Premises go up for sale across the city for a wealth of reasons, including Capital institutions with decades of history and ventures which sadly did not work out.
Pubs, restaurants and takeaways can be found in all parts of the city, often forming part of the fabric of their communities.
Here are nine of them which are on the market right now.

The Eyre Place building has functioned as an eatery for more than three decades, most recently as a much-loved family-run diner. A £18,000 deposit is required to take over the lease. | Cornerstone Business Agents
