In the City (Bank, Liverpool Street, Moorgate, Monument) a desk in a serviced private office runs a median of £580 a month, so a ten-person team pays about £5,800 a month all-in. Mayfair and St James’s, where many funds and private equity firms sit, run a median of £845 a desk; Canary Wharf is the value option at £379.
Banks, brokers, insurers and the advisers around them cluster in the City and at Canary Wharf. Hedge funds, private equity, family offices and wealth managers concentrate in Mayfair and St James’s. Fintechs often split the difference with offices around Liverpool Street, Aldgate or Shoreditch, close to both the City and the startup belt.
A lockable private office with its own access control, a dedicated internet line rather than shared Wi-Fi, meeting rooms suitable for clients, and the building’s out-of-hours access. Ask what your compliance team needs from the space before you shortlist, and get the operator’s IT and security specification in writing.
A serviced office gets a new team, a London branch or a spin-out operating in weeks on a flexible licence. Established firms with a stable headcount often move to a conventional lease for control over the space and the fit-out, accepting a five- to ten-year commitment.
