“The Police Box is situated in the sought-after Pleasance district of Edinburgh, occupying a prominent position at the cross-junction where Cowgate meets Pleasance. This busy location enjoys a high volume of passing vehicle and pedestrian trade due to the volume of office, university, retail, sport and leisure facilities all within close proximity. This opportunity would be ideal for a Coffee Kiosk, or any other suitable retailing use.”
The box has electrical and water supply and sits less than half a mile away from Edinburgh’s Waverley Station.
It currently is located beside a Salvation Army across the street from a Travelodge and numerous other cafes, restaurants, pubs and retail shops.
