Devonshire Square Office Space

Devonshire Square in the City of London dates back to 1768 when it was used as a warehouse, storing raw silk and other goods and textiles. It grew as more land was acquired so that more warehouses could be constructed and was used in this way until 1820.

Today, Devonshire Square, or DSQ, is a vibrant 5-acre mixed-use scheme offering prime Grade A office space, bars, restaurants, shops, fitness facilities and events venues.

The modern EC2 scheme conceived by architects R Seifert and Partners was designed to create buildings sympathetic to the original eighteenth-century warehouses. Its covered courtyards are highly popular al fresco dining areas, with establishments such as Drake and Morgan, Enoteca da Luca, and Old Bengal Bar providing refreshments.

Devonshire Square is home to approximately 20 bars, restaurants, and shops, and over 80 bars and pubs are in the surrounding areas.

The locale is somewhat of a melting pot as it sits between Bishopsgate and the City Fringe. This means it is popular with office occupiers ranging from multinational finance companies to independent media consultancies, making it a thriving hub of business and culture.

Incoming occupiers can choose prime office spaces to rent that are available with state-of-the-art infrastructure and ready-to-fit.

A growing number of flexible workspace options are also available, including CAT A ready-fitted plug-and-play office spaces managed by premium office providers and workspace operators on behalf of clients.

The high-end private serviced offices and managed office spaces are available on relatively short-term contracts compared to leased offices, and the licences allow for extensions to terms and expansion into larger suites with offices available to accommodate teams requiring 250 or more desks.

Private serviced offices are fully furnished, lockable office suites. Clients enjoy access to first-class communal amenities such as meeting rooms, breakout spaces, focus booths, cafes, and gyms.

Managed offices are pre-fitted; however, the client leads the fit-out. Custom offices with bespoke service packages can include private reception areas, meeting rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, showers and other facilities.

These options offer all-inclusive packages, so the monthly rent covers utilities, cleaning, furnishings, buildings insurance, reception, administrative support, enterprise-grade IT systems, and concierge services.

The high-end offices near Devonshire Square are managed in an ESG-considered manner, so they offer sustainable workspaces with end-of-trip facilities such as bicycle storage, showers, and changing facilities.

However, clients enjoy easy access to excellent public transport links from Aldgate, East Aldgate and Liverpool Street stations.
