The 5 Most Affordable Office Spaces in Central London
Whether you need an affordable office space to start your own business or are a homeworker looking to break away from your kitchen table, staying within budget will be a critical consideration that requires serious thought. In London, even more so, the cost of rent has been ranked the highest in Europe in 2021.
We understand that finding office spaces that meet your needs can feel impossible, especially if you don’t know where to look. That’s why we’ve done the leg work for you and collated the top five most affordable office spaces in Central London, available with Spacepool, that offer the most bang for your buck.
Arboretum
Arboretum is a members club, hot desk office space located just off Trafalgar Square, a short three-minute walk from the tube stations at Leicester Square and Charring Cross. It is open Monday to Friday and has 20 desks available to book.
Priced at an exclusive and very economical £55 per month for full membership, with an optional day rate of £18 if you can’t commit to weekly usage, Arboretum is cosy, comfortable and has a stylish vintage feel.
The perks you pay for include two lounges, a mix of plush sofas, countertops, bistro and high tables, offering a relaxed and comforting environment for networking and co-working. Buy a drink at the bar and visit the cafe to keep energy levels up, or spend an hour at the boutique gym to burn off stress.
Arboretum has everything from showers to day beds to keep you fresh and on top of your game. Don’t want to be distracted? Book a phone booth for work calls or their meeting room for formal, professional conversation. Low-cost and cost-effective, Arboretum is an excellent choice for anyone looking to break out of their home office and into the city.
The Loft at Queen’s Studios
The Loft at Queen’s Studios is a flexible co-working space, with 25 desks available, for those that can’t commit. For their membership fee of £89 a month, you have full use of their co-working space for ten days a month at any time (including weekends).
There is no long-term commitment either, as it is a rolling calendar plan, perfect for the indecisive among us. The Loft is located only a short six-minute walk from Queen’s Park tube station and is a stunning heritage building conversion that effortlessly blends a historic building with a modern industrial style.
The rooms feel airy and light created using a blend of exposed brickwork, large windows, and bright white, enlarging a compact space perfect for small teams, remote workers and freelancers.
Perks for the price include access to practical amenities such as full use of their kitchen, showers, parking, lockers, and bike storage. Need somewhere private?
They’ve got breakout rooms and meeting rooms that members can rent at an exclusively low price. It's pet-friendly, too, for those days when Fido can’t be left home alone.
A sleek, contemporary hot desking office space that is practical and affordable, perfect for small businesses, freelancers and remote workers who need a focused space to crack on with work.
Neighbourhood Works
Neighbourhood Works is an office space designed to fit the needs of individual remote workers, freelancers and teams of any size, who need flexible, collaborative office space a short three-minute walk from the LC bus stop on Mare Well Street.
Affordably priced at £89 a month, this office space is available on a one-month rolling contract for maximum flexibility. Included in the membership fee, you receive full access to their hot desk longe, five access day passes and discounted meeting room prices.
Also, rather heartwarmingly, a portion of that is donated to the charity Beam, which helps homeless people turn their life around through skills training and career support.
Neighbourhood Works prides itself on its community feel, reflected in its open-plan office space designed explicitly for collaborative working. The host further encourages sharing ideas through their weekly events programme, whose speakers inspire and inform members on various topics.
However, for essential meetings that require privacy, there are breakout and meeting rooms away from the main thoroughfare. Other amenities available for full use include a kitchen, bike storage, lockers, parking, showers and wifi.
Pets are welcome, too, in this home away from home office space. With vibrant colours offset by the warm wood and high windows, Neighbourhood works is a warm, comfortable space perfect for anyone looking to escape their kitchen table or avoid the traditional corporate vibe of an office.
Huddle Hammersmith
Huddle Hammersmith is the ideal budget-friendly office space with a unique design that mixes futuristic elements with hipster flare. Situated only a five-minute walk from Hammersmith tube station and Latymer Court bus stop, this is a centrally located London office space you won’t want to pass up.
Slightly pricer than previous options at £90 a month for full membership, we promise it's worth the extra pounds. Currently, there are 25 available desks, which can give you 24-hour access to their onsite amenities and facilities, a secure location and a combination of collaborative co-working space and private rooms.
On this membership, you can access Huddle Hammersmith any five business days within the month, Monday to Friday. A “space designed to grow with you”, Huddle Hammersmith has carefully designed their offices to be flexible to the needs of an individual, small businesses and larger corporate teams.
Onsite you can choose between hot desks and private break-out rooms and rent official meeting rooms depending on your needs that day. When you require a pick-me-up, visit their onsite cafe, the Gentleman’s Barista, or stop at a complimentary refreshment standard for a coffee and a piece of fruit.
Other helpful amenities include bike storage, lockers, a gym, showers, phone booths and a mailing address. That’s excellent value for money! A fashionable combination of charcoal grey with a pop of colour, this light-flooded office space is effortlessly cool and reasonably priced.
Archway Centre
Our final convenient and flexible option is Archway Centre’s bespoke office spaces, a mere two-minute walk from Archway tube station and bus stop. Budget-friendly, simple and self-sufficient, Archway Centre offers a 10-day package that is too good to pass up.
Pay £95 monthly for full access to their lounge, hot desk space and fully stocked kitchen. Perfect for summer, the fee covers access to their roof terrace for alfresco meetings to soak up the sun.
Archway Centre’s offices have an uncomplicated style, using a blend of exposed brick, simple white furnishings and walls. The windows illuminate the practical and functional office space with natural light.
Onsite, you can find valuable amenities such as bike storage, phone booths and showers. You can also book a private chat in their private breakout and meeting rooms, away from listening ears.
Uncomplicated, authentic and affordably priced, work in peace at Archway Centre’s office spaces sheltered from the hustle and bustle of London’s centre.
