Office Space East London: 20 Buildings & Best Prices 2026

Looking for office space East London on a monthly basis? Wezoo lists 20 buildings with private offices across the E and IG postcodes, holding 263 offices between them — 260 of which publish a monthly price, from £229 for a one-person room in Barking to £148,450 for a whole floor in Wapping.

This page is a census, not a shortlist. Every figure below is read from, or derived from, the live Wezoo listings of 14 September 2026 — price, floor area, stated capacity, facilities and move-in date, building by building. Derived figures are labelled where they appear. For how a private office differs from a desk or a lease, start with our complete guide to private offices. If you already know you want East London, read on.

One boundary note, because it changes the numbers. East London here means the E and IG postcode districts that hold supply: E1, E1W, E2, E8, E14, E15, E20 and IG11. The EC postcodes on the Shoreditch and Aldgate fringe — Liverpool Street, Moorgate, Aldgate proper — are counted as central, and they sit in our guide to office space central london. No building appears in both.

What does office space East London cost per month?

Of the 260 offices with a published monthly price, 188 are takeable now — listed with no move-in date or one that has already passed, and not marked under offer. Across those, the median is £3,490 a month and the range runs from £229 to £148,450.

That spread is not a mistake. It is the difference between a five-square-metre room for one person in Barking and a 1,182-square-metre floor for up to 267 people at 1 St Katharine’s Way. The useful number is not the average — it is the cheapest room that actually fits your team and is free when you need it.

Two things distort a quoted price if you do not check them. Stated capacity is a maximum, not a desk plan: a room listed for eight people is the largest team the operator will put in it, not a promise of eight comfortable desks. And 71 of the 260 priced offices carry a future move-in date, some as far out as 2031, with one more marked under offer — 72 rooms you cannot take today. Tables headed “takeable now” count only the other 188; tables of listed ranges say so in the caption.

One more thing the listings do not settle. The monthly figure is the operator’s own listed price for the room. VAT, service charge, deposit, business rates and any fit-out are agreed with the operator, not published here, and a private office on Wezoo is an enquiry rather than an instant booking — so treat every number below as the opening line of a conversation. For the wider London picture, see how much a private office costs in London.

Team size	Rooms takeable now	Buildings	Cheapest in East London
1–2 people	14	6	£229 — Barking, IG11 8BB listed for up to 1 person, 5 m² / 54 sq ft
3–6 people	71	12	£687 — Barking, IG11 8BB listed for up to 3 people, 9 m² / 97 sq ft
7–10 people	32	8	£1,603 — Barking, IG11 8BB listed for up to 7 people, 20 m² / 215 sq ft

Barking takes all three of those bands, which is the single clearest thing the data says about price in East London. Its ladder stops at twelve people listed and nine takeable today, so it only answers the small end. Above ten the map changes.

Team size	Rooms takeable now	Buildings	Cheapest in East London
11–20 people	37	13	£2,600 — 208 Brick Lane, E1 6SA listed for up to 12 people, 33 m² / 355 sq ft
21 or more people	34	14	£5,900 — 208 Brick Lane, E1 6SA listed for up to 26 people, 74 m² / 797 sq ft

What your exact headcount costs in East London

Because stated capacity is a ceiling, the room that fits a team of eleven is any room listed for eleven or more — which is why a band table can mislead. For each headcount below, this is the cheapest room takeable today that is listed for at least that many people, with the capacity it actually carries.

Your team	Cheapest room that fits	Listed for	Area	m² per person	Buildings that fit
1	£229 — Barking, IG11 8BB	up to 1	5 m² / 54 sq ft	5.0	17
2	£458 — Barking, IG11 8BB	up to 2	6 m² / 65 sq ft	3.0	17
3	£687 — Barking, IG11 8BB	up to 3	9 m² / 97 sq ft	3.0	17
4	£916 — Barking, IG11 8BB	up to 4	12 m² / 129 sq ft	3.0	17
5	£1,145 — Barking, IG11 8BB	up to 5	14 m² / 151 sq ft	2.8	17

Barking answers every headcount to seven, because a flat £229 per desk beats every room-priced building at the small end.

Your team	Cheapest room that fits	Listed for	Area	m² per person	Buildings that fit
6	£1,374 — Barking, IG11 8BB	up to 6	17 m² / 183 sq ft	2.8	16

9	£2,061 — Barking, IG11 8BB	up to 9	23 m² / 248 sq ft	2.6	16
10	£2,600 — 208 Brick Lane, E1 6SA	up to 12	33 m² / 355 sq ft	3.3	15

The switch comes at ten, when 208 Brick Lane’s 12-person office at £2,600 becomes the cheapest room that fits.

Your team	Cheapest room that fits	Listed for	Area	m² per person	Buildings that fit
11	£2,600 — 208 Brick Lane, E1 6SA	up to 12	33 m² / 355 sq ft	3.0	15

15	£4,900 — 27-33 Bethnal Green Road, E1 6LA	up to 16	42 m² / 452 sq ft	2.8	14

From ten to twelve that one room is the answer; at thirteen Sugar House Island takes over, then Bethnal Green Road.

Above sixteen the two Canvas Offices warehouses in E1 hold the floor, and the area per person keeps rising.

A second wrinkle explains why two buildings can quote the same room very differently. Of the 16 East London buildings with more than one priced office, 5 quote a single flat rate per desk — the monthly price is that rate multiplied by the stated capacity, exactly, across 161 offices — while the other 11 price each room on its own merits.

That is an established way of quoting rather than an East London quirk: we ran the same check on every Regus, Spaces and Signature building in Birmingham, Leeds and Manchester the same day, and each one quotes a single flat desk rate there too. Our central London guide works through what it means for a negotiation. The five flat rates here: Barking at Regus, £229 per desk; Sugar House Island at Spaces, £319 per desk; Canary Wharf 1 Canada Square at Signature, £439 per desk; The Conductor at Signature, £505 per desk; Canary Wharf Cabot Square at Spaces, £669 per desk. Where a rate is flat you can price any team size yourself before you enquire.

Minimum term is published for some operators and not others. Regus, Signature, Spaces list a one-month minimum on every East London office; Kitt lists twelve months at Albion Mills; and Canvas Offices, Fora, Runway East, WeWork publish no minimum term at all, as do the three buildings with no unit detail. Where it is not published it is negotiated — ask for it in writing either way.

In office space East London the operator decides the room, not the postcode

Split the 20 buildings by who runs them and the market falls into two halves. Four serviced-office brands — Regus, Signature, Spaces, WeWork — run 7 of the 20 buildings and hold 209 of the 260 priced offices. The other 13 buildings are independents: Canvas Offices, Fora, Kitt, Runway East, plus the three that publish no unit detail. Between them the independents hold 51 priced offices.

The rooms behind those two halves are not the same size. Measured room by room across every office with a published floor area, the serviced brands’ median room is 16.5 square metres and the independents’ is 44 — 2.7 times larger — with median stated capacities of 6 and 16 people. Per stated head the gap is smaller but points the same way: 2.71 square metres against 3.17. Serviced operators subdivide floors into many small suites, most of them under 20 square metres; the independents let between one and nine rooms each, a median of five and a half.

“Serviced brand” here means an operator running a national network of managed centres and quoting by the desk; the rest are independents and single-site operators. The shortcut is useful in the middle of the market: at ordinary team sizes the independents hold the larger rooms. It reverses at the very top — every East London room above 150 square metres but three is run by a serviced brand, and the two WeWork towers hold every room listed for more than 150 people.

One address settles the point better than any average. One Canada Square, E14 5AA, carries two operators: Fora lists 8 offices there with a median of 68 m² for a stated 20 people, and Signature, on the 37th floor of the same tower, lists 33 with a median of 14 m² for 5. Same building, same postcode, same year — and a room five times the size.

Geography tracks the split without explaining it. Six of the seven serviced buildings sit in Docklands, Stratford, the Olympic Park or Barking; nine of the ten priced independents sit in E1. Two cross the line in opposite directions: 1 St Katharine’s Way in Wapping is a WeWork tower on the western side, and One Canada Square is an eight-room Fora building in the middle of Canary Wharf. Read the operator, not the postcode.

The supply totals follow from it. In the City fringe, 13 buildings share 69 listings; in Docklands and beyond, 7 buildings hold 194. Counting only the buildings that publish prices, the western median is 5.5 rooms per building against 30 in the east.

Building	Offices listed	Median room	Median capacity
Albion Mills Kitt, E1 8DN	1	148 m²	24
27-33 Bethnal Green Road Canvas Offices, E1 6LA	2	67 m²	23
189-190 Shoreditch High Street Canvas Offices, E1 6HU	3	16 m²	5
208 Brick Lane Canvas Offices, E1 6SA	3	74 m²	26
Folgate Street Fora, E1 6BX	5	63 m²	22
Montacute Yards Fora, E1 6HU	6	82 m²	28

One Canada Square Fora, E14 5AA	8	68 m²	20
Aldgate East Runway East, E1 1EW	9	39 m²	12

And the seven run by the serviced brands.

Building	Offices listed	Median room	Median capacity
1 St Katharine’s Way WeWork, E1W 1UN	23	18 m²	7
30 Churchill Place WeWork, E14 5RE	25	17 m²	8
Sugar House Island Spaces, E15 2TP	26	15 m²	5
The Conductor Signature, E20 1NW	30	20 m²	7
Canary Wharf 1 Canada Square Signature, E14 5AA	33	14 m²	5

Mapped onto postcodes, the same split shows up as a handful of large districts in the east and a long list of small addresses in the west.

Postcode district	Buildings	Listings	Monthly price range
E1 — Whitechapel, Spitalfields & Brick Lane	9	43	£1,560 – £73,326 (median £6,200)
E1W — Wapping & St Katharine Docks	2	24	£690 – £148,450 (median £4,050)
E2 — Shoreditch & Bethnal Green	1	1	no unit-level pricing published
E8 — Hackney & Dalston	1	1	no unit-level pricing published

Nine of those thirteen western buildings sit in E1 alone, between Aldgate East and Brick Lane. Further east the districts are fewer and the buildings much larger.

Postcode district	Buildings	Listings	Monthly price range
E14 — Canary Wharf & the Isle of Dogs	4	103	£400 – £127,800 (median £4,014)
E15 — Stratford	1	26	£319 – £4,466 (median £1,595)
E20 — Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park	1	30	£505 – £16,665 (median £3,535)
IG11 — Barking	1	35	£229 – £2,748 (median £916)

Three entries publish no price at all. Shoreditch Exchange in E2 and Laundry Studios in E8, both run by Oneder, list private offices without unit-level detail, as does Tobacco Dock in E1W. Each counts as one listing in the tables above because that is all the data says; their real room counts are unknown. That is why the census reads 20 buildings but 17 with a published price.

Eight East London buildings worth a closer look

These eight cover every postcode district with priced supply except E1W, where 1 St Katharine’s Way and Tobacco Dock appear in the full tables further down. Four of them — the three Canvas Offices warehouses and Albion Mills — appear in none of our existing East London district guides. Each entry gives the building’s own numbers, not a market estimate.

208 Brick Lane — The cheapest square metre in E1

Three offices in a converted Brick Lane warehouse, and the pricing is the story. At a building-level median of £79 per square metre a month it is the second-cheapest floor area in East London and the cheapest anywhere in E1 — and it is the cheapest room in the sector for teams of 11 and up, at both ends of that range. All three rooms are takeable now, which is rarer here than it sounds. The largest is listed for up to 40 people in 121 m², which works out at 3.0 m² a head.

189-190 Shoreditch High Street — Shoreditch High Street, five minutes from the Overground

Three offices listed for up to 5, 5 and 30 people, above the shopfronts on Shoreditch High Street. Only the five-person room at £1,600 is takeable now; the other two carry move-in dates in October and December 2026. That is the honest reason to enquire early rather than a sales line.

Book 189-190 Shoreditch High Street on Wezoo →

27-33 Bethnal Green Road — Two large rooms, no small ones

The smaller of the two offices is listed for up to 16 people. That is unusual for East London and it makes 27-33 Bethnal Green Road a straightforward choice for a team that has outgrown a floor of desks and wants the whole room. Both are takeable now.

Book 27-33 Bethnal Green Road on Wezoo →

Albion Mills — One office, one decision

A single 148-square-metre office listed for up to 24 people on East Tenter Street, a five-minute walk from Aldgate East. Kitt is the only operator here publishing a twelve-month minimum term, and at £91 per square metre this is the second-cheapest floor area in E1 after 208 Brick Lane. There is nothing to compare inside the building, which makes the choice a simple yes or no.

Book Albion Mills on Wezoo →

Sugar House Island — Stratford, a flat rate from one to fourteen people

Twenty-six offices listed for 1 to 14 people on a canal-side island between Stratford and Bow. Spaces quotes £319 per desk here and applies it flat across the ladder, so a six-person room costs exactly six times a one-person one — though the cheapest room actually takeable today is the two-person at £638. A median of £116 per square metre puts it below every Canary Wharf building.

Book Sugar House Island on Wezoo →

The Conductor — Olympic Park, on top of the Elizabeth line

Thirty offices at 8 Westfield Avenue, listed for one person up to 33, with Stratford station and the Elizabeth line a few minutes’ walk away. Signature quotes £505 per desk, flat. Four of the thirty carry a future move-in date — one each in 2026, 2027, 2028 and 2029 — so the cheapest room you can take today is £1,515.

Canary Wharf Cabot Square — The most separate sizes under one roof

Thirty-seven offices spanning twenty different stated capacities, from a five-square-metre room for one to a 212-square-metre suite for 72 — more distinct sizes than any other East London building. It is also the dearest floor area in Docklands at a median of £251, and 14 of the 37 are dated rather than immediate.

Barking — The cheapest private office in East London

Thirty-five offices at Jhumat House, and the entry price — £229 a month for one person — is the lowest of any building in this guide. At a median of £76 per square metre it is also the cheapest floor area in the sector. Regus quotes £229 per desk flat across every listed size from one to ten people, plus a twelve-person room. Fifteen of the 35 are dated, and what is takeable today tops out at nine people.

Every office space East London building, compared

All 20 buildings. The £/m² column is a derived figure, not a rate any operator quotes: for each building it is the median of its own takeable rooms’ monthly price divided by that room’s published floor area. Where fewer than two of a building’s rooms are takeable — 189-190 Shoreditch High Street, Albion Mills and Montacute Yards — that column is a single room rather than a median. On access hours the listings carry the same placeholder value for every building, so that column does not exist here — the same value on all 260 priced offices, and nothing at all on the three without unit detail. Ask the operator.

Which East London postcode fits your team?

Start from the size of your team and the search for office space East London narrows quickly, because only a handful of buildings serve each end of the range. All counts below are rooms takeable now.

• One or two people. 14 rooms across 6 buildings, and 12 of those rooms are east in Docklands and beyond. The ladder starts at £229 in Barking, then £400 at 30 Churchill Place, more Barking rooms at £458 and Sugar House Island at £638. In the City fringe, 1 St Katharine’s Way is the only address in this bracket.
• Three to six. The deepest band: 71 rooms in 12 buildings, split 6 west to 6 east — though 55 of the 71 rooms are east. This is where comparing matters most.
• Seven to ten. 32 rooms in 8 buildings, six of them in Docklands and beyond. The cheapest is £1,603 in Barking.

Above ten people the map flips and the City fringe takes over.

• Eleven to twenty. 37 rooms in 13 buildings. 208 Brick Lane opens the band at £2,600 for a room listed up to 12 people.
• Twenty-one and up. 34 rooms in 14 buildings, 9 of them in the City fringe. The three cheapest by floor area are 208 Brick Lane at £79 per m², Albion Mills at £91 and 27-33 Bethnal Green Road at £121, all independents in E1; Canary Wharf still holds the outright largest rooms.

That last band is too wide to be useful on its own, so here is every priced room in East London listed for thirty people or more, takeable now or not.

Every East London office listed for 30 people or more

The bands above stop at “21 and up”, which is no use to a team of forty. These are all 27 priced rooms listed for 30 people or more, room by room, 20 of them takeable now. The square-metres-per-person column is derived by dividing the published floor area by the stated capacity, and that capacity is a ceiling — the lower the figure, the tighter the room will feel once desks and storage are in.

That is the whole thirty-plus market in East London, twenty-seven rooms in eight buildings.

Transport does most of the rest of the work. The Elizabeth line put Stratford and Whitechapel inside twenty minutes of Bond Street, the DLR threads Canary Wharf to the City, and Barking sits on the District, Hammersmith & City and c2c lines. East London’s creative and digital cluster is the reason Shoreditch and Hackney fill up faster than their office counts suggest; the size of that sector nationally is measured in the government’s DCMS sector economic estimates.

When should you choose a private office over a desk in East London?

Take the private office when the room itself is the point: you need to leave equipment out, hold calls without booking anything, or put a name on a door. Take a desk when headcount is still moving. A one-person private office in East London starts at £229 a month at Barking in IG11, though in the E1 and E1W postcodes the only one-person room at all is £690 at 1 St Katharine’s Way; a hot desk is booked by the day with no commitment, and our guide to coworking space east london covers that side of the market building by building.

If you are weighing the same decision elsewhere in the capital, the sector guides to office space central london and coworking space west london run the same census on their own postcodes.

Four things to check before you commit. Ask what the stated capacity assumes, because it is a ceiling and not a layout. Ask what the monthly figure excludes — VAT, service charge, deposit and rates are all settled with the operator. Ask about access hours, lock-up and insurance if you are leaving hardware overnight: the opening-hours field on these listings carries the same placeholder value on every East London building, so it tells you nothing. And ask when the room is actually free: 72 of the 260 priced offices in East London cannot be taken today, with Barking, Canary Wharf Cabot Square and Canary Wharf 1 Canada Square each holding fourteen or fifteen dated rooms.

Frequently asked questions about office space East London

How much is office space East London per month?

Of the 260 private offices with a published monthly price, 188 are takeable now. Across those the median is £3,490 and the range runs from £229 to £148,450. The cheapest one-person room is £229 a month at Regus Barking; the cheapest room listed for twelve people is £2,600 at 208 Brick Lane. VAT, service charge and deposit are agreed with the operator and are not in these figures. Prices were read from live Wezoo listings on 14 September 2026.

Which postcodes count as office space East London?

This guide counts the E and IG districts that hold supply on the London area we queried: E1, E1W, E2, E8, E14, E15, E20 and IG11. The EC postcodes on the Shoreditch and Aldgate fringe — Liverpool Street, Moorgate and Aldgate proper — are treated as central London and covered in the central London guide, so no building appears in both.

Where is the cheapest office space East London?

Regus Barking in IG11, at £229 a month for one person and a building-level median of £76 per square metre. Inside the E postcodes the cheapest floor area is 208 Brick Lane in E1 at £79 per square metre, which is also the cheapest building in the sector for teams of 11 and above. Barking caps out at twelve people, so it only answers the small end.

Can you rent a small private office in East London?

Yes, but the choice is narrower than the building count suggests. 14 rooms takeable now are listed for one or two people, spread across 6 buildings, and 12 of those 14 rooms sit in Docklands and beyond: Barking, Sugar House Island, 30 Churchill Place, Canary Wharf Cabot Square and Canary Wharf 1 Canada Square. In the City fringe, 1 St Katharine’s Way is the only building listing a room that small.

How quickly can you move into an office space East London?

It depends on the room, not the building. Of the 260 priced offices, 188 are takeable now and 72 cannot be taken today — 71 carrying a future move-in date, some into 2027 and beyond, and one marked under offer. Barking, Canary Wharf Cabot Square and Canary Wharf 1 Canada Square each hold fourteen or fifteen dated rooms, so check the specific office rather than the address.

Do these East London offices come with 24-hour access?

The listings do not settle it. Wezoo’s private-office data publishes price, floor area, stated capacity, move-in date and building facilities; the opening-hours field carries the same placeholder value on every East London building, so it tells you nothing about access, lock-up or security. If your team needs overnight access or wants to leave hardware in the room, put that question to the operator before you sign.

Which East London offices are big enough for 30 or more people?

27 priced rooms are listed for 30 people or more, 20 of them takeable now, across buildings in E1, E1W, E14 and E20. They are tabled room by room above, with floor area and square metres per stated person. The cheapest is 208 Brick Lane at £8,500 a month for a room listed up to 40 people in 121 m²; the largest is 30 Churchill Place at 1,433 m² listed up to 420.
