Entrepreneurs often take a skewed view of the world – identifying opportunities that others miss. Some spot a canal barge and imagine a mobile hairdresser, others see a church basement and picture a tapas restaurant.
Recently, Lambeth council has been seeking renters for its disused public toilets, with bar and cafe operators among those who have expressed an interest. In Deptford, 14 new trading spaces are opening up under the carriage ramp, London’s oldest railway structure. A hi-tech software company in Dartmoor has made a former railway store its home, while a food startup is selling salad from a phone box.
We’d like to see any unusual business locations that have caught your eye. Perhaps you’ve spotted a bookshop on a barge? Maybe are you an artist working out of a railway carriage? It could be that you have decided to set up your business in a lighthouse, or inside a shipping container. Take a photo, share it with us, and we may publish it in a gallery on the Guardian Small Business Network.
