Can you rent a private office in a coworking space in London?

When people hear “coworking”, they often imagine open desks and shared spaces. But that is no longer the only option. Many coworking spaces now offer private offices.

At Apex Coworking in West Hampstead, businesses can rent private offices for teams of two or more while still benefiting from the flexibility and shared facilities of a coworking environment. It’s an ideal solution for companies looking for a professional workspace without the long commitments and upfront costs of a traditional office lease.

Can we really book a private office in a coworking space?

Most modern coworking spaces offer private office space options alongside hot desks and dedicated desks.

A private office gives you a room that only your business uses. Depending on the provider, you may rent it:

• by the day,
• monthly,
• on a rolling contract.

Private offices are usually fully set up when you move in. That means desks, internet, meeting spaces and shared facilities are already available.

Why book a private office in a coworking space?

Private offices in a coworking space combine privacy with flexibility. You have your own workspace while still benefiting from shared facilities such as kitchens, meeting rooms and breakout areas.

Some of the main advantages include:

• Utilities included in one monthly payment
• Fully furnished offices ready to move into
• Flexible agreements
• High-speed internet included
• Shared kitchens and breakout areas
• Access to meeting rooms
• Professional working environment

How much does it cost to rent a private office space in London?

Private office prices in London vary depending on the location, office size and what is included. They typically start from around £1000 to £1,500+ per month, although premium central locations can cost more.

At Apex Coworking, private offices start from £1,000 + VAT per month. In comparison, renting a traditional office can cost you a lot more because the costs go much further than just the monthly rent.

With a traditional office, businesses often need to pay for:

• internet and utilities,
• cleaning,
• furniture and setup costs,
• meeting room equipment.

Our private offices are designed for teams of two or more. However, we also have Day Offices that are available from £45 + VAT per person, giving you the flexibility of a coworking day pass with the added privacy of your own dedicated office – all without a long-term commitment.

Who is a private office beneficial for?

Private coworking offices can work particularly well for:

• Startups that need flexibility while growing
• Freelancers who want a professional environment
• Self-employed professionals meeting clients
• Creative businesses needing focus without isolation

It can also suit small remote teams who want regular office days without committing to a permanent office.

What to consider when choosing a coworking private office?

The facilities

Before booking, check:

• Wi-Fi quality
• meeting room access
• phone booths
• kitchen facilities
• 24/7 access
• security and privacy

The costs and what’s included

Avoid choosing based only on the monthly price. Ask:

• Are utilities included?
• Are meeting rooms charged separately?
• Is there a minimum contract?
• Are there any joining fees or set-up fees?
• Is there any deposit and, if so, how much?

At Apex, there is no hidden cost: no joining fee, no set-up fee. Everything is ready for you to move in, at no extra cost. Besides, there’s only one month’s rent as a deposit.
