You asked

To Whom It May Concern: I am submitting this FOI request to inquire about the future of the property at 56 Great Western Road, W9 3BT, formerly Big Table furniture shop, which ceased trading last month. It is my understanding that TFL acquired the property through the Crossrail bill in 2005*, are they still the landlords, and can I be put in contact with the people managing the property currently? https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/plans_for_the_site_of_56_great_w?utm_campaign=alaveteli-experiments-87&utm_content=sidebar_similar_requests&utm_medium=link&utm_source=whatdotheyknow

TfL acquired the property through the Crossrail Bill but this was only for the leasehold interest where the term has now ended. The freehold land is owned and managed by Network Rail  - please contact them directly for further information: https://www.networkrail.co.uk/communities/contact-us/
