As businesses embrace flexible working and a better work-life balance, areas surrounding London have become increasingly attractive for office locations. Whether it’s the ease of access for commuting staff, lower overheads, or a more relaxed environment, there are many reasons to consider basing your office just outside the capital.
If you're looking for serviced offices near London, temporary workspaces, meeting rooms, or even virtual offices near Gatwick or Heathrow, this guide highlights the benefits of working outside London, alongside some of our standout locations.
Choosing a serviced office outside London can be a strategic move for businesses of all types. Here’s why companies are increasingly setting up shop in areas like the Thames Valley and Greater London commuter belt.
Renting a serviced office outside London is generally far more affordable than central city locations. From rent and utility bills to cleaning and building management, the costs can quickly add up in the capital, especially if you’re not in a flex space, like our offices in London. In contrast, offices just outside London offer premium spaces at lower prices, helping you redirect your budget towards growth, talent, and innovation without compromising on quality.
While still within reach of London’s extensive talent pool, offices outside the city open access to skilled experienced professionals from a wider area. With fewer barriers to entry - like long commutes or the high cost of city living - you can attract diverse talent and enhance your recruitment efforts.
London is no longer the only business hub in the UK. Industry centres in aviation, pharmaceuticals, finance, logistics, and recruitment are flourishing in the surrounding areas of the capital. Our office locations outside London are situated in these thriving hubs, providing a perfect setting for businesses looking to join a growing, collaborative community.
Offices near major hubs like Gatwick, Heathrow, and Stockley Park make it easier for your team and clients to stay connected. Whether commuting from nearby towns or flying in from abroad, strong transport links simplify travel - facilitating smoother meetings and better networking opportunities.
Avoiding the congestion, high living costs, and long commutes of central London can significantly improve employee wellbeing. By locating your office in a calmer environment, you’re creating a more balanced, productive workplace that supports your team’s health and happiness.
We’ve highlighted four of our standout serviced office locations just outside London, each offering smart, modern facilities and flexible leasing options to suit your business.
