Why should I rent a site in a railway station? Easy. Shops for lease at these stations come with the advantage of recorded footfall data, a vital factor in retail decision-making. Additionally, they provide several other useful data points that can aid in selecting the perfect location, offering insights not typically found in other retail settings. Some of these stations include East Croydon, Brighton and London Blackfriars train stations plus much more. These experience a respective average of 24 million, 17 million and 12 million visitors per year. Imagine having a site in all three – that’s a potential 53 million visitors per year! As commuters and tourists rely heavily on shops, particularly at Brighton or Blackfriars stations, now is the time to pursue railway station shops for rent.
