Lonely Corner of the Month

I love this 6 x 7 foot wedge of the Highams Park Station Car Park. I walk past it twice a day and wonder what it covers, why was it never turned into a coffee kiosk or a flower bed, or a lamp post base, or a bike parking spot, or, or, or...

As far as I'm aware it's only ever been used as a Summer sandwich seat for the sandwich bar (Mario's it's called now) next it, or for Summer smokers waiting for the next Liverpool Street bound train. 

Should a campaign be started, or a business launched to maximise this poor little spot's superb location?

Earlier this year, the car park has received the great Park Mark honour for safety and security http://www.greateranglia.co.uk/about-us/news/2013/01/highams-park-rail-station-car-park-receives-award-for-security

Perhaps our sad corner of it, helps in some way, unbeknownst to us lay people, to deter crime.
