| King’s Cross | Tech and life sciences around Google’s and the Francis Crick Institute’s campuses, with the best rail links in the city. | 2 centres |

Starting prices are the lowest published per-desk asking price for a private or dedicated-desk office in that district, shown only where at least three are published. Published asking prices for private offices in London currently run from £200 to £1,200 per desk per month, with a median of £525 (the London Office Space Price Index has the breakdown by district).
Three questions settle most searches. Where do the people you need to see sit, clients, investors, a partner firm, a university? Where do the people you need to hire live, and which district do they already commute to? And how much of the monthly budget is the address worth: in most cities the same team pays materially more for the prestige district than for the one next to it. London is no exception, which is why the live listings are sorted by price with the district on every card.
