Millbank Office Space

Millbank office space is situated in a unique location overlooking the Thames, close to Buckingham Palace and Whitehall, and offers excellent amenities.

With its association with large and prestigious institutions, it is a highly sought-after location for a business.

Millbank is located east of Pimlico and south of Westminster, on the northern bank of the Thames facing Albert Embankment.

It is named after a watermill owned by nearby Westminster Abbey. The mill stood at a site close to present-day College Green, across the road from the gardens of the Houses of Parliament. College Green is used today by television crews to interview politicians outdoors.

The area was extensively damaged during the 1928 Thames flood disaster, when floodwaters overflowed the top of the Thames Embankment, and was subsequently redeveloped during the 1930s.

Millbank is associated with several notable historical moments. At the Royal Army Medical College, the vaccine for typhoid was first developed, and in the late 19th century, the world’s first modern prison was established on the site.

This site is now exclusively associated with the arts, having been redeveloped in 2005 as the arts college for the Chelsea College of Art and Design. The Tate Britain art gallery also stands directly opposite, near the end of Vauxhall Bridge,

Millbank Studios is located at 4 Millbank, as is the BBC Parliament broadcasting channel. Other channels also use the studios for Westminster and governmental coverage.

The district is also notable for the Millbank Tower office skyscraper. The 119-metre (390 feet) tall building was completed in 1963 and was the first building in London whose height surpassed that of St Paul’s Cathedral. Millbank Tower was the UK’s tallest tower for a short while, though, and many other developments soon surpassed its height.

Over the years, the Grade II-listed tower has been home to several high-profile institutions, including the Conservative Party, the Labour Party, the United Nations, and the World Bank.

Today, like many other office buildings in Millbank, it offers a blend of traditionally rented office space and modern, flexible workspace solutions occupied by an eclectic range of well-respected businesses of varying sizes.

Large corporations, including British American Tobacco and ICI, established themselves in Millbank, and the headquarter offices of the global fashion brand Burberry are located on Horseferry Road.

Chosen by institutions and prestigious organisations, the office space in Millbank offers world-class business accommodations in a highly sought-after location with unique amenities and excellent public transportation links.

In addition to traditionally leased office space for rent, Millbank and its locale offer a growing range of flexible office space and workspace solutions that provide agility and efficiency.

Private serviced office suites and larger pre-fitted managed offices and floors are available. These options provide ‘plug and play’ workspace solutions managed on the client’s behalf.

Private serviced offices are fully furnished and equipped, offering lockable space with access to premium communal amenities, including bookable meeting rooms, quiet zones, breakout areas, gyms, cafes, and outdoor spaces.

Managed offices are ready-cabled, but the fit-out and furnishing process is tenant-led. Custom offices can include private reception areas, meeting rooms, executive suites, hotdesking zones, kitchens, bathrooms and other amenities. The service level pack is also bespoke.

These flexible workspaces are paid for through a once-monthly all-inclusive rent that covers items such as utilities, cleaning, reception services, enterprise-grade internet services, and other overheads that would be typically paid for and managed separately if leasing an office in Millbank.

As these office spaces are let by licence, occupying clients have the freedom to efficiently modify their footprint by levelling up their footprint in line with changing business requirements.

Many offices in Millbank offer space for 500 or more desks. Equally, the agile licences allow a company to contract into a smaller space as needed.

The prime office buildings are designed and managed with an ESG consideration, appealing to those seeking space that aligns with their sustainable credentials while offering a wide range of amenities.

The high-end commercial properties offer end-of-journey facilities including showers, lockers, changing rooms and EV chargers for self-powered commuters.

However, clients enjoy excellent public transport links from Pimlico, St James’s Park and Victoria stations.
