market overview

Europe's deepest flex market anchored by London

England contains one of the three largest office markets in the world and the densest cluster of flexible workspace supply in Europe. London alone accounts for the majority of national stock, with demand clustered in the City, Canary Wharf, the West End, Shoreditch and King’s Cross.

Outside the capital, Manchester has developed a genuine second-tier market in Spinningfields, NOMA and the Northern Quarter, with Birmingham’s Colmore Business District and Leeds’s Wellington Place carrying equivalent weight in the Midlands and Yorkshire. Liverpool, Bristol, Sheffield, Newcastle and Nottingham each support sizeable regional flex economies with pricing at a fraction of London levels.

Product mix runs the full range from ultra-premium managed suites in Mayfair to independently operated coworking in regional creative quarters. Occupier demand is driven by financial and professional services, technology, media, life sciences and a deep base of SME and scale-up firms.
