62 office spaces to rent in Central London at Orega

Measured across live listings as at September 2026, the median private office in Central London is £676 per desk per month, about a fifth above the £515 London median. The figure is all-in: rent, business rates, service charge, utilities, internet, furniture, cleaning, security and reception on one monthly licence, so a team of ten budgets roughly ten times the per-desk rate and receives no separate bills. Central is where the spread is widest, from the high £600s in Fitzrovia and Chancery Lane to close to £1,000 in Mayfair, so the area you choose moves the budget more than the building does. Figures come from live listings and refresh weekly.

The northern and eastern fringes, and the gap is worth several hundred pounds a desk. Fitzrovia at £678, Chancery Lane at £654 and Holborn at £700 sit well below Mayfair at £992, Oxford Circus at £800 and Soho at £756 - all within a fifteen-minute walk of each other. If the postcode matters less than the payroll, look one ring out: East London averages £427. The practical test is whether client meetings or payroll dominate your week. Teams that host visitors most days usually find the West End premium pays for itself; teams that mostly work heads-down rarely do, and the fringe areas give them the same transport links for several hundred pounds a desk less.

More than anywhere else in the country. Central London holds over 900 flexible buildings run by roughly 150 operators, carrying 1,201 desks between them. Office sizes run from a single desk to about 1,400, so the same search covers a founder taking one room and a company moving 300 people. The practical effect is that you should not settle: on any given week there are usually several genuine options at your size and budget within a few streets of each other, which is what makes the rate negotiable. Tell us headcount, budget and the stations that matter and we will shortlist what is actually available - at no cost to you.

Yes, and it is what most people here are looking for. A private office is a lockable room of your own inside a serviced building, with reception, meeting rooms, kitchens and breakout space shared across the floor - your own front door without your own lease. Sizes start at one desk, so a two- or three-person company can have a private room rather than hot desks in an open floor. Pricing is per desk per month, so a four-person office costs about four times the per-desk rate with nothing added. Coworking desks are also available across Central London at £300 a month if you want the flexibility instead.

Effectively everything except your own phone and IT choices. The monthly fee normally covers rent, business rates, service charge, utilities, high-speed internet, furniture, cleaning, building security, staffed reception, and shared kitchens and breakout space. Meeting rooms are usually included up to a monthly allowance and charged hourly beyond it. What to check before you sign: the size of that allowance, printing, whether IT support and phone lines are extra, out-of-hours access if your team works late, and the deposit, which is typically one to two months. Every Rubberdesk listing shows what a building includes, so you can compare two quotes on the same basis rather than on the headline rate.

Pick the line most of your team already uses, then the area. Victoria, London Bridge and Kings Cross are the big mainline gateways for the south, south-east and north respectively. Farringdon and Liverpool Street put the Elizabeth line and Thameslink together, which is the strongest single combination in London for a team scattered across the home counties. Oxford Circus and Holborn sit on the heaviest tube interchanges for people already inside the city. Almost all of Central London is inside the Congestion Charge and ULEZ zones, so plan for public transport rather than parking.

Days rather than weeks. The room is already furnished, wired and staffed - the space is already furnished, wired and staffed, so the licence and deposit are usually the only delay, and a week or two is typical. Managed offices, where an operator fits a floor out to your specification, take four to twelve weeks. Because Central London has the deepest supply in the country, availability is rarely the constraint; the decision is. If you need to be in by a particular date, say so at the outset and we will shortlist only buildings that can actually meet it rather than ones that look right on paper.

It depends whether your team's time or your rent is the bigger cost. Central commands £676 a desk against £427 in East London, £424 in West London, £346 in North London and £315 in South London. For a team of twenty that is a meaningful annual difference. Against it: Central is where client meetings are easiest, where commutes converge from every direction, and where you can move between buildings without leaving the area when you outgrow one.
