Frequently Asked Questions

Is Borough a good place to locate a business?

Borough exists as a busy and energetic area located in a convenient spot near the heart of the city of London. With strong transport connections, and a good footfall, it’s suitable for a wide range of businesses that occupy its significant office space. Whether you’ve got eyes on The Shard, or are a startup looking for some reasonably priced office space, it’s easy to see why Borough is a popular choice.
If your business is centered around one of London’s other clusters like tech or education, somewhere like Tech City or Kensington might be more suitable given the local business networks and connections that already exist in clusters such as those. But Borough carries a certain appeal, and with good amenities, strong public transport options, as well as being a picturesque part of the city, and a real ‘sleeves rolled up’ attitude, depending on your industry, Borough might be the perfect place to lease a commercial space.

What is the parking like in Borough?

As with most areas of London, finding and securing parking in the Borough area can be difficult and expensive. With large areas pedestrianised, and lots of parking restrictions along busy commercial and residential streets, the best option is likely to be public transport. That said, parking can be found by the committed. The best option for finding parking is often to plan and book ahead. Parking on Great Suffolk Street, for example, can be as low as £7 for two hours, and some of the hotels in the area allow parking for non-residents. These are likely to cost more in the region of £16 or two hours – the ibis at Southwark offers such parking.
With lots of parking restrictions around the area, plan to spend significant time finding a space, or try and pre-plan and book parking ahead of time if driving in the Borough area.

How much does Borough office space cost?

The cost of leasing an office in Borough can vary widely depending on the exact street and postcode, but you can expect to pay from £20 per square foot for a bare bones office space, up to £85 per sq. ft. for a fully-kitted out, high specification office.

What types of office spaces are available in Borough?

With small office spaces made for scrappy startups and sole traders sitting alongside skyscrapers like The Shard, Borough offers a mix of office spaces which will be suitable for businesses of many sizes.
Whether your business has a head count of 12 or 12,000, our experts can help you find a suitable space within your desired budget. If you’re not sure where to start or need professional advice on finding the perfect office space, contact our team of experts who would be happy to help.

Does Borough have good gyms and fitness classes?

While Borough doesn’t have as many gyms in its vicinity as some other areas of London, there are still a handful providing fitness options in the area. Many of these are value chains like PureGym on Long Lane, and Fitness4Less at Great Suffolk Street, Southwark. If you’re working in the Southwark area, spaces in these gyms might be competitive, and a gym closer to home might be a more viable option, but there are dedicated fitness classes for those who look – try 3Tribes Hot Yoga on Marshalsea Road, or The Fitting Rooms for personal training options.
