Private office space across the whole UK
Your own lockable office, your own team, your own culture. We search the market, negotiate the rate and shortlist for you, completely free.
A private office gives your team a lockable room or floor of its own inside a managed building. You get the privacy and identity of your own space without the cost, delay and legal work of a conventional lease.
Private offices come in every size, from two person rooms inside a coworking building through to whole floors for a hundred people. Pricing is usually per desk per month and normally includes rent, rates, utilities, internet and cleaning.
OfficeZen compares private office options across a wide range of UK operators and buildings, checks what is genuinely available rather than what is merely advertised, and negotiates on your behalf. Free to you, always.

Private offices: common questions
How much is a private office in the UK?
Typically £250 to £450 per desk per month in major regional cities and £550 to £950 in central London, all inclusive. Smaller towns are often below £300.
What size private office do I need?
A comfortable rule of thumb is 50 to 70 sq ft per person for a private office. Hybrid teams often size for 60 to 70 percent of headcount plus a meeting room.
Can I brand a private office?
In most managed and serviced buildings you can add signage, brand the interior and adjust the layout. The extent depends on the operator, which is one of the things we check for you.
