Chancery Lane Office Space

Office space on Chancery Lane refers to workspace located on the one-way street that runs from east to west through London’s Midtown, starting at the western boundary of the City of London, passing through the City of Westminster.

Although the street is relatively short, it is noteworthy, and its history is significant.

The route originated as New Lane, created by the Knights Templar in the 12th century. It extended from their original temple on the site of the present Southampton Buildings to their newly acquired property to the south of Fleet Street, which would become their new and present temple.

Chancery Lane’s current name dates back to Ralph Neville, who was both Bishop of Chichester and Lord Chancellor of England.

The area around New Lane came into his possession in 1227, when King Henry III granted him land for a palace on the street. The access route to the Chancellor’s palace was named Chancellor Lane and was varied over the centuries to its current form.

Chancery Lane was the location of one of the Inns of Court, Sergeants Inn, which was for Judges and Sergeants-at-law only. However, the society’s relevance diminished as Serjeants-at-Law were gradually superseded by Queen’s Counsel in the nineteenth century.

The area surrounding Chancery Lane remains home to two of the four most important legal societies in London today: Gray’s Inn and Lincoln’s Inn.

Today, Chancery Lane is home to the Law Society of England and Wales, several high-profile legal practices, consulting firms, and ancillary businesses. The street and its immediate vicinity are also home to high-profile occupiers from other sectors. They are the location of the London offices of the multinational engineering and design firm WSP and the British supermarket chain J. Sainsbury.

Businesses and organisations choose to rent office space on Chancery Lane as it is steeped in history, combined with state-of-the-art business technologies, ultra-modern premium amenities, and excellent public transportation links.

Landlords offer exceptionally appointed leased office spaces for rent on Chancery Lane, and premium office providers and workspace operators offer a range of flexible office space and workspace solutions that provide agility to contemporary users with all-inclusive rental pricing.

Examples of these include move-in-ready private serviced offices and ready-fitted managed offices.

The private offices are fully furnished and fitted, and clients enjoy 5-star communal amenities including meeting rooms, break-out spaces, quiet zones, fitness facilities, cafes and outdoor spaces.

Managed offices on Chancery Lane are ready-fitted, but the client can customise the fit-out and furnishings. Clients can specify private receptions, boardrooms, executive office suites, hot desking zones, kitchens, bathrooms, and shower facilities and create a bespoke service level package.

These forms of business space follow an all-inclusive pricing model, so the one monthly fee covers overheads such as rent, utilities, cleaning, furnishings, reception staff costs, complimentary refreshments, and other expenses, providing excellent business and accounting efficiencies.

Sustainable office buildings are managed in an environmentally friendly and ESG-considered manner. They provide end-of-trip facilities for self-powered commuters, including bicycle storage, showers, and changing facilities.

However, clients also enjoy excellent public transport links from Chancery Lane station, which is at the junction of High Holborn, Hatton Garden, and Gray’s Inn Road.

Holborn station is also nearby and adjacent to Lincoln’s Inn Fields, London’s largest garden square, measuring 9 acres, which provides an abundance of green space for a lunchtime stroll.
