A Little About This Space
Old Street Station is the world’s first underground station dedicated to innovative retail and immersive brand experience. This tiny unit provides the perfect space to set up your kiosk or sampling bar, right in the centre of the station. Use the large cupboard area to the side, and the panel above the unit, to put your branding and logo in front of thousands of commuters a day. The space comes with electricity, a storage cupboard and a double-sided lightbox for branding.

THE CROWD
Watch as Londoners break their daily commute with a bit of unexpected retail therapy. Old Street attracts a mixed crowd, from City workers to those working in what Wired magazine calls the “fastest-growing tech cluster” in Europe. They’re looking for quick and easy purchases – a good chance to offer commuters a quick pick-me-up or something to help kick-start their day. Peak travel times are between 8-10am and 5-8pm during the working week.
MEET THE NEIGHBOURS
You’re next door to another one of our our pop-up units, opposite the fast food cafe Nincomsoup, and near the independent bookshop, Camden Lock Books. We’ve got more pop-up shops a few doors down, view our other spaces available in Old Street station here.

Home Truths
There is construction work happening in some parts of the station throughout 2019, but the underground and the retail units will remain operational throughout the planned works.
The station is a busy environment, which means the more exciting and innovative you are the more likely you are to make an impact. Consult with our Concierge team to make the most of appearing underground.
Old Street is a living, breathing underground station, with all its perks (amazing footfall, access to all the creative minds of silicon roundabout), and pitfalls (dust from the tracks and pests).
There is no water supply, but access to water is possible.
