and staff will be disappointed with it. The pubs will continue to operate as Wetherspoon outlets until they are sold.”
It will be interesting to see what could replace The Moon on the Hill in Harrow Town Centre. It is likely that a new pub, cocktail bar or even a nightclub could potentially take control of the venue and transform nightlife in the town centre.
