EC4 Office Space

An eclectic range of businesses and organisations base themselves within office space in the EC4 district.

The broader Eastern Central Four postcode is broken down into sub-postcodes, including EC4A, which covers Fetter Lane; EC4M, which covers St Paul’s; EC4N, which covers Mansion House; EC4R, which covers Cannon Street; EC4V, which covers Blackfriars; and EC4Y, which covers Temple and parts of Westminster.

The EC4 postcode district is roughly bounded by Cheapside to the north, London Bridge to the east, the River Thames to the south, and Chancery Lane to the west. It generally encompasses the southwestern corner of the City of London and Fleet Street.

The EC4 district covers a large and diverse area that contains several clusters of occupiers from specific sectors. The majority of industries are represented within the district.

Equally, occupiers have a broad range of office buildings to choose from, including characterful period buildings that have been extensively yet sympathetically updated to provide ultramodern office space within unique spaces.

EC4 also offers state-of-the-art, modern Grade A office buildings, such as those at New Street Square, which have achieved a Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM) ‘Excellent’ rating due to being powered by 100% renewable energy.

One New Change also achieved a BREEAM ‘Excellent’ rating due to the incorporation of elements such as the triple facade, highly efficient plant, heat rejection piles and bores, rainwater harvesting, and sedum green roof areas. One New Change also offers 370 bicycle spaces in its basement.

Landlords offer exceptionally appointed leased office spaces for rent in EC4. These blank canvas office spaces are furnished, fitted, and managed by the tenant.

A growing number of high-end flexible space brands also offer a range of flexible office space and workspace solutions that provide agility with all-inclusive rental pricing.

These include move-in-ready private serviced offices that are fully furnished, fitted and equipped with state-of-the-art business technologies. Clients enjoy using premium shared amenities including bookable meeting rooms, break-out areas, quiet zones, fitness facilities and outdoor spaces such as roof terraces.

Managed offices are ready-fitted; however, the client leads the fit-out and furnishing process. Custom offices can include private reception areas, meeting rooms, executive suites, open-plan workspaces, hot-desking zones, kitchens, and bathrooms, and clients can choose a bespoke service level package.

These workspaces and offices are let through flexible licences with relatively low commitment in terms of agreement length; however, options to extend are provided.

The option to expand into a larger space within the same building provides agility during times of business growth, and there are many offices in the EC4 district that can accommodate 500 or more desks.

Equally, these licences allow a business to be nimble and contract into a smaller space when required.

This form of flexible business accommodation is priced using an all-inclusive rental model. The one monthly fee covers overheads such as utilities, cleaning, furnishings, reception staff costs, complimentary refreshments, and other expenses, providing excellent business and accounting efficiencies.

They are also designed and managed with an ESG consideration, ensuring they are run sustainably and equipped with end-of-trip facilities, including electric vehicle chargers, showers, and changing facilities for self-powered commuters.

However, the EC4 district offers a vast number of public transport links.
