According to our latest Flexible Workspace Review, growth in the number of serviced workspaces in Central London is as high as 17% in Southbank and 11% in the West End – key areas of the Capital. With a host of flexible office space available in London and a growing community of entrepreneurs, it represents one of the world’s most attractive bases for business.

Growing markets outside of the capital are also now attracting domestic and international interest. With big names in industry expanding their businesses throughout the UK, companies can anticipate mixing with major corporate firms almost anywhere across the country. In the past year, nearly all of the UK’s office markets have experienced growth, which stems from high demand for workspace and a supply market that has yet to catch up. Finding office space is, therefore, highly competitive and it is advisable to seek advice during the search for space.

Dominic needed to source a suitable office for his start-up in Marylebone (London, UK) that could accommodate his 4 employees as well as cater for any growth in the future.

Lucy helped him secure an ideal space within two weeks, on a 12-month flexible term, in a location perfect for his business.

Lucy Ruff has been a lifesaver over the last month or so. We needed to find some office space in Marylebone (London, UK) and I was worried it was going to take up so much of our precious early start-up hours – but no! Lucy called me within minutes of pressing ‘go’ on Instant Offices, talked through our needs and had sent over potentials for us to view within the same day. One of the two options we ended up choosing and I can only put that down to her understanding of our needs and her understanding of the market. Painless process successfully navigated with only a few minutes of my time. Absolute star!
