The right office space changes how your team works. If you are searching for office space Nottingham, you have three credible buildings to choose between — a canalside HQ in Castle Meadow, a refurbished gateway block in Basford, and an air-side suite at East Midlands Airport. This guide compares all three on price model, commute, and what you actually get on the floor.
Every location below is bookable through Wezoo. We do not own offices; we aggregate them. That means one enquiry, one comparison view, and operators (Regus, HQ) competing for your business instead of the other way round. For wider context, our complete guide to private office covers contract types, deposit norms, and how to negotiate.

What does office space Nottingham cost?
Office space Nottingham rates are not published online by operators because pricing depends on three variables: desk count, contract length, and which services you bundle in (meeting room hours, reception cover, parking). For a 4-person managed suite in Castle Meadow, expect quotes in the £400–£800 per desk per month range; airport and out-of-town locations typically come in lower. Wezoo sends your brief to all three operators at once so you compare like-for-like instead of chasing replies.

Three Office Space Nottingham Options Worth Booking
Three locations. Three commute patterns. One platform to compare them.
1. Lock House — Castle Meadow, City Centre
Lock House sits on Castle Meadow Road in the city centre business district, a six-minute walk from Nottingham Station and directly across from the Castle. Operated by Regus, the building has been retrofitted with breakout spaces, an in-house lounge, on-site catering, and wheelchair access throughout. Parking is on the doorstep — a rare combination for a central Nottingham address.
This location suits client-facing teams. Castle Meadow puts you within walking distance of Nottingham Crown Court, the Inland Revenue regional office, and most professional services firms. If you bring clients in by train, you can collect them at the station and be in your meeting room in under ten minutes.
Best for: Solicitors, consultants, regional account teams who need a central address.
Operator: Regus · Amenities: Catering, lounge, breakout spaces, parking, public transport · Access: Wheelchair accessible
2. Sovereign House — Basford, North Nottingham
Sovereign House on Nottingham Road in Basford gives you a north-of-city address with easy A610 and Ring Road access — useful if your team commutes from Derby, Mansfield, or Eastwood and you want to avoid central parking. Operated by HQ (an IWG brand), the building keeps services lean and rates competitive: catering on site, parking next door, and a no-frills fit-out aimed at growing companies that want a clean professional setting without paying city-centre rents.
Basford itself is undergoing regeneration. The tram extension and improved Nottingham Road corridor have made the area more attractive for businesses that prioritise commute over prestige.
Best for: Growing SMEs, logistics-adjacent teams, anyone commuting in from the M1.
Operator: HQ · Amenities: Catering, on-site parking

3. East Midlands Airport — Regus House
If your team flies regularly or you serve Midlands clients across Nottingham, Derby and Leicester, the East Midlands Airport location collapses three commutes into one. Regus House sits inside the airport campus with direct A453 / M1 access, on-site parking, and an airside lounge atmosphere that clients tend to remember. Amenities are the broadest of the three: coffee-and-tea bar, breakout spaces, lounge, catering, and wheelchair access.
The trade-off is the city-centre walk — you don’t get one. But for a regional sales head, an aviation supplier, or a freight-and-logistics manager, the time saved on every meeting outweighs the postcode.
Best for: Regional sales teams, aviation and logistics, frequent flyers.
Operator: Regus · Amenities: Coffee bar, lounge, catering, breakout spaces, public transport · Access: Wheelchair accessible

When should you choose a private office over a serviced office?
The labels overlap, but the contract terms differ. A private office is the physical product — a lockable room or suite for your team only. A serviced office is the contract layer — all-inclusive monthly rent covering rent, business rates, utilities, cleaning, reception, and meeting-room credits. Most Nottingham listings on Wezoo are both: a private office sold on a serviced contract. For a deeper breakdown, see our piece on serviced office nottingham and the dedicated private office nottingham guide.
If you only need a permanent address two or three days a week, look at coworking and day offices instead. If you need to host clients in your own meeting room and want full brand presence, private serviced is the right call.
What amenities matter most for office space Nottingham?
Specificity sells space. Here is what to confirm before signing:
- Parking — Castle Meadow has it; central Nottingham more widely does not. Confirm spaces in the contract, not “nearby”.
- Meeting room credits — Most serviced contracts include a monthly allowance. Get it in writing and check overflow pricing.
- Tram & train links — Lock House and East Midlands Airport both score well. Sovereign House depends on the Basford tram stop and bus 70/71 reliability.
- Out-of-hours access — 24/7 access is usually standard but worth confirming for evening client work.
- Break clauses — Standard Regus and HQ contracts run 12-24 months. Negotiate a 6-month break if your headcount is volatile.

How far in advance should you book office space Nottingham?
Two weeks is the practical minimum for office space Nottingham. The three operators above hold viewings within 48 hours of enquiry, but contract paperwork, deposit, and IT setup typically add 7-10 working days. For move-in dates that are non-negotiable — a lease ending, a funding round closing — start the enquiry six weeks out.

Frequently asked questions
How many private office buildings does Wezoo list in Nottingham?
Wezoo currently lists three vetted private office locations in Nottingham — Lock House (Regus, Castle Meadow), Sovereign House (HQ, Basford), and East Midlands Airport (Regus). Each is bookable as a managed suite for teams of 2-30+.
Is there a published monthly price for office space Nottingham?
No. Private and serviced office operators quote per requirement because the price depends on desk count, contract length, and bundled services. Wezoo collects your brief and sends it to all relevant operators at once so you compare quotes side by side.
Which Nottingham office location is best for clients arriving by train?
Lock House on Castle Meadow Road. It is a six-minute walk from Nottingham Station and within the legal and professional services quarter, so client meetings can run back-to-back without taxis.
Can I rent office space Nottingham short-term?
Yes. Most operators here will write 6-month contracts, and some will offer a 3-month rolling option with notice. Book the building. Pay for the office that fits.
What is the difference between a private office and a coworking desk?
A private office is a lockable room or suite for your team only. A coworking desk is a seat in a shared open-plan area used by multiple companies. Private offices suit teams that need confidentiality, branding, and full IT setup; coworking suits solo founders and hybrid workers.
Do these Nottingham offices include meeting rooms?
All three include access to on-site meeting rooms, usually via a monthly credit allowance built into the contract. Overflow hours are charged per hour and you can also book ad-hoc rooms through Wezoo without a contract.
How long is the typical contract for office space Nottingham?
Standard Regus and HQ contracts run 12 or 24 months. Negotiate a 6-month break clause if headcount is volatile, and check whether the deposit is refundable against the final month’s rent.
