If you are searching for office space Medway has a shorter list than the map suggests, and it is worth knowing that before you start viewing. Wezoo lists three private office buildings across the whole of Medway, and all three of them stand in Chatham. For the national picture, our complete guide to private office in the UK covers how serviced terms work across 898 locations.
This office space Medway guide covers all three. You get the published monthly price for each building, the room sizes and capacities on offer, how far each one sits from parking and the station, and a plain answer to the question most Medway searchers actually have: is there anything outside Chatham? There is not. For an overview of every option, see the full list of private offices in Medway.

What does office space Medway cost?
The cheapest listed room is £175 per month and the most expensive is £2,945 per month. Those two numbers sit at opposite ends of the same small market: the first is a single desk room of 4 square metres at Dockside Chatham Maritime, the second is a 50 square metre suite listed for up to nineteen people at the Pentagon. Everything Wezoo lists in Medway falls between them.
Every one of the 29 priced rooms is a serviced office, and every one of them lists a minimum term of one month. That is the part worth holding on to. A serviced room is let on a rolling monthly licence with reception, cleaning, utilities and internet bundled into the fee, so there is no fit out to fund and no multi year lease to sign. None of the three buildings lists a conventional lease, so there is no separate rent plus service charge calculation to make here.
Office space Medway prices are quoted as a starting figure. The published number is the floor for that room type, and the final figure depends on which suite you take and how long you commit. Business rates may apply on top for a self contained office.
When should you choose a private office over a hot desk?
Choose the private office when the room has to be yours: when you leave equipment out, take calls that should not be overheard, or need somewhere a client can be shown into. The office space Medway entry point for a room of your own is £175 per month, and it comes with a lockable door and a fixed address.
Choose a desk instead when none of that matters yet. Two of the three buildings, Dockside Chatham Maritime and the Pentagon, also list hot desks at £33 per day, and our guide to coworking space Chatham covers how those work. One person, three days a week, no equipment to leave behind: a desk is the cheaper answer and you are not committing to a month.
There is a third case that neither product solves. Some searchers do not want a room at all, only a credible address and someone to pick up the phone. That is a virtual office, and our virtual office Medway guide covers the three addresses available here, while our guide to a call answering service explains the phone side on its own.
All 3 office space Medway options on Wezoo
The three office space Medway options below are ordered by the smallest room each building publishes, not ranked. With three buildings in one town, a ranking would be a decoration. Two of them, the Pentagon and Dockside Chatham Maritime, also appear in our office space Chatham guide. The third, Maritime Way, does not.
1. Dockside Chatham Maritime, Chatham Maritime
Dockside Chatham Maritime by HQ, Chatham Maritime
This is the widest range in Medway and the only building that lists a room for a single person. Twelve room configurations are published, from a 4 square metre single room at £175 per month up to a 32 square metre suite listed for twelve people at £2,100 per month. In between sit rooms for three, four, five, six, seven and nine people, some internal and some with a window.
What to expect: a unit inside the Dockside Outlet Shopping Centre on the regenerated waterfront, with retail and food on the same site. The listing carries catering and nearby public parking, and the closest car park on record sits 338 metres from the door. There is no train station recorded in the listing’s nearby points, so this is a building you drive to.
Operator: HQ. Every room here lists a one month minimum term. Request Dockside Chatham Maritime on Wezoo
2. Maritime Way, Chatham Maritime
Maritime Way by Humanly, Chatham Maritime
Maritime Way is the address the Chatham guide does not carry, and it is the reason this article exists. Eight room configurations are published, from a 9 square metre room for three people at £705 per month to a 19 square metre room for seven at £1,645 per month, with four and five person rooms filling the middle. It is a small team building rather than a solo one.
What to expect: units 84 to 80 of the same Dockside Outlet Shopping Centre, under the ME4 3ED postcode. It sits about 96 metres from Dockside Chatham Maritime, which makes the two of them a genuine pair rather than two separate options: if one has nothing in your size, the other is a two minute stroll across the complex. The nearest car park on record is 132 metres away, the closest of any Medway listing.
Operator: Humanly, and the same Dockside address also appears on Wezoo under Regus, so you may see Maritime Way twice when you search. Request Maritime Way on Wezoo
3. Pentagon, Chatham town centre
Pentagon by Regus, Chatham town centre
The Pentagon carries the largest rooms in Medway and the only ones built for a full department. Nine configurations run from a 13 square metre room for five people at £775 per month to a 50 square metre suite listed for nineteen people at £2,945 per month, with six, seven, eight, nine and thirteen person rooms between them. Nothing here is listed for fewer than five.
What to expect: offices inside the Pentagon Shopping Centre in the middle of Chatham, with shops and food downstairs. Chatham railway station is 1,115 metres away on foot, the only one of the three buildings with a station in its nearby points, and the Town Hall Car Park is 471 metres from the door. Breakout space, catering and nearby public parking are all listed.
Operator: Regus. Every room lists a one month minimum term, the same as the other two. Request Pentagon on Wezoo
How to choose, and how far ahead to request
Requesting office space Medway starts with a conversation, not a checkout. You send an enquiry, the operator comes back with what is actually free in your size, you look at it, and you sign. That is slower than booking a desk and it is the reason to start before you need the room rather than the week you move.
Published capacities are ceilings, not recommendations. A room listed for seven people holds seven at a squeeze, so if your team is seven, look at the rooms listed for eight or nine as well. The size in square metres is the more honest guide.
- Decide your headcount, then look one capacity band above it.
- Pick your side of Chatham: the waterfront at ME4 3ED, or the town centre at ME4 4HW near the station.
- Send enquiries to more than one building. With three in the whole area, a single enquiry is a thin shortlist.
-
Ask what the monthly figure includes before you compare it to the other two.
Which part of Medway should you choose?
Medway is a unitary authority area in the ceremonial county of Kent, administered by Medway Council independently of Kent County Council, and it contains the towns of Chatham, Gillingham, Rochester, Strood and Rainham. Medway is five towns. Every private office on Wezoo is in one of them.
That leaves a choice of two settings rather than five towns. Chatham Maritime, under ME4 3ED, holds two of the three buildings on the site of the naval dockyard that closed in March 1984 and was partly redeveloped for business use. It is newer stock, easier parking, no station in walking range. Chatham town centre, under ME4 4HW, holds the Pentagon, with the railway station just over a kilometre away and the buses and shops on the doorstep.
If you need Rochester, Gillingham, Strood or Rainham specifically, Wezoo has nothing to show you there, and the honest answer is that Chatham is your Medway option. If the address matters more than the room, the virtual office Medway guide covers the same three buildings as registered addresses instead.

Office Space Medway: frequently asked questions
How many private offices does Wezoo list in Medway?
Three buildings, holding 29 priced rooms between them. All three are in Chatham: Dockside Chatham Maritime and Maritime Way at Chatham Maritime, and the Pentagon in the town centre.
How much is office space Medway?
From £175 per month for a single person room up to £2,945 per month for a suite listed for nineteen. These are all inclusive monthly licence fees rather than rent plus service charge, and every figure is a starting price.
Are there private offices in Rochester, Gillingham or Strood?
Not on Wezoo. Every private office listed in the Medway area sits in Chatham, so a search centred on one of the other four towns will send you there.
What is the shortest term I can take?
One month. All 29 priced rooms across the three buildings list a one month minimum, so none of them requires a long commercial lease.
Can I book a private office online?
No. A private office is requested rather than booked: you send an enquiry and the operator confirms what is free. Hot desks and day offices at these same buildings can be booked directly.
Why does Maritime Way appear twice?
Two operators list workspace at the same Dockside address, Humanly and Regus, so the building shows up under both names. It is one building on one postcode, not two locations.
The bottom line on office space Medway
Three buildings, one town, and two of them 96 metres apart. The office space Medway market is small, but it is a legible one: a single desk room from £175, small team rooms at Maritime Way, and the only large suites at the Pentagon. Start with the size you need, look one band above it, and send more than one enquiry.
