Office Space for Rent in West End London

Looking for an office in London's West End

Costs 

If you’re considering a serviced office or coworking environment, prices are based ‘per person’, which normally equates to approximately 60 sq ft for a fully-furnished and cabled office on a ‘ready-to-go’ basis The only additional charges are IT (£70 – 99 per person per month) and VAT. You can expect to find a private office for these prices in a shared business centre, with communal areas such as kitchens, breakout spaces and a fully-staffed reception.

These business centres also boast all the modern amenities you could possibly need to run your business.

Although development in the area is limited, there are still a number of modern, stylish office blocks as well such as the 32-storey office tower in New Oxford Street.
