Cost of office space in London
London office FAQs
How much does office space cost in London?
Serviced offices in London typically average £750 per desk per month, while private and managed space sits around £95 per sq ft per year. Prices vary by district, building grade, and lease length — premium addresses can run 30–50% above the average, while peripheral submarkets are often 20–40% cheaper.
Which areas of London are best for office space?
The most active submarkets are Shoreditch, King's Cross, Mayfair. Each has a distinct character — from established corporate cores to creative quarters and emerging tech clusters — so the right choice depends on your team's commute, client base, and brand positioning.
Do I need a broker to find an office in London?
No. Spacebly connects you directly to operators and landlords across London, so you keep negotiation leverage, see real-time availability and pricing, and pay nothing in broker fees. Brokers typically take 10–15% of year-one rent — that's money that stays in your business when you go direct.
What lease lengths are available in London?
Flexible/serviced terms start at one month and run to 36 months. Managed and conventional leases typically run 3–10 years with break clauses. London has one of the most mature flex markets (especially strong for tech, finance, and creative industries), so even smaller teams can secure short, transparent terms.
How fast can I move into a new office in London?
Serviced and managed spaces in London can be move-in ready within 1–2 weeks. Custom fit-outs and conventional leases take longer (8–16 weeks). Going direct through Spacebly typically shortens the whole process by 3–4 weeks versus a brokered search.
Is hybrid working changing the office market in London?
Yes — demand has shifted firmly toward flexible, high-amenity space with strong meeting-room capacity and shorter terms. London operators have responded with hospitality-grade fit-outs, on-demand meeting rooms, and per-desk pricing that scales with hybrid headcount.
