In short: Small workshops in London include lock-up garages, railway arches, mews units and small industrial units. They're in demand from trades, makers, mechanics and small businesses. Before you rent, check what you're allowed to do there: storage-only garages often can't be used as active workshops, and noise, power supply and planning use all matter.

Type of space	Typical uses	Watch out for
Lock-up garage	Storage, light hobby use	Often storage only; no power or water
Railway arch	Workshops, studios, breweries, gyms	Noise, damp, landlord restrictions
Small industrial unit	Trades, light manufacturing, vehicle repair	Business rates, service charge
Mews or yard workshop	Craft, design, light trades	Residential neighbours and noise limits

Before you rent
