Watford High Street Barnardo's and former Santander marketed

The 69-71 The Parade unit was home to High Street Essentials before Barnardo’s took over in 2018, and is described as “a prime retail opportunity in the heart of Watford”.

The lease will be available from August 14 at a £65,000 yearly rent, via real estate agency Pearl & Coutts, and it appears the charity shop is set to shut.
