In short: Office costs vary enormously by location and quality: prime West End and City offices cost far more per square foot than older space in outer areas or fringe districts. On top of rent, budget for business rates (often a large share of rent), service charge, utilities, insurance, cleaning and fit-out. Serviced offices bundle most costs into a price per desk per month. Compare the total cost per desk, not just rent.
