The 2025 Private Office Suite Pricing Guide – UK And London Benchmarks For Flexible Workspaces

If you’re trying to budget for a private office suite in 2025, you’ve probably hit the same wall as everyone else: lots of glossy photos, very few clear numbers.

This guide is designed to fix that.

We’ll walk through how flexible private office suites are priced in the UK, what’s usually included (and what isn’t), and what “normal” looks like for London vs the rest of the country. You’ll also see worked examples for different team sizes, plus how eOffice approaches pricing in central London.

All figures here are indicative market benchmarks as of late 2025, based on UK flex-space research and live price guides. Always get a tailored quote before you sign anything.


What Counts As A Private Office Suite In A Flexible Workspace

When we talk about private office suites in flexible workspaces, we mean:

  • fully enclosed, lockable office for your team
  • In a larger serviced or coworking building
  • Furnished and ready to use (desks, chairs, storage)
  • With shared access to kitchens, lounges, meeting rooms and other amenities
  • On a flexible licence (typically 1–24 months, not a 5–10 year lease)

It’s different from:

  • Hot-desking: pay per desk, usually in a shared open-plan area
  • Dedicated desks: a fixed desk in shared space but not a private room
  • Traditional leased space: you fit out and manage the whole office yourself, on a long lease, and pay separate bills for everything

Private office suites sit in the sweet spot for teams who want privacy, brandable space and stability – without long leases or capex.


How Private Office Suites Are Priced Per-desk Per-office Per-day

Flexible providers all talk about pricing slightly differently, but they’re usually using one of three lenses.

1. Per-office (A Single Monthly Licence Fee)

This is common for suites above ~8 people.

You’ll see something like:

“Private office for 8–10 people – from £4,000/month (all-inclusive, excl. VAT).”

For example, at eOffice’s Unit Spaces London Islington, private office space for 8–10 people is advertised from £4,000 per month, including utilities and internet. (Source: eOffice – Unit Spaces London Islington)

Behind the scenes, the operator has a per-desk target, but they bundle it into one simple figure for the suite.

2. Per-desk (Price Per Person Per Month)

Per-desk pricing is popular because it’s easy to compare.

A typical flexible quote might say:

  • “10-desk office – £5,000 + VAT per month”
  • Or “£500 + VAT per desk per month”

Industry guides for 2025 use exactly this kind of example to explain flexible pricing: a single monthly fee that covers the space plus services, either expressed as one office price or per-desk. (Source: Tally Workspace – Office Pricing Guide)

You can always convert between the two:

  • £4,000/month for 8 people → £500 per desk
  • £7,500/month for 15 people → £500 per desk

3. Per-day Or Part-time Offices

Some flexible providers now offer day offices or part-time suites. You pay per person, per day when you bring the team in.

For example, eOffice’s Holborn day office product lists:

  • Coworking space up to 50 people from £44.99 per person per day
  • Private office space for 10–50 people from £49.99 per person per day
  • 9am–6pm access, fully furnished, with Wi‑Fi and shared kitchen/breakout included (prices ex. VAT). (Source: eOffice – Day Office Holborn)

This model works well for remote-first teams who only need a private suite once a week or a few days a month.


What’s Typically Included In Your Monthly Private Office Fee

One of the big benefits of flexible private suites is that most of the usual office costs are bundled into a single bill.

Across UK flexible providers, a private office suite price will usually include:

  • Rent for the space
  • Business rates
  • Service charge and building management
  • Utilities – electricity, heating, cooling, water
  • High-speed internet (Wi‑Fi and/or wired)
  • Furniture – desks, ergonomic chairs, storage
  • Cleaning and waste removal
  • Access to shared kitchens with tea, coffee and water
  • Use of shared breakout areas and lounges
  • Basic on-site support – reception, mail handling, deliveries

Flexible office pricing guides consistently describe the model as “all-inclusive”: one monthly fee covering rent, rates, utilities, Wi‑Fi, furniture and cleaning, with meeting rooms handled separately via credits or pay-as-you-go. (Source: Tally Workspace – Office Pricing Guide)

At eOffice’s central London locations (Soho, Soho HQ, Strand, Holborn and Mayfair), private offices are fully furnished, lockable and provided on flexible contracts with service charges included, 24/7 access, and shared meeting rooms and breakout spaces on site. (Source: eOffice – London Soho HQ)


Common Extras And Hidden Costs To Watch For

“All-inclusive” doesn’t mean absolutely everything. When you’re comparing private office suite quotes, pay attention to:

  • VAT – almost all quoted prices are exclusive of VAT (20%), including at eOffice. (Source: eOffice – Day Office Holborn)
  • Meeting rooms – you might get a monthly credit bundle; beyond that, rooms are often charged by the hour
  • Printing and copying – usually pay-as-you-go
  • Telephony – direct dial numbers and handsets can be extra
  • Registered office / virtual office services – sometimes a separate fee
  • Storage – extra lockers, filing cabinets or bike storage
  • Parking – if available at all, typically charged separately
  • Fit-out changes – moving walls, custom branding, extra furniture
  • Overtime use – some buildings may charge for air-con or cleaning outside standard hours (less common in modern flex spaces, but worth checking)

Also ask about deposits and notice periods:

  • 1–3 months’ licence deposit is typical
  • Notice periods of 1–3 months are common on rolling contracts

Clarifying all of this up front is the easiest way to avoid surprises later.


2025 Benchmarks What Private Office Suites Cost In London Vs The Rest Of The UK

Let’s talk numbers. These ranges are for flexible private office suites, per person, per month, typically on all‑inclusive terms and excluding VAT.

UK-wide Medians

Rubberdesk’s 2025 UK Office Space Price Guide, based on thousands of live listings, puts the median price for a desk in a private flexible office at around £485 per month across the UK, with coworking desks averaging about £250 per month. (Source: Rubberdesk – UK Office Space Price Guide)

That’s the “middle of the market” benchmark – half of spaces cost less than this, half cost more.

London Vs Regional Benchmarks

A major London broker summarises all-inclusive private serviced office prices roughly as:

  • Central London: from £450 to £1,500 per person per month
  • Greater London: from £300 to £650 per person per month
  • Rest of the UK: from £200 to £450 per person per month
    (Source: FreeOfficeFinder – Serviced Offices London)

Rubberdesk’s regional breakdowns for late 2025 show a similar pattern:

  • Small private offices in Central London commonly sit in the mid‑£600s per desk per month, with prime buildings going above £900
  • In West and East London, medians for small suites are often in the low £400s per desk
  • In Manchester, the median flexible office desk rate is about £400 per person per month, with coworking desks around £200 (Source: Rubberdesk – Manchester Office Price Guide)
  • In cities like Edinburgh, median flexible desk rates are closer to the high £200s to low £300s per person per month (Source: Rubberdesk – Scotland Office Space Price Guide)

Putting this together, a reasonable 2025 rule-of-thumb for private office suites is:

AreaTypical per-desk monthly range for private office suites (ex. VAT)
Central London (Zone 1) – City, West End, Soho, Shoreditch£600–£1,100+
Greater London (Zone 2–4) – e.g. Islington, Hammersmith, Camden£350–£750
Major regional cities – Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol, Leeds, Edinburgh, Glasgow£250–£450
Smaller cities & towns£200–£350

You’ll find deals below these ranges (especially in secondary locations or with promotions) and premium spaces above them (top-tier buildings, very small suites in trophy locations).


Example Price Scenarios For Different Team Sizes

To make this more concrete, here are a few illustrative scenarios using 2025 benchmarks. These are not quotes, but they’re realistic ballparks.

1–2 People In A Private Suite In Central London

If you’re a solo founder or 2-person team who wants a private office rather than desks in shared space, you’re paying a privacy premium.

  • Assume £700–£900 per desk per month in a well-located Zone 1 flexible workspace
  • A 2-person private office might therefore sit around £1,400–£1,800 + VAT per month

You might bring that down by:

10-person Team In Central London

For a 10-desk private suite in Holborn, Soho or Mayfair, typical 2025 market benchmarks look like:

  • £600–£800 per person per month in a quality flexible space
  • Total monthly fee of around £6,000–£8,000 + VAT

Tally Workspace’s 2025 pricing guide uses £5,000/month as a simple example for a 10-desk flexible office (i.e. £500/desk), which would be at the keener end of central London pricing and more representative of good deals or slightly less prime locations. (Source: Tally Workspace – Office Pricing Guide)

10-person Team In Manchester Or Another Major Regional City

Using Manchester’s Q4 2025 median desk rate of £400 per person per month as a guide, a 10-person private suite there would typically run around £4,000 + VAT per month. (Source: Rubberdesk – Manchester Office Price Guide)

That’s often 25–40% cheaper than an equivalent spec in central London.

8–10 People In Greater London (E.g. Islington)

At eOffice’s Unit Spaces London Islington, private offices for 8–10 people start from £4,000/month (ex. VAT). (Source: eOffice – Unit Spaces London Islington)

That equates roughly to:

  • £400–£500 per desk per month, depending on whether you’re 8 or 10 people
  • With furniture, utilities and internet already included

It’s a good illustration of Greater London pricing sitting between central London and regional city medians.

Remote-first Team Using A Private Suite Part-time

Say you’re a 12-person remote-first company that wants to bring everyone together one day a week in central London.

Using eOffice’s Holborn day office pricing as a reference:

  • £49.99 per person per day for a private office for 10–50 people (ex. VAT) (Source: eOffice – Day Office Holborn)
  • 12 people on site once a week → roughly £600 per day + VAT
  • 4 days a month → around £2,400 + VAT per month

Compared with a full-time 12-desk suite at, say, £650 per desk (£7,800/month), this kind of “pay for presence, not empty chairs” model can cut your space spend dramatically.


Monthly Vs Annual Vs Part-time Contracts – How They Move The Price

Most flexible private office suites are priced and billed monthly, but the term you commit to still matters.

In practice, many operators will:

  • Hold list prices for 6–12 month terms
  • Offer discounts or extra incentives (e.g. 1–3 months rent-free) for 12-month+ commitments, especially in competitive markets (Source: Rubberdesk – Manchester Office Price Guide)
  • Charge a premium for very short commitments (e.g. 1–3 months) or highly bespoke space

Part-time options – such as day offices or limited weekly use – flip the model entirely. Your per-day, per-desk cost is higher, but your overall monthly spend can be much lower if you only bring the team together occasionally.


How To Compare Private Office Suite Quotes Like-for-like

When you’re shortlisting options (especially in London, where choice is overwhelming), use a simple checklist:

  1. Normalise everything to “per person, per month (ex. VAT)”
    Whether the quote is “£X per desk” or “£Y for the office”, convert it into a per-person monthly figure so you can compare.
  2. List what’s actually included
    Tick off rent, rates, service charge, utilities, Wi‑Fi, furniture, cleaning, reception, and tea/coffee. If something isn’t mentioned, ask.
  3. Clarify meeting room access
    • How many hours per month are included (if any)?
    • What are the hourly rates beyond that?
  4. Check the term, deposit and notice
    • Minimum commitment in months
    • Deposit amount
    • Notice period to upsize, downsize or exit
  5. Probe for one-off fees
    • Setup or onboarding fees
    • Re-instatement costs at exit
    • Card/fob charges, parking passes, etc.
  6. Factor in location value
    A premium Zone 1 address might cost more per desk, but save your team time and commuting cost – and make a stronger impression on clients.

Doing this side-by-side makes it much easier to see which private office suite is genuinely best value, not just the cheapest headline price.


How eOffice Approaches Private Office Suite Pricing

Since 2002, eOffice has focused on flexible, design-led workspaces in central London, with locations in Holborn, Mayfair, Soho, Soho HQ, Strand and Islington. (Source: eOffice – Flexible Private Offices for Startups and Scaleups)

A few principles shape how private office suite pricing works here:

  • Transparent, all-inclusive packages
    Private offices are fully furnished, with utilities, high-speed internet and service charges included as standard, plus access to shared kitchens, lounges and meeting rooms.
  • Flexible terms that move with your team
    Contracts are designed to evolve with your headcount – from 1–2 desks through to full floors for 50+ people – rather than locking you into a static five-year lease. (Source: eOffice – London Soho HQ)
  • Options for every stage of growth
    From day offices in Holborn for bringing the team together occasionally, to private suites in Soho and Mayfair for established HQs, and larger managed floors in Islington for 20–100 people. (Source: eOffice – Day Office HolborneOffice – Unit Spaces London Islington)
  • A focus on people and impact
    As a Certified B Corporation, eOffice balances profit with purpose, with a focus on social and environmental responsibility alongside great workspace. (Source: eOffice – About)

Rather than publishing a rigid, generic price list for every private office suite, eOffice tends to show “from” prices for certain headcounts and locations, then builds a clear, line-by-line quote based on:

  • Your team size and layout
  • Your preferred building and floor
  • How often you’ll use meeting rooms and event spaces
  • Your target move-in date and commitment length

Next Steps Get A Clear Tailored Quote

If you’d like real numbers rather than benchmarks, the quickest next steps are:

  1. Check live availability in Holborn, Soho, Mayfair, Strand and Islington on the eOffice availability page. (Source: eOffice – Office Availability)
  2. Shortlist 1–3 private office suites that match your team size and location preferences.
  3. Request a quote or book a tour directly from the workspace pages – you’ll get transparent, all-inclusive monthly pricing and can see exactly what’s included.
  4. Bring this guide’s checklist with you, so you can compare offers like-for-like and negotiate around what matters most (term length, meeting room access, or overall budget).

Whether you’re a startup founder, an established London business, or a facilities manager planning a 2025 move, a well-priced private office suite should feel simple, predictable and aligned with how your team actually works. If you’d like help sense-checking budgets or options, the eOffice team is happy to talk it through.
