Half of the 891 priced office listings SquareFoot tracks sit between £325 and £675; the cheapest tenth asks under £250 and the top tenth over £850. That median is down 1% on 2026-10.

Against other published figures

Other publishers’ London numbers, with how far SquareFoot’s median sits from each. Measures differ (a mean runs above a median in a market with a premium tail) and so do samples; the comparison is shown so the gap is visible, not hidden.

What the price includes, and what moves it

An asking rate in London covers the furnished room, internet, reception, cleaning, utilities and shared meeting space; most operators quote per desk and per month and sign for one to twelve months, rolling after. Three things move the number: the district, the size of the office (larger teams pay less per desk), and the operator’s incentives on term, which the index cannot see. Private offices quoted only on inquiry are counted as centres but carry no price here; as quotes arrive they enter the index as quoted observations and are reported separately from published asking rates.

Method and data

Prices are collected from operator pages that permit automated reading, from availability mailings operators send SquareFoot, and from quotes received on inquiries; converted to per desk per month; checked against a plausibility band; and published only when a city has at least 50 listed spaces, 25 priced, from two or more sources. The full method is on the SquareFoot Flex Index methodology page. The numbers in this post are available as open data in the London JSON feed (CC BY 4.0).
