Located at 8 Tysoe Street, a short distance from Exmouth Market, the property has been owned and operated by Mike Peck and Rowena Smith for approximately 20 years. The sale marks the end of their two-decade tenure as they retire.
Dating from around 1856, The Old China Hand occupies a three-storey building that retains much of its period character.
Holt’s portfolio also includes The Pocket in Islington and Howling Hops Brewery in Hackney Wick.
The sale follows the recent opening of Public House Group’s The Horses in Clerkenwell, as well as news that Daniel Craig is set to take over The Horseshoe pub in the area alongside Charlie Carroll, Nick Jones and Justin O’Shea.
