A Guide to Canary Wharf’s Office Rental Space

More than 120,000 people and counting choose to work in Canary Wharf, and the business community consists of a dynamic combination of start-ups, scale-ups and industry leaders ranging from EY and Revolut to Apple.

As a result, choosing an office at E14 and Canary Wharf isn’t just about finding four walls and space for a desk. It’s about choosing an environment that attracts and retains top talent, giving you access to an ecosystem that enables business opportunities as well as work/life balance.

What factors affect office rental prices?

Typically, office rental prices are influenced by a variety of factors including:

  • Location
  • Size of the floor area
  • Building age
  • Services and amenities available
  • Tenancy length

That’s all before you get to the office fit-out, preparing the space to suit you and your team before you move in.

In London, the demand for office space is high, but it’s not just any office space.
