Our website offers a user-friendly property tool to browse available units and railway shops for lease, many of which are located inside train stations.

Try Rail Estate Search today and see how your location can become a go-to spot for travellers.
Rail Estate Search has a portfolio of 100+ indoor retail property listings spread across more than 230 UK stations, with plans for further expansion. Our website offers essential information to help you inquire about railway shops and lease opportunities.
Property prices have you down, leaving you unsure of where to go? Whether a coffee shop, taxi rank or florist, a bustling train station is the perfect place for you to attract new customers. The constant influx of visitors (both old and new) ensures consistent interest in your site and the products you retail or the services you offer.
It’s not just you! Many of our prospective customers struggle to pick between indoor and outdoor spaces when choosing a site to rent.
We always recommend starting with retail premises close to your base of operations for ease, then to look further afield if those retail premises are not available or you feel are not suitable to your business requirements.
Consider your business type when looking for rental properties. Coffee shops may benefit from indoor and outdoor retail spaces, while food vendors can take advantage of a railway station’s covered outdoor seating. Enclosed spaces work well for offices, travel lockers, and taxi ranks, offering quiet and convenient locations.
Why should I choose Rail Estate Search?
At Rail Estate Search, we believe in mutually beneficial relationships. By bringing together your brand and a train station kiosk to rent, we can improve the spaces around us and the travel experience. Whether introducing a great new coffee shop to Brighton train station shops or adding a newsagent to the shops at London Blackfriars station shops, we are eager to include the next best thing.
We are passionate about finding the correct spaces for you to improve the commuter experience at train stations. Rail Estate Search has observed the impact of Covid-19 and the shift to online shopping on retailers. This movement has led to the growing rise in vacant commercial units on high streets and train stations. Where some see empty retail units, we see retail opportunities and we know you do too.
Our very close partner Govia Thameslink Railway adjusted their rental algorithm alongside the slight loss in footfall to allow new and existing customers ‘flexible rent’. Via our offering, we hope to transform these former shells of bustling spaces back into vibrant hubs of sights and sounds. We envision places to eat, drink and purchase anything needed before or after a journey, benefitting train companies by increased retail revenue, passenger experience and the local economy.
A property that I am interested in says ‘Subject to Contract’. What does this mean?
If a property is subject to contract (STC), the site landlord has accepted an offer, and there are currently ongoing negotiations between the landlord and tenant parties. If your dream property has gone up and states STC, there’s no need to lose faith.
Contact Rail Estate Search at your earlier convenience. We can walk you through the next potential steps. Alternatively, we can advise you of any similar properties, or retail spaces that will fit you and your business, in relevant areas or any upcoming properties at the same station.
How many units are in each railway station?
The amount of units situated in each railway station varies. Some larger railway stations have more train station shops for rent. These railways tend to be those with greater footfall, with multiple travel providers or modes of transport (i.e. train, tram, bus, underground). However, some stations may be limited in size but lay in a tourist area or nearby attractions, such as sports stadia, theatres and other appeals attracting more users annually. As a result, pursuing a shop at such a site may be beneficial due to exclusivity.
As a rough example, East Croydon station has some of the highest footfall of GTR’s sites, averaging 24 million visitors annually.
With more than 230+ railway stations to choose from, we are sure to find the correct location for you.
