One of York’s smallest listed buildings could soon be put to a new use.
The taxi kiosk at York Station is now available to rent for commercial use.
Previously used by Station Taxis, the kiosk is said to be “suitable for a number of uses excluding a taxi office”.
The kiosk, in the north east corner of the portico, is Grade II listed. Timber with a glass roof, it dates from about 1900.
“This is an unusual survival of an increasingly rare building,” the official listing states.
According to the lease document, this is a “prime serviced retail unit” in a station with around 9.5 million passengers a year.
The 164 square feet kiosk is on the market for a rent of £1,667 pcm, or £20,000 a year.
The details add: “The station will during 2025 to 2026 be undergoing redevelopment work and the intention is to pedestrianise the portico.”
York Station Taxis still gives the portico as its address on its website. YorkMix contacted the business for a comment but hasn’t yet heard back.
