We are Druce

In the 1840s, Thomas acquired the furniture department at the nearby Baker Street Bazaar and when he died in 1864, his son Herbert Druce took over the business.

During the 19th century, the company expanded into a department store and an estate agency and today, real estate is the sole remaining part of the company, with Druce’s headquarters and six branch offices situated in the heart of the British capital.

2022 marks our bicentenary year and we are going from strength to strength, with the local knowledge, professional expertise and deep community connection that’s become a hallmark of our business.

Our sales and lettings teams have exceptional, in-depth knowledge of prime residential property and new developments in the capital. They have worked through various economic climates and have a profound understanding of the property market.

With such a high level of expertise, you can rest assured we know the dynamics of the real estate business inside out.

Druce is a voluntary member of the Association of Residential Letting Agents (ARLA) and the National Association of Estate Agents (NAEA). Our membership of ARLA & NAEA assures our customers that Druce maintains the highest standards of conduct and best practice. For more information, visit www.tpos.co.uk
