28 office spaces to rent in Cambridge

Expect to pay more than in most regional cities. On live listings as at October 2026, a private office has a median of £469 a desk a month, below the £515 London median but well above Leeds or Glasgow. Demand from technology and life sciences firms keeps availability low and rates firm, particularly near the station. The monthly licence includes business rates, service charge, utilities, internet, furniture, cleaning and reception, so there are no separate bills to add on top.

Most of the stock is around Cambridge station, where the CB1 development holds the larger modern buildings, and in the historic centre, where offices are smaller and housed in converted buildings. North of the city, the area around Cambridge North station and the Science Park suits technology and research businesses that want to be near the park's tenants. The Cambridge Biomedical Campus to the south anchors the life sciences cluster. Which one suits you depends mainly on who you need to be near.

We list 28 offices in Cambridge, mainly from WeWork and IWG, with Fora also present. The choice is narrower than in the big regional cities, so it is worth starting early: the buildings near the station fill quickly, and the right size of office in the right building may not come free for a few weeks. If what you need is not on the page, tell our team and we will check with the operators directly.

Yes. The listings run from offices for two people to suites for sixty or more, across 278 desks in total, so a team can start small and often move up within the same building. Life sciences and deep technology firms here often grow in steps after a funding round, which is exactly the pattern a flexible licence is built for: you can take a larger suite on a new licence without breaking a lease.

The fastest trains from Cambridge reach London King's Cross in a little under an hour, and services also run to Liverpool Street and to Stansted Airport. That connection is why many businesses keep a Cambridge office alongside a London one, or take Cambridge space for a team that visits London clients rather than hosting them. Cambridge North station gives the Science Park its own direct services, so a team based there can reach London without crossing the city first.

Speed here depends more on availability than on paperwork. Once you have found a suite that is free, the licence and a deposit of one or two months' fee can be settled within days, and the office comes ready to use. The harder part in Cambridge is the search itself, because good space near the station is let quickly, so it pays to start viewing a few weeks before you need to move. Terms run from one month upwards.
