ABOUT

Offices in North London are mainly focused in the central hubs of King’s Cross, Camden and Islington. The area around King’s Cross station, once known for its nightclubs, has been transformed into a destination in its own right. The Coal Drops Yard and surrounding area of the newly developed King’s Cross station has attracted a number of major occupiers away from the West End; none larger than the might of Google who have a significant office space at Pancras Square.

Camden and Islington house a significant level of office supply, but are still better known for their residential and retail offerings. This does in turn lead to lower rents despite being extremely well connected for both the City and West End. As the centre of London continues to expand, we expect to see demand for these areas increase over the next few years.

With an office in North London, there is always plenty to choose from both in and out of work hours.

The area continues to see an influx of independent and more established chains open exciting new retail and leisure ventures in the area. The restaurants and bars of Granary Square are well worth a visit, with the likes of Caravan, and Dishoom based here. The Coal Drops Yard continues to boom in popularity and features big names like Barrafina, Paul Smith and legendary Sons & Daughters.

In Islington, we would always recommend a trip to Trullo for some authentic regional Italian food. The area of Camden wouldn’t be worth visiting without a trip to the market for some street food. As the area continues to attract businesses of all sizes, more premium offerings sit alongside the odd greasy spoon, so you’ll be able to find Michelin stars to impress your clients, as well as somewhere for a team breakfast the morning after.
