Artisan barber and gentleman salon, R.W. Wolf, is bringing its male grooming treatments and a world class team of barbers to a third site, based in Knightsbridge, as it continues to expand across the capital.

R.W. Wolf, which has over 150 years of hair cutting heritage, was secured as a tenant for its latest 1,200 sq ft salon at 144A Brompton Road, by Colliers International’s Central London Retail team on behalf of the landlord, APML Estates. The company’s other stores are located in Monument and North London .

Paul Souber, Head of Central London Retail Agency team at Colliers International, who handled the acquisition commented: “Knightsbridge is an international retail and residential destination which welcomes tourists, office workers and residents. R.W. Wolf will complement the existing tenant mix of quality stores on Brompton Road and will provide a premium service and amenity to the area.”

Shelley Sandzer, leisure property consultancy, acted for R.W. Wolf.
