The UK’s capital city is a well-established hub for flexible office space, home to a wide selection of spaces from household industry names such as WeWork and The Office Group to unique independent providers. This vast city can be split into five areas; Central, North, South, East and West, each with a slightly different offering for businesses. As the core of the city, Central London is naturally, a popular area for businesses and in turn a hub for flexible office space. Shoreditch is known for its vibrant tech scene, and in the prestigious West End area of Mayfair you’ll find some of the largest and well-established companies in the world.
In the East of London, Hackney has become popular with creative industries, and sitting in stark contrast is Canary Wharf which is the financial hub of the city. South London is an up-and-coming area for businesses looking for more affordable rent prices and in areas like Brixton, more flexible workspace is opening up as demand grows. In the West of the city, this leafy area is a popular residential area, but its fast links into central London still make it a desirable location for businesses. A trend we are beginning to see is more flexible workspaces opening up in residential markets to cater for those preferring to work closer to home.
London offers many benefits for businesses, despite the often high rent prices for offices, the city is well-connected through its underground system and has a bustling social scene and green spaces to enjoy. The flexible office market continues to grow and as more providers come onto the scene, there is plenty of choice to suit your business’ needs.
Our local experts in London are on the ground with an in-depth knowledge of the city and the different market offerings, so that we can find you the right workspace, for the best price.

Working with Kim was great, she was super responsive and we (Expedia) ended up with exactly the space to meet the needs of our diverse workgroup, which encompass a wide range of work functions and preferred workstyles. Definitely recommend working with Workthere & Savills in the future.

Kim assisted us with our office search, from start to finish. We were given a personalised proposal matching our requirements, Kim arranged tours of shortlisted spaces and negotiated the deal on our behalf when we had chosen our preferred space. It was great to use workthere as it saved us time and money with our search, we’d recommend Kim and workthere to anyone looking for a new office.…

I am delighted to have worked with Kim and her team in Workthere. Kim was wonderful from the start. She listed, understood our needs and came up with a very suitable list of properties to start with. When we could not find a match after a few visits, Kim kept looking and found a solution that worked for us in terms of price/quality. This is the third time…

Hot desking office spaces suit teams that are distributed across various locations and are constantly on the move. These work environments give you the freedom to drop in and out whenever you require an office space, without the need for dedicated desks.
These hot desking office spaces are available to rent on a daily or monthly basis, and are highly flexible with contract options to match your team’s requirements. Meeting rooms can then be booked when you need them at an hourly rate. If your teams are located around the country, it’s great to have this added flexibility.
There are many membership options for hot desking spaces, and they often come with shared kitchen, bathroom, and lounge area facilities. Some providers can also allow access to their work spaces within the same city, country or worldwide, granting even more freedom where your teams can work.
