    Is your office still set up like it's 2019? Because remote and hybrid work are here to stay and they're completely reshaping office demand in London. Here's what we're seeing from hybrid teams in 2025.

    Number One: Less Desk Space Per Person

    Hybrid teams don't need a desk for everyone, every day. Instead, companies are reducing desk density and investing in collaboration zones, breakout areas, and meeting hubs that bring people together when they're in.

    Number Two: More Focus on Flexible Office Leases

    Teams want agility. We're seeing a huge rise in shorter leases, managed offices, and co-working options, giving businesses the ability to scale up or down as head count changes.

    Number Three: Experience Over Square Footage

    Today's employees value wellbeing, design, and culture, over how many desks you can squeeze in. Across London, one trend is clear. Companies are taking slightly less space, but using it far smarter. Hybrid layouts, social hubs, and flexible work zones are defining the new normal.

    At Tally Workspace, we help London teams find and design office spaces that truly fit hybrid ways of working. Flexible, future proof, and built for growth.
