With Broadgate Circle and Liverpool Street Station at its core, the Liverpool Street area of the City of London is in the ward of and has its main thoroughfare in Bishopsgate. It is close to London Wall, with iconic buildings such as The Gherkin on St Mary Axe beyond that. It is also close to both Old Street and Spitalfields.
Although traditionally associated with large financial institutions, the Liverpool Street area now attracts a broader cross-section of occupiers that are attracted to the diverse choice of commercial properties from sympathetically transformed characterful period buildings to brand new ESG-considered, sustainable office buildings.
Modern offices in the locale include 22 Bishopsgate, also known as Twentytwo, which, at 278 m (912 ft) tall with 62 storeys, is the tallest in the City of London, and offices at Broadgate that include UBS’s ‘groundscraper’ building, which offers space for 3,000 desks and measures 700,000 square feet (65,000 square metres) yet comprises just 12 storeys.
Both forms of office buildings – period and brand new, offer various ways for a business to occupy space, including renting office space on a conventional lease and opting for a contemporary and flexible approach.
The ‘flex space’ options in Liverpool Street include private serviced and semi-serviced offices, managed suites and floors, and co-working spaces.
These are occupied by flexible licences that provide the option to renew at the end of a term and also the opportunity to grow into a larger space in line with business expansion. Offices in Liverpool Street offer space for 800+ desks if required.
These options are fully fitted and ready to occupy and, therefore, require little or no upfront capital expenditure unless a high level of customisation is required.
Additionally, these business spaces, sometimes called Cat A+ offices, are priced all-inclusively, meaning that the rent covers overheads such as utilities, furnishings, secure enterprise-grade IT systems, cleaning, and so forth. Many also offer gyms, barista bars, break-out spaces, boardrooms that can be hired on an ad hoc basis, and end-of-trip amenities such as electric vehicle chargers, showers, and changing facilities.
Many of the premium private offices in Liverpool Street also offer enhanced amenities such as reception, secretarial and concierge services.
Being a key district in the City of London, it presents a generous wealth of amenities to occupiers and visitors with coffee shops such as Black Sheep at The Leadenhall Building, restaurants such as The Ivy at Dashwood House on Old Broad Street, Duck & Waffle on the 40th floor at 110 Bishopsgate, and Gaucho and José Pizarro at Broadgate.

The Liverpool Street district is named after its train station, which opened in 1874. Twenty years after opening, it had the most platforms of any train station in London. Between 2022 and 2023, it carried over 80 million passengers, making it the busiest station in the United Kingdom. Footfall was boosted by the opening of Crossrail’s Elizabeth Line in May 2022.
As well as on its most recent line, Liverpool Street Station offers services on the Central, Circle, Hammersmith & City, and Metropolitan lines, as well as Overground and several other rail lines.
