Location, Location, Location

75% of Fortune 500 companies have offices in London, for the most obvious reason- The City is accessible to your every need. There are different modes of transportation from buses, 8 TFL stations including different tube lines and mainline train stations.

To accommodate work-life balance, you want to be situated in an area that makes it easy to complete chores such as visiting the post office or bank. Within the boundaries of the City of London there are a plethora of major UK and foreign banks, and if you choose a serviced office in the City you can rely on the in-house postal service and say goodbye to wasting your lunch breaking standing in line at the Post Office!

Because the City has everything you need within a square mile, it has developed its own business ecosystem and by choosing a serviced office right in the centre, you become a part of the infrastructure, and so does your brand. The reputation of those organisations around you become indicative of what new customers, clients and staff can expect from your own brand.

Appeals to Potential New Hires

Major cities are centers of progress and development, which is a magnet to millennials. They are attracted to the hustle & bustle and fast-paced lifestyle that a metropolis has to offer. The City of London provides a very specific vibe - an effervescent and multicultural atmosphere of like-minded organisations. From business bankers to finance journalists and law firms, brands based in the City choose to establish themselves in this square mile because it represents a prestigious postcode and a sense of thought leadership.

Diversified Talent Acquisition
