The London Office Rental Guide

Last updated: 25th December 2018

The London Office Rental Guide is updated every 3 months – with a breakdown of costs for all 19 central London commercial locations.

The rental guide covers monthly rental for longer term leased offices in London (per ft2) – broken down into rent, rates and service charge – and all inclusive serviced office costs across London.

It’s available in multiple formats below – as a chart, in a table and plotted on a map.

We publish a blog post with each update analysing any changes in London office rent, as well as predicting likely rises and falls in the coming months.

The London Office Rental Guide is also available to download in multiple formats.

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.
