Unit 25A offers a 367 sq ft retail space positioned in one of London Paddington’s most established concourse corridors — a space already demonstrated to perform, previously occupied by well‑loved brands. This unit delivers what ambitious retailers need most: strong, consistent customer flow, a clear revenue opportunity, and a format that allows you to trade confidently from day one.

And uniquely to Paddington, this concourse benefits from something no other UK station can offer: the built‑in draw of Paddington Bear — a brand with global recognition and a constant pull for families, tourists and international travellers.

Your customer opportunity

The arrival of the Elizabeth line has strengthened the all‑day flow of customers across the concourse and increasing the frequency of high‑intent purchasing missions.

Why Unit 25A performs

367 sq ft of efficient, flexible retail space

Ideal for operators who need a compact footprint that can still move volume — whether that’s premium gifting, food‑to‑go, curated edits, accessories or lifestyle retail.

Positioned in Paddington’s central concourse cluster

Your brand sits directly within the main movement line between national rail, the Elizabeth line, and the Underground. This is where customers pause, gather, wait and make quick shopping decisions — a perfect environment for high‑conversion retail.

A platform for retailers who want to scale

Unit 25A solves several common retailer challenges:

  • “We need reliable footfall that converts.”
    Paddington’s £93m retail sales base shows customers buy here — regularly and confidently.
  • “We need a location that works for multiple customer missions.”
    Paddington captures commuters, business travellers, families, tourists, leisure visitors and Heathrow‑linked passengers.

If your ambition is to build visibility, test new formats or scale a concept into a nationally recognised travel‑retail footprint, this unit offers a strong foundation.
