office spaces in london

Because the way people work has changed, and your office should reflect that. A flexible office means you're not gambling on how much space you'll need in three years' time. You can start small, grow into a bigger space, or adjust if things change - all without penalty or the cost of breaking a lease. In a city where commercial rents are high and business moves fast, flexibility isn't a nice-to-have - it's how smart companies operate.

Our contracts start from just three months, giving you the flexibility to adapt as your business evolves. Whether you're testing a new market, scaling quickly, or just not ready to commit to a long-term lease, short-term agreements mean you're never stuck. Longer terms are available too, often at a better rate - speak to our team to find the right fit.

London moves quickly, and so do the businesses based here. A serviced office gives you the flexibility to match that pace - move in fast, scale when you need to, and avoid tying up capital in a long lease and expensive fit-out. You also get the benefit of being part of a wider community, with networking opportunities, events, and shared amenities that a standalone office simply can't offer. For most growing businesses, it's the smartest way to get a great London workspace without the overhead.

Our London offices accommodate teams of all sizes, from one person up to around 100. Whether you need a private office for a small team of three or an entire floor for a scaling business, we'll have something that fits - and if you outgrow it, we'll help you move into a bigger space without the usual disruption. Get in touch with your team size and we'll show you what's available.

Because we've built our spaces specifically for growing teams - and our members seem to agree, with a 4.8 out of 5 rating from over 600 reviews. Unlike the bigger operators, we're not trying to cram thousands of people into a single building - our spaces are designed to feel like home, not a corporate holding pen. You get fully serviced offices in some of London's best neighbourhoods, free meeting rooms, a genuine on-site community team (not an ai-chatbot), and a members' community of ambitious businesses at a similar stage to you. Our contracts start from three months, we accommodate teams from 1 to 100, and we'll work with you as your needs change rather than pointing you to the small print

A serviced office is a fully managed workspace that's ready to use the moment you move in. The space comes furnished, the wifi is set up, meeting rooms are available, and there's an on-site team handling the day-to-day running of the building. You pay a single monthly fee that covers everything - no separate bills for utilities, rates, or maintenance. It's designed to let you focus on your business instead of managing a building.

It depends on the area, the size of your team, and the type of space you're after. London office space can range from a few hundred pounds per desk per month in outer zones to well over £1,000 in premium West End locations. At Runway East, our fully serviced offices start from around £420 per desk per month, with everything included - no hidden extras.

It depends on your industry and where your team lives, but East London - particularly Shoreditch and the surrounding area - has long been the go-to for startups. The talent pool is strong, the culture is entrepreneurial, and you'll be surrounded by like-minded businesses. That said, London Bridge is increasingly popular with early-stage companies who want excellent transport links, and Soho is hard to beat if your clients are West End-based. We'd recommend booking a tour at a couple of our locations to see which one feels right.

With a traditional lease, you're renting empty space - typically on a 5-10 year commitment. You're responsible for fitting it out, furnishing it, sorting broadband, managing maintenance, and covering business rates and utilities on top of your rent. A serviced office comes ready to work in from day one. Everything is included in a single monthly fee - furniture, wifi, meeting rooms, utilities, and on-site support. The contracts are shorter, the upfront cost is dramatically lower, and you can scale up or down without the headache of renegotiating a lease

Runway East have offices across London, from the West End (Tottenham Court Road, Bloomsbury, Shaftesbury Avenue, Soho) to London Bridge and East London (London Bridge, Borough Market, Borough High Street, Shoreditch, Aldgate East)

Very. Every Runway East location is chosen with commutability in mind. Our London offices are all within a few minutes' walk (sometimes seconds) of major tube stations and bus routes, and several are well-served by overground and mainline rail too. London Bridge, for example, offers direct trains to Brighton and Gatwick, while our East London spaces sit between Old Street, Liverpool Street, and Shoreditch High Street stations. Wherever your team is coming from, getting to the office shouldn't be the hard part.
