37 office spaces to rent in Nottingham

Partly the city and partly what is listed in it. At £290 per desk per month, Nottingham sits at about 40% of the £511 London median and a little under Newcastle, which makes it one of the lowest of any UK city we cover. Land and building costs in the East Midlands are genuinely lower, but the mix matters too: almost everything here is a small suite in converted Victorian stock rather than new-build floors with the specification and service charge that come with them. You are paying less and, in fairness, getting a simpler product.

About thirty people, and this is the single most important thing to establish before you look at anything else. Thirty is the smallest ceiling of any city on this site: Leeds reaches 58, Newcastle 80 and Southampton 240. Nottingham is well supplied between two and fifteen desks across 37 listings, and the choice thins sharply above that. A team of forty cannot currently sit together here in flexible space at all. If that is your requirement, a conventional lease or a managed floor fitted to your own brief is the realistic route, and it needs starting several months earlier than a serviced office search would.

The Lace Market first. Its Victorian warehouses, converted into small suites, hold the densest concentration of flexible space in the city and most of the character. Around Old Market Square and Maid Marian Way you will find the more conventional office buildings and what larger floors exist. The Creative Quarter, running out through Hockley and Sneinton, is cheaper and more informal, and carries most of the smaller studios. NG2 Business Park and the Meadows, south towards the station, are the parked out-of-town option. Nottingham is compact, so all of this is a short walk or a few tram stops apart and worth seeing in one day.

Four operators, across 37 listings, which is the most concentrated market of any city we cover. Two conversations cover roughly half of it, so a thorough search here is a short one. The consequence worth being explicit about is that our view of Nottingham is partial in a way it is not in Manchester or Birmingham. There is stock in the city that never reaches a listing site, particularly at the larger end and among the independent landlords around the Lace Market. If nothing on this page fits, that is a reason to ask rather than a reason to write the city off.

Better than its size suggests, largely because of the tram. It runs north to Hucknall and south to Clifton and Toton, which widens the pool of people who can reach a city-centre office without driving, and that is unusual outside the largest cities. Nottingham station puts Birmingham at roughly seventy minutes and London St Pancras at about one hour forty. East Midlands Airport is twenty-five minutes by road. There is no charging clean air zone for private cars, so driving in stays realistic in a way it is not in Birmingham, though central parking is priced accordingly and most Lace Market buildings have none of their own.

Not from us, and the reason is worth stating rather than glossing. Every one of the 37 spaces on this page is a private office; no operator here lists coworking with us at all, so quoting you a shared-desk rate would mean inventing one. Nottingham itself has shared workspace, particularly around the Creative Quarter and the two universities, but none of it publishes availability to listing sites. Tell our team what you need and we will ask them directly. Worth weighing first, though: at these rates a small lockable office for two often costs about what a pair of memberships would elsewhere.
