Property Description

Office space in The Shard is what many will find when searching online for the best office space in London.

Many will find blog posts created by office agents and office brokers with titles that go along the lines of, ‘The Best offices in London’ or ‘The Coolest Offices in London’ or ‘The Top 10 Offices in London (and why!)’ and others along the same lines.

We prefer not to create these types of shortlists – we are independent and impartial and know that what constitutes as the best office in London by someone may be quite different for somebody else – it is a subjective matter and depends on many factors.

What we do at Prestige Offices is only list offices that are highly equipped, have very high levels of customer service, are mindfully designed, and may have some additional wow factor, then we leave it to our clients to decide what is best for them.

The Shard is one of those offices – it meets all of the above criteria and, arguably, possesses a little more wow factor than many others.

The office space for rent in The Shard may not be the most expensive office space in London but it is, arguably, some of the most impressive.

Ever since the Renzo Piano-designed commercial property was completed in 2013, it has dominated London’s skyline.

So named because it resembles a shard of glass, the 95-floor structure is the tallest building in the United Kingdom, and its viewing deck on the upper floors, The View from The Shard, has become one of London’s most popular attractions, due to the unique panoramic views of London that it offers.

The private office suites for rent in The Shard are a little lower down the property on floors 24 and 25 and offer some of the best views from an office in London.

The operators of the flexible workspace in The Shard have accomplished an exceptionally high-quality fit-out of the offices befitting the majesty of the property and worked with architects, Archer Humphreys, to actually create a juxtaposition in styles. They created a warm interior using dark woods, soft lighting and tactile materials to contrast with the steel and glass of the iconic skyscraper.

The team of experts that created the London statement office space has a wealth of experience in designing luxury hotels, restaurants, residences and resorts, and it really shows.

The office space in The Shard is environmentally friendly, too, as the property has achieved a Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM) rating of ‘Excellent’. It achieved this because it has an on-site energy plant, a triple-skin energy-efficient façade, solar blinds that minimise glare, and waste in the property is converted into energy through incineration and low volume high pressure water taps.

The fact that The Shard is so close to London Bridge Station helps it tick even more ‘green office space’ boxes as its location makes commuting so efficient.

The private office space is managed by an office provider that takes care of everything for you from cleaning to handling your calls.

This also means that the office rent is all-inclusive with all usual commercial property overheads such as service charge, insurance, energy and so forth covered by the monthly licence fee.

Shared facilities include break-out spaces, private phone booths, kitchen facilities and bookable meeting rooms and event spaces.

Although these are serviced offices in The Shard, access is not restricted in any way and clients enjoy the use of their office suites 24/7.

These are ready-to-use offices however bespoke office space design and furnishing services are available by request.

The licences that the offices are held under are flexible providing the option to scale and full-floor occupancy is often available.
