What is a serviced office?

A serviced office is a fully furnished, managed workspace that’s ready to move into, with services such as reception, cleaning, internet and meeting rooms included. You’ll also hear them called flexible offices, managed offices or business centres.

How quickly does office space go in King's Cross?

At the moment, very quickly. Arron Browne, our Head of London Flex, recently saw shortlisted options for a 12,000 sq ft requirement go within a week. Well-funded AI and tech businesses can commit in days, so being ready to decide matters as much as finding the right space.

How far ahead should I start looking for office space in King's Cross?

For larger requirements, we recommend starting around six months before your move date. That gives you time to understand the market, agree your decision process and act quickly when the right option comes up.

Which companies are based in King's Cross?

King’s Cross is home to Google and Google DeepMind, and to AI businesses including OpenAI, Anthropic, Wayve and Synthesia, alongside research institutions such as the Francis Crick Institute and the Alan Turing Institute.

Are there alternatives to King's Cross nearby?

Yes. Euston, Bloomsbury, Camden and Clerkenwell are all close by. Euston in particular is one to watch, with HS2 and a major masterplan proposed for the area.

Is a serviced office or a traditional lease better for my business?

It depends on your growth plans, your timeline and how you work. Flex gives you agility, while a lease can suit businesses with stable, long-term needs. Our team advises on both, so we can help you weigh up the options.

Office space and serviced offices in King’s Cross

Looking for office space to rent in King’s Cross? You’re in one of London’s most exciting business districts, home to the Knowledge Quarter and a fast-growing cluster of AI and tech businesses. Whether you need a serviced office, a managed space or a whole floor, Cushman & Wakefield’s team will help you find the right fit.

Market view from Arron

I’m five weeks into my role as Head of London Flex, and what has struck me most is how fast the best space in King’s Cross goes. On a live search for around 12,000 sq ft for a global tech business, some of the options I shortlisted had gone within a week.

The reason is who we’re competing with. King’s Cross is now one of the world’s leading AI and tech hubs, and well-funded scale-ups can see a space they like and commit within days. Enterprise occupiers, with several layers of sign-off, can be first to view and still lose out. In this market, availability doesn’t equal opportunity.

My advice if you’re planning a move:

Start six months out, not three.
Agree who signs off, and how quickly, before you view.
Look beyond the obvious. Demand in King’s Cross is already rippling towards Euston.

London’s AI hub: the Knowledge Quarter

King’s Cross has become one of the world’s leading AI hubs. It began in 2016, when DeepMind, newly acquired by Google, moved in. Others followed to be close to that talent, and the area around the station is now widely known as the Knowledge Quarter.

Today, Google and Google DeepMind are bringing teams together in Platform 37, Google’s new building next to the station. OpenAI is creating its permanent London home at Regent Quarter, Anthropic is expanding in the Knowledge Quarter, and businesses including Meta, Wayve, Synthesia and Isomorphic Labs are close by. The Francis Crick Institute and the Alan Turing Institute add world-class research to the mix.

For occupiers, that brings real advantages, with talent, investors and partners on your doorstep. It also brings competition. Well-funded AI and tech businesses can commit to space in days, so the best options in King’s Cross rarely stay available for long.

Prime location with exceptional connectivity

Serviced offices in King’s Cross offer unrivalled access to domestic and international destinations, sitting at the intersection of multiple transport routes. The area is served by King’s Cross and St Pancras stations, two of London’s busiest transport hubs.

With direct links to six London Underground lines (Circle, Hammersmith & City, Metropolitan, Northern, Piccadilly, and Victoria) and national rail services, businesses can connect seamlessly with the rest of the UK and Europe.

St Pancras International provides a gateway to continental Europe via the Eurostar, making it an ideal location for businesses with global ambitions.

Securing space in King’s Cross

Finding the right space in King’s Cross is only half the job. Being ready to secure it is the other half. Our advice:

Start early. Begin the conversation around six months before your move date, not three.
Agree your sign-off process before you view. Know who needs to say yes, and how quickly they can do it.
Know your non-negotiables. It makes fast decisions much easier.
Be ready to act within days. If a space ticks your boxes, assume someone else thinks so too.

Whether a serviced office, a managed space or a traditional lease is right for you depends on your plans. Cushman & Wakefield’s team advises on all three.

Looking beyond King’s Cross

Demand in King’s Cross is rippling into the surrounding areas. Euston is one to watch. With HS2 and a proposed masterplan covering around 60 acres (approx. 24 hectares), including around 5 million sq ft (approx. 465,000 sq m) of business and innovation workspace, the area is set to change significantly. Bloomsbury, Camden and Clerkenwell are also within easy reach, and can offer more choice for occupiers who find King’s Cross too competitive.

A King’s Cross office provides great opportunities for networking & growth

In addition to big tech, the area has attracted numerous research and academic institutions, including the Francis Crick Institute and the Alan Turing Institute. These organisations enhance the area’s reputation as a knowledge hub.
