Victoria & Westminster Office Cost Guide — London
Government, lobbying, consultancies. Modern Grade A around Cardinal Place and Nova; period stock toward St James's.
Victoria has been transformed over the last decade by Land Securities' redevelopment of Cardinal Place and the Nova estate. The submarket now hosts Microsoft UK, Tesco Group HQ, Google's London policy team and a heavy cluster of consultancies, lobbying firms and charities drawn to proximity to Westminster. Building stock is mostly post-2010 Grade A — wide floorplates, excellent EPC ratings, and pricing that sits comfortably below Mayfair while delivering equivalent quality.

Victoria & Westminster FAQs
Is Victoria expensive?
Mid-range for central London. Cheaper than Mayfair, more expensive than the City.
Is the area too political?
Westminster proximity attracts public-affairs tenants; if you're consumer-tech you might prefer Soho or King's Cross for cultural fit.
