Rental Guide for Office Space in Shoreditch
|
NB. Leased office rents, rates and service charge are quoted per ft2 per year. The above rental estimates reflect good quality (but not prime) air conditioned offices. More expensive and cheaper accommodation will generally be available. Rent rates and service charge estimates are only intended as a guide. Office space is often available with costs outside these guidelines. Negotiated rent free incentives will often make the net effective rent, lower than the above estimates. Business rates payable will vary from year to year, changing each April, due to annual changes in the Uniform Business Rate. Higher rates are paid for brand new buildings. Rent quoted in the City of London financial district is assumed not to be in a tower, where rents can be significantly more expensive |

About Shoreditch
Shoreditch is a popular location around Old Street Roundabout reaching further East along Shoreditch High Street.
Creative Shoreditch office space is far more than just a cheaper alternative to offices in Soho or Farringdon & Clerkenwell. And as office rent in Shoreditch rises, they’re not even a cheaper alternative anymore.
Companies in Shoreditch benefit from a creative tech hub which is continuing to attract large and small companies looking for a little bit more. A creative work environment, populated by like-minded people.
Sometimes self-deprecatingly nicknamed Silicon Roundabout and more excitingly Tech City, vibrant Shoreditch has created a bit of a buzz in recent years. Large numbers of innovative tech and creative startups have flocked to Shoreditch – initially because it was markedly cheaper than an office in Soho – traditionally the preferred home of creative industries – but also because Old Street is perceived as a bit edgy and architecturally unusual. Converted buildings with natural light, timber beams and high ceilings make an office in Shoreditch an ideal location for the right type of business. Government investment sealed the area’s reputation as a technology hub and prime location in its own right.
Interesting and quirky office space can be found in Shoreditch. Old warehouse buildings converted into both shared and private office space – for example Derwent London’s Tea Building– are large enough to accommodate an entire cluster of young tech, creative, media and fashion businesses.
New Shoreditch office developments have attracted big businesses such as Yammer, McCANN, digital, Bloomberg, TransferWise & OpenTable. And they are being joined by the energy of smaller companies and startups, sometimes in the same building. Shoreditch has become a melting pot of creativity, making it a hugely popular area for aspiring businesses.
To exploit growing demand for flexible, serviced office space in Shoreditch, coworking specialists WeWork have leased 7 floors at the Tower, by Old Street roundabout. This space has been repackaged and let to small and dynamic companies looking for serviced office space in Shoreditch – on far more flexible terms than they can get from traditional landlords. Most Shoreditch serviced office space operators also offer virtual offices – a virtual business address, without the physical space – as well as flexible meeting room hire.
Occupants of Shoreditch office space benefit from excellent rail & tube transport links (Old Street and Shoreditch High Street Station) and a huge variety of leisure facilities including lots of smaller independent restaurants and shops – all within short walking distance.
