Westminster’s office stock is the most varied in London, ranging from ultra-premium Mayfair townhouses to large modern headquarters on Victoria Street, creative loft spaces in Soho, elegant Marylebone offices, and modern developments at Paddington Basin. Listed buildings are common across the borough, and many of the most sought-after offices occupy heritage properties. Floor plates, ceiling heights, and specifications vary enormously depending on the area and building type.
