A former, small West End ticket kiosk on a traffic island near Leicester Square is on sale for \u00a33.3m (\u20ac3.9m\/$4.4m) plus VAT.<\/p>\n
The freehold property is a former ticket kiosk, which many Londoners would have used to purchase tickets for theatre shows, and is based on Charing Cross Road. It has a small structure at ground level with a cast iron staircase, which leads down to a wider basement area.<\/p>\n
It has been called Tourism Island as well as a general ticket kiosk, and sold West End tickets as well as tickets for local attractions.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It also supplied The London Pass for tourists that wanted to explore England\u2019s capital city.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The old kiosk is being advertised as an \u2018iconic island\u2019 for sale and has been on the market for eight months as it is struggling to find a new buyer. The ground floor measures 250 square feet while the lower ground floor, or basement, is 1,448 square feet.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In a Facebook group, Londonist Urban Oddities<\/a>, a user called Barry Isaacson has posted a picture of the former ticket kiosk, where other users have reminisced on visiting London for the first time and purchasing attraction tickets.\u00a0<\/p>\n Another user, Geneva Standbridge, commented: \u201cProbably a stupid question, but was this a ticket booth back in 2009? I\u2019ve been to London several times from Canada since 2009, but that first trip I distinctly remember buying West End show tickets at a kiosk like that, and going down a spiral staircase to the underground area seems to ring a bell.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n Sherryl Lynn Sinclair added: \u201cI got some fantastic tickets from that booth back in the day.\u201d<\/p>\n Image: Thomas Charters<\/a>\u00a0on\u00a0Unsplash<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
