Farringdon at a Glance
Total offices 1,542 across 44 buildings
Pricing: from £450 to £700 per desk per month
Farringdon sits at the junction of the City of London and Clerkenwell, making it one of the best-connected office locations in central London. Farringdon station is the only point where the Elizabeth line, Thameslink and three Underground lines all intersect, giving teams direct access to Heathrow, Canary Wharf, Luton, Gatwick and Brighton from a single station. Desk rates sit around the London average, roughly 30% below office space in Fitzrovia and broadly comparable to office space in Holborn. The area has a strong creative and design heritage rooted in Clerkenwell, alongside a growing tech and professional services presence drawn by the transport links.
Teams comparing nearby areas often look at office space in Shoreditch, which has a similar creative reputation but a different feel, or office space in the City of London, which offers a more corporate environment at higher desk rates.
