The City of London — known simply as "the Square Mile" — packs roughly 1.12 square miles with the highest concentration of financial firepower in Europe. Around 615,000 people work here daily, walking past the Bank of England, the London Stock Exchange, and the Lloyd's of London insurance market on their way between Bank, Liverpool Street, Cannon Street, and Moorgate stations. Coworking here is built for the people who serve that ecosystem: bankers, lawyers, traders, fintechs, and the consultancies that orbit them.
Hot-desks in the Square Mile typically cost £400–£650 per month. Private offices are usually £750–£1,400 per desk/month, with the highest pricing in tower addresses around Bishopsgate and Leadenhall. Day passes are widely available from £25–£45.
Expect business-grade meeting rooms with video conferencing, soundproofed phone booths, gigabit fibre, on-site reception, mail handling, and barista coffee. Many tower-based operators also include wellness rooms, end-of-trip showers and bike storage, and rooftop terraces with views of St Paul's or the Tower of London.
The largest cluster is around Bishopsgate, Liverpool Street, and Leadenhall — inside or next to towers like 22 Bishopsgate, the Gherkin, and the Leadenhall Building. A second cluster sits around Bank junction, Cheapside, and St Paul's, with smaller boutique spaces in Georgian buildings off Cornhill and Threadneedle Street.
The City has the densest transit in London. Bank/Monument connects six lines (Central, Northern, Waterloo & City, Circle, District, DLR). Liverpool Street adds the Elizabeth Line plus mainline rail. Cannon Street, Moorgate, St Paul's, and Aldgate cover the rest. Most coworking spaces are within a five-minute walk of a tube or rail station.
The member base skews toward financial services and the firms that serve them: investment banking teams, asset managers, hedge funds, insurance brokers, fintechs, lawyers, and management consultants. You'll also find compliance, legal-tech, and regtech startups clustering near their enterprise customers.
Yes — most City coworking operators sell day passes from £25–£45 depending on the address. Day passes typically include a desk, fast Wi-Fi, coffee, and access to phone booths; meeting rooms are usually billed separately by the hour. You can book a day pass through One Coworking without a monthly commitment.
