ABOUT

The area between Chancery Lane (east) and Kingsway (west) is known as the heart of Midtown. This area has historically been the home to lawyers, judges and barristers due to the close proximity to Lincoln’s Inn and Gray’s Inn Gardens. Rebranded in around 2010, it represented a bringing together of elements of the West End, Soho, and the City of London into one unique ecosystem, aiming to attract professionals, entrepreneurs, startups, and more.

The area of High Holborn has a diverse range of occupiers ranging from major corporates such as McKinsey to small start-up tech firms based in the We Work at Chancery Lane. Get in touch with our team of expert London office rental agents for more information on property in the area.
