Hybrid work has turned “the office” into something you visit a few days a week – not somewhere you sit five days on repeat. In early 2025, around 28% of working adults in Great Britain were already working in a hybrid pattern, and that share keeps rising. (Source: Office for National Statistics)
If you’re running a small team and hunting for a part‑time office in central London with easy transport links, the question isn’t just how many days you need. It’s where you land: which station, which business district, and how simple you can make the journey for both your team and your clients.
This guide walks through how to use eOffice’s central London locations as a part‑time base, organised around major stations and business districts – with a focus on client access, step‑free routes, meeting rooms and nearby amenities.
“Part‑time office” can mean a few different things, depending on how your team works:
At eOffice, you can mix and match all of these:
The result: you can run a flexible, part‑time office schedule in prime central London without paying for empty desks all week.
In surveys of UK workers, commuting costs and overall location convenience are consistently cited as major reasons people choose whether to come into the office on hybrid days. (Source: eOffice – Transport‑Linked Hybrid Workspace Guide)
For a small team, that boils down to three questions:
Central London can feel overwhelming, so below is a practical way to think about it: hub by hub.
| Hub / District | Closest eOffice base | Nearest major stations | Best for part‑time use |
|---|---|---|---|
| West End – Soho & Fitzrovia | Soho HQ & Fitzrovia | Tottenham Court Road, Oxford Circus, Bond Street | Teams who want a central part‑time office near key Tube and Elizabeth line links, with step‑free routes and lots of client‑friendly cafes and venues. |
| Midtown – Holborn & Legal Quarter | Holborn | Holborn, Chancery Lane | Professional services and legal teams who split time between court, client sites and the office. |
| Mayfair & Oxford Street | Mayfair & Soho | Bond Street, Oxford Circus | Finance, luxury, media and retail businesses needing a West End address that’s easy from Heathrow and the City. |
| Strand & Embankment | Strand | Embankment, Charing Cross, Covent Garden | Agencies and organisations working with government, media, culture or NGOs. |
| Islington & North London | Unit Spaces Islington (eOffice partner) | Highbury & Islington | Teams with staff coming in via the Victoria line, Overground and North London rail links. (Source: eOffice – Flexible Office Solutions in London) |
Let’s dig into each.
If your team or clients pour through Tottenham Court Road, Oxford Circus or Bond Street, this is your natural base.
At Soho HQ, you can:
Through selected workspace partners, Soho HQ also appears as a dedicated part‑time office where you can take a private office 1–3 days per week and leave equipment such as monitors in place between visits – a neat fit if you want “your own” space without a full‑time lease.

Fitzrovia adds another option if your team prefers a creative, gallery‑lined neighbourhood. Hotdesking memberships there start from around £179.99 per month, giving you a flexible base you can use alongside home working. (Source: eOffice – Hotdesk in Fitzrovia)
A West End / Soho / Fitzrovia base is ideal if you:
If your work pulls you between the West End, the legal quarter and the City, a Midtown base keeps journeys short in all directions.
eOffice Holborn (Lincoln House, High Holborn) sits where the West End meets the City, a short walk from Holborn and Chancery Lane Underground stations. (Source: eOffice – Holborn, London; eOffice – Flexible Office Solutions in London)
For hybrid teams, that means:
At Holborn you can:
This hub is particularly strong if you’re searching for part‑time office space in business districts with an easy commute for both City and West End staff.
Need a prestigious West End address that still works for hybrid commutes and airport runs? The Mayfair / Oxford Street cluster connects straight into Elizabeth line, Jubilee and Central line services.
eOffice Mayfair (299 Oxford Street) is moments from the new Bond Street Elizabeth line entrance and within a very short walk of Bond Street and Oxford Circus Underground stations. (Source: eOffice – Mayfair, London)
Bond Street’s Elizabeth line station is a Category A step‑free station with level access to Elizabeth line platforms, which makes it significantly easier for passengers with mobility needs, luggage or buggies. (Source: GWR – Bond Street (Elizabeth line) Station)
From here, a part‑time office schedule might look like:
This hub naturally targets searches like flexible part‑time office space close to major train stations and part‑time office space for rent near major business hubs, especially for finance, retail and media.
If your clients sit in Westminster, the Strand, Covent Garden or along the South Bank, a base on the Strand keeps you close.
eOffice Strand (60 Strand, WC2N 5LR) is on the second floor of a period building just a few minutes’ walk from Covent Garden, with Embankment and Charing Cross stations on the doorstep. (Source: eOffice – London Strand)
The space is designed as a fully managed, design‑led office that can host up to around 60 people, with meeting rooms and conference facilities for up to 30. (Source: eOffice – London Strand)
A Strand‑based part‑time office works well if you:
You can use day passes and on‑demand meeting rooms here for quarterly reviews, campaign launches or stakeholder workshops, and combine them with a more regular base in Soho, Holborn or Mayfair.
For teams with people coming in from North London, Hertfordshire or beyond, locating slightly north of the traditional West End can cut journey times.
Unit Spaces Islington (12 Swan Yard, N1) is part of the wider eOffice network and sits just off Upper Street, a one‑minute walk from Highbury & Islington station. This connects the Victoria line, London Overground and mainline rail, making it a practical choice if your staff travel in from multiple directions.

Location convenience isn’t just about minutes on a Tube map. For many teams, step‑free routes, cycling options and parking are equally important.
If step‑free access is non‑negotiable, one practical strategy is to route people to Tottenham Court Road or Bond Street and then keep walks to the office short – exactly what Soho HQ and Fitzrovia are built around.
Across its London locations, eOffice focuses on central, public‑transport‑linked buildings and often includes bike storage, showers, and break‑out areas, making cycling and walking more attractive. (Source: eOffice – Day Office Holborn; eOffice – London Soho HQ)
At Soho HQ, third‑party listings and eOffice’s own information highlight that the building offers parking space alongside bike storage, giving rare flexibility for those who need to drive into central London on some days while still being moments from Tottenham Court Road station on others. (Source: eOffice – London Soho HQ; Hubble – eOffice Soho HQ)
Put together, these features make it much easier to offer part‑time office space with parking and public transport access in the same place – helpful if your team mixes driving, rail and bike commutes.
Here’s a quick checklist you can run through before you commit to any space:
Because eOffice operates multiple central London centres plus a wider global network, you can also add regional or international spaces later without starting from scratch. (Source: eOffice – Flexible Workspaces & Hybrid Models 2025)
If you’re ready to turn “somewhere central” into a concrete plan, a simple way to start is:
As a Certified B Corporation, eOffice designs its workspaces to balance commercial flexibility with social and environmental impact – which includes putting locations close to major public transport nodes so more people can choose lower‑carbon commutes.

With the right central hub and pattern, your part‑time office stops being an overhead you begrudgingly pay for and becomes a well‑connected, easy‑to‑reach base your team actually wants to use.
