Plus, here you can enjoy high-end retailers, luxury hotels and the finest restaurants. If you are looking for outstanding transport links, Holborn and Victoria may be of interest to you.
State-of-the-art amenities
An office isn’t just a place to work. It’s a place to work smart whilst enjoying elegance, ease and flow. Ask about leading conferencing technology, video call booths with enhanced lighting, roof terraces, bike storage, stylish shower rooms and super-fast, reliable wifi. You may also want to explore our 70+ meeting rooms, each conveniently close to transport links that give the right impression to clients and guests.
Design and aesthetics
The best office environments are designed with you in mind.

Explore heritage spaces with period details or contemporary lounges with stylish spaces to meet or work throughout the day. Make a statement by leading clients past marble pillars and sweeping staircases or by showing them impressive, panoramic views from stunning floor-to-ceiling windows.
Flexibility and scalability
Your office environment should work for you. Here are some points to consider when deciding if an office environment will work for you. Does the space offer flexible working plans? Can you work from an office in the City of London one day and in Chelsea the next? Can you access contemporary coworking spaces, as well as private offices? Are there opportunities to grow and scale your business in the space?

The future of London’s best offices
As we look to 2025 and beyond, the office landscape in London is evolving and shaping workspaces in a variety of ways. Here are key trends you can expect to see:
Sustainability at the forefront
Sustainability is becoming a top priority, with office spaces incorporating energy-efficient systems, eco-friendly initiatives and renewable waste solutions. You can expect to see companies adopting sustainable practices, reducing their carbon footprint and creating healthier, environmentally friendly work environments.
Tech integration
As technology advances, cutting-edge solutions will become the ‘norm’ in office spaces. Think furniture with integrated technology, sensors that monitor and maintain air quality, advanced security systems including facial recognition and fingerprint scanning, and cybersecurity tools such as AI-based threat detection.
Biophilic design
Using natural elements in office space design is a popular trend. You can expect to find more indoor plants and greenery, vertical gardens filled with live plants on interior walls, large windows and skylights to maximise natural light, bamboo furniture, walls and floors with natural textures, water features such as fountains and aquariums and furniture designs that mimic natural forms such as rounded, organic shapes. It is expected that offices with access to outdoor terraces, balconies and rooftop gardens will also rise in popularity.
