Top Flexible Office Providers in the UK

Date Published: 10 July 2025 | By Mike Andrews, Commercial Property Journalist, Serviced Office Portal

After years of covering workspace trends, I’ve seen how dramatically the commercial office scene has evolved. Today, flexible office spaces aren’t just convenient—they’re strategic. If you’re navigating the landscape, wondering who to trust, here’s my honest breakdown of the top flexible office providers in the UK.

1. WeWork

Pros: Incredible design, ideal for startups and creatives, prime city locations, well-equipped amenities, great global access.
Cons: Pricing can be high, especially for smaller teams; inconsistent service reports across locations.

2. Regus

Pros: Huge footprint across the UK, particularly strong in suburban and smaller markets. Versatile for corporates and consultants.
Cons: Office design can feel dated. Some users report inconsistent reception and admin experiences.

3. The Office Group (TOG)

Pros: Beautiful, high-end interiors; ideal for SMEs and design-conscious professionals. Good sustainability focus.
Cons: Premium experience = premium price. Limited locations outside major cities.

4. Workspace Group

Pros: Tailored more for growing SMEs; offers customisable spaces; strong community feel.
Cons: Some flexibility sacrificed for semi-traditional setups. London-focused.

5. Huckletree

Pros: Ideal for tech and impact-driven startups. Vibrant culture, themed work zones, and wellness support.
Cons: Locations are niche; smaller network than bigger players.

6. Fora

Pros: Upscale atmosphere, curated events, concierge services. Perfect for client-facing businesses.
Cons: Not ideal for budget-conscious users. Mostly London-based.

7. Spaces (by Regus)

Pros: More modern than Regus core offices, geared toward collaboration and modern design.
Cons: Pricing not always transparent; reviews note noise issues in open-plan areas.

Why Flexible Beats Traditional

Unlike traditional offices that lock you into multi-year leases and expect you to install your own meeting rooms and break areas, flexible providers like these offer immediate access to everything—desks, lounges, call booths and more. Meeting rooms are typically charged by the hour, which is far more cost-effective if you only use them occasionally.
