Arthur Beale
Overview
Arthur Beale is a surprising London shop: an old-fashioned yacht chandler located on Shaftesbury Avenue. You can buy nautical goods and shipping supplies at this unique shop that has changed little since it opened in the 1800s.
On the ground floor, you'll find everything from reels of rope, ship's bells, barometers and brass navigation lights to basic boating hardware such as cleats, fairleads and lacing hooks. On the first floor, you'll find books, boots and lifejackets.
