  • Over the past two decades, London Bridge has transformed from a commuter pass-through into one of London’s most established office markets. Sitting on the south bank of the Thames, it’s anchored by The Shard and shaped by a wave of investment that shows no sign of slowing down in SE1.

    The area attracts a broad mix of occupiers, from professional services firms and media companies to technology businesses and, increasingly, life sciences organisations. It offers something unusual for central London: serious commercial scale alongside genuine neighbourhood character. It’s directly opposite the City of London, but Borough Market, Bermondsey Street and the Thames Path are all within a few minutes’ walk.

    If you’re weighing up office space in London Bridge, this guide can help. We’ll run through the building stock, transport links and costs along with a few design and fit-out considerations to help you decide if it’s the right fit for your business.

    Table of contents:

  • Working in London Bridge

    London Bridge has two distinct personalities, which is one of its strengths. To the north and west, the Shard Quarter and More London campus offer large-floorplate, corporate-grade space with river views. That’s paired with major-brand neighbours and direct station access. Head south-east along Bermondsey Street and you’re in a different world. Think converted warehouses, independent coffee shops, galleries and a genuinely village feel.

    This duality means most businesses can find an environment that fits. A 200-person professional services team can sit in a Foster + Partners building overlooking Tower Bridge, while a 30-person creative agency can occupy a warehouse conversion five minutes away on Tanner Street. Both get the same transport hub.

    Don’t forget that the London Bridge address alone carries weight. It feels established and commercially serious without the formality of EC2 or the premium of W1. With a commuter catchment stretching deep into Surrey, Sussex and Kent, it’s also one of the most practical locations in London for businesses that work across the South East.

  • Location, transport and key streets

    London Bridge covers the area immediately south of the river between Borough High Street and Tower Bridge. Within the SE1 postcode, most office stock falls in SE1 9, SE1 2 and SE1 3. The City of London is directly across the river, with Bermondsey to the east, Borough and Elephant & Castle to the south, and Waterloo to the west.

    The office market clusters around a handful of major streets and zones:

    • London Bridge Street and St Thomas Street are home to Shard Quarter and the emerging St Thomas Street East development cluster.
    • Tooley Street has More London and Hay’s Galleria on its northern side.
    • Bermondsey Street is lined with warehouse conversions, galleries and independent businesses.
    • Duke Street Hill connects the station to the river, providing access to the main concourse.
    • Borough High Street forms the western boundary, connecting south towards Borough Market and Southwark.
  • Building-_-Street-1-aspect-ratio-1980-2640
  • Transport connections are exceptional. London Bridge station is the fourth busiest rail terminal in London, handling around 55 million passengers a year:

    • London Bridge Underground serves the Northern line (Bank branch) and the Jubilee line. This gets you to Canary Wharf in five minutes, Westminster in six and Bond Street in nine.
    • National Rail services from Thameslink, Southern and Southeastern provide direct trains to Gatwick Airport, Brighton, Cambridge, Canterbury and St Albans. Not to mention dozens of commuter towns across Surrey, Sussex and Kent.
    • Thameslink connects directly to Farringdon (for the Elizabeth line), St Pancras International (for Eurostar), and King’s Cross, with trains running every two to three minutes at peak times.
    • Borough Underground station (Northern line) is a five-minute walk to the south.
    • London Bridge City Pier offers Thames Clipper river bus services to Greenwich, Canary Wharf, Westminster and Embankment.
    • Cycling infrastructure is strong, with Santander Cycle docking stations throughout the area and segregated lanes along key routes.
  • Underground-aspect-ratio-1980-2640
  • Types of office space in London Bridge

    London Bridge office space includes a few different types of tenure and lease:

    • Traditional leases provide full control and the lowest cost per sq ft, typically on longer terms.
    • Serviced or managed offices are ready to occupy with furniture, broadband and building costs bundled together.
    • Flexible offices suit teams with uncertain headcount or those testing a location, thanks to their shorter terms.
    • Coworking and private offices range from individual desks in a shared space to fully private floors.

    Let’s take a closer look at what’s available:

  • Grade A towers and campus buildings

    London Bridge has some of London’s most recognisable commercial buildings. The Shard, More London and the incoming EDGE London Bridge tower all offer large, high-specification floorplates with strong sustainability credentials. These buildings suit established businesses and international firms, as well as organisations with ESG reporting requirements or a need for scale.

    Unsurprisingly, the trade-off is cost. Prime rents in the best towers are pushing towards the upper end of the Southbank market, and availability on the most sought-after floors moves quickly.

  • More-London-Riverside-aspect-ratio-2640-1980
  • Warehouse and character buildings

    Bermondsey Street and the surrounding lanes are home to a cluster of converted Victorian and Edwardian warehouses. Many of these now function as open-plan office space with exposed brick, timber beams, high ceilings and courtyard access. As an example, Woolyard on Bermondsey Street is a managed campus of warehouse buildings set around a central courtyard, offering self-contained units throughout.

    This stock is ideal for creative agencies, design studios, boutique consultancies and tech companies that want workspace with character. However, supply is naturally limited and the best units rarely stay on the market for long.

  • 34BoarLane-6-HighRes-aspect-ratio-2640-1980
  • Refurbished and repositioned offices

    A middle ground exists between the character stock and the trophy towers. Several buildings have been upgraded to modern specification along Tooley Street and around Borough High Street. They retain reasonable floor areas and competitive rents. This segment is typically the sweet spot for mid-sized businesses that want quality without the premium of a new build.

    Specification varies widely in this category though, so it’s worth reviewing EPC ratings and service charges carefully before committing.

  • 18_wingate_cat_a_b-aspect-ratio-2640-1980
  • Serviced, managed and flexible offices

    London Bridge has a strong flexible office market. The Office Group, Regus, Runway East and Work.Life all have locations in the area, along with Fora in The Shard.

    With no fit-out commitment and short minimum terms, this is a practical option for fast-growing businesses or anyone testing a location before committing to a longer lease. Of course, that comes with less control over the look and feel of the space.

    You benefit from the simplicity of a single monthly cost. That said, the higher cost per desk makes it more expensive at scale compared to a traditional lease. Whether or not the flexibility is worth the premium will depend on your circumstances.

  • 5 office buildings shaping London Bridge

    London Bridge offers everything from landmark towers and corporate campuses to highly sustainable next-generation workplaces. The buildings below represent some of the strongest office destinations in and around London Bridge, each offering a distinct combination of location, amenities, workplace experience and occupier profile.

5-Office-Buildings-Shaping-London-Bridge-aspect-ratio-3840-2160
  • 1) More London

    More London is a 13-acre riverside campus immediately south-west of Tower Bridge. Owned by Kuwait’s sovereign wealth fund, the estate comprises over 2.1 million sq ft of mixed-use space across a series of glass-fronted buildings. That’s all set around a pedestrianised public realm with open-air sculptures, fountains and The Scoop amphitheatre.

    It’s one of London’s most established corporate office destinations. The campus format and its concentration of major occupiers create an environment that functions almost like a business district within a business district.

    Key facts

    • Size: Over 2.1 million sq ft (total estate)
    • Buildings: 1 & 6 More London Place; 2, 3, 4 and 7 More London Riverside
    • Architect: Foster + Partners
    • Developer: CIT
    • Lease type: Traditional leasehold and serviced (Regus at 3 More London Riverside)
  • 6-More-Place-2-aspect-ratio-1980-2640
  • Why businesses choose it

    • Over 2 million sq ft of riverside office space in a single managed estate, offering genuine scale and a curated tenant mix
    • Foster + Partners architecture throughout, with large efficient floorplates and river views
    • Pedestrianised public realm with restaurants, retail and event spaces creates a self-contained working environment
    • Four-minute walk to London Bridge station with Tower Bridge and the City visible across the river

    Occupiers

    More London is home to several of the world’s largest professional services firms. PwC, Ernst & Young and Norton Rose Fulbright are long-standing anchor tenants. The estate’s scale and specification make it particularly attractive to financial services and legal firms that need large interconnected floors.

    Features

    Potters Fields Park sits adjacent to the estate, providing green space and river views that occupiers and visitors use year-round. There’s also a sunken amphitheatre (The Scoop) that hosts free events throughout the summer.

    Additionally, the 2021 refurbishment of 2 More London converted basement car parking into high-end end-of-trip facilities. With showers, lockers and upgraded cycle storage, it supports the shift in how people commute.

  • 2) The Shard

    Completed in 2012 and designed by Renzo Piano, the Shard needs little introduction. The 72-storey tower at London Bridge Street is the tallest occupiable building in Western Europe at 1,016 feet.

    It’s genuinely mixed-use in a way few buildings anywhere can claim. Grade A office accommodation sits across multiple floors alongside the Shangri-La hotel, London Bridge Hospital, residential apartments and a public viewing gallery.

    With almost 800,000 sq ft of net internal area across a building of this profile, it’s more like a vertical neighbourhood than a conventional office address. Wired Certified Platinum connectivity and direct access to London Bridge station reinforce the practical case alongside the iconic one.

    Key facts

      • Size: 782,466 sq ft net internal area
      • Floors: 72
      • Completed: 2012
      • Architect: Renzo Piano Building Workshop
      • Developer/Owner: Sellar Property Group / Qatari Diar
      • Lease type: Traditional leasehold and managed (Fora)
      • Accreditations: BREEAM Excellent, Wired Certified Platinum
  • The-Shard-2-aspect-ratio-1980-2640
  • Why businesses choose it

    • The most recognisable commercial address in London Bridge, with views across the capital from every office floor
    • Genuinely mixed-use at scale. This self-contained working environment combines office, hotel, hospital, residential and retail in a single building.
    • 97.8% leased despite its size, reflecting sustained demand for space at one of London’s most prominent addresses
    • Wired Certified Platinum connectivity with multiple direct fibre providers committed to the building
    • Fora operates flexible workspace within the building, providing a managed option alongside traditional leases
    • Direct access to London Bridge Underground and National Rail station, making it one of the best-connected office addresses in the capital

    Occupiers

    The Shard houses over 30 companies across a wide range of sectors including finance, technology, healthcare and media. Kraft Heinz, Greenberg Traurig and Robert Half are among the established tenants, with HCA Healthcare occupying several floors through London Bridge Hospital. The breadth of the occupier base reflects the building’s position as a destination address rather than one that’s sector specific.

    Features

    The views from The Shard’s office floors are unmatched in London Bridge. From the upper levels, the panorama takes in the City, Canary Wharf, the Thames and beyond. The result is a working environment that’s difficult to replicate anywhere else in SE1. For businesses where the office makes a statement to clients and prospective employees, that visibility carries real weight.

  • 3) Arbor, Bankside Yards

    Arbor is the first completed office building within Bankside Yards, a 1.4 million sq ft mixed-use redevelopment on Southwark Street. Completed in 2023 and designed by PLP Architecture, the 20-storey tower occupies a prominent position adjacent to Blackfriars station. It’s the first step in reconnecting the space between Tate Modern and one of the South Bank’s major transport hubs.

    Net Zero Carbon, BREEAM Excellent and EPC A credentials put it firmly in the top tier of South Bank buildings for sustainability. With asking rents of £95–98.50/sq ft, it’s also among the most premium addresses on this stretch of the river.

    Key facts

    • Size: 228,511 sq ft
    • Floors: 20
    • Completed: 2023
    • Architect: PLP Architecture
    • Developer/Owner: Native Land
    • Lease type: Traditional leasehold
    • Accreditations: BREEAM Excellent, EPC A, Net Zero Carbon
  • Arbor-Building-2-aspect-ratio-1980-2640
  • Why businesses choose it

    • Net Zero Carbon in construction and operation, with BREEAM Excellent and EPC A. Strong credentials for occupiers with ESG reporting requirements
    • 300-foot tower with river and city views from upper floors, adjacent to Blackfriars station and a short walk from London Bridge and Waterloo
    • 27 showers, 375 lockers and 330 bike racks represent a serious end-of-trip offer for a building of this size
    • Part of the wider Bankside Yards masterplan, which will eventually deliver 1.4 million sq ft of mixed-use space between Tate Modern and Blackfriars
    • Tenant mix of law firms, professional services and technology businesses reflects the breadth of the South Bank options available.

    Occupiers

    Flutter Entertainment, Winckworth Sherwood, Wipro, Lewis Silkin and Merlin Entertainments are among the current occupiers. This cross-section of technology, legal and professional services brands reflects Arbor’s positioning at the premium end of the South Bank market. Several floors are still available too, making it one of the more significant active leasing opportunities on this stretch of the river.

    Features

    Situated within the Bankside Yards masterplan, Arbor is at the heart of a long-term transformation in this part of SE1. When it’s complete, the development will reconnect the riverside between Tate Modern and Blackfriars. That gives occupiers access to a growing cultural and commercial neighbourhood that’s still taking shape. For businesses taking longer leases, the direction of travel here is clearly upward.

  • 4) Tide Bankside

    Tide Bankside is one of the most credentialled new office buildings to arrive on the South Bank in recent years. Designed by Squire & Partners, the 12-storey building on Park Street was completed in 2024 and sits a short walk from London Bridge station.

    It’s achieved a remarkable cluster of sustainability certifications, including BREEAM Outstanding, NABERS 5 Star, EPC A and net zero for embodied carbon. The building also brings 13,000 sq ft of private and shared green spaces, plus openable windows and 284 cycle parking spaces. This specification puts occupier wellbeing at the centre of the design rather than in the footnotes.

    Key facts

    • Size: 148,846 sq ft
    • Floors: 12
    • Completed: 2024
    • Architect: Squire & Partners
    • Lease type: Traditional leasehold and managed (NewFlex)
    • Accreditations: BREEAM Outstanding, NABERS 5 Star, EPC A, Net Zero embodied carbon
  • Tide-pg-aspect-ratio-1980-2640
  • Why businesses choose it

    • Among the strongest sustainability credentials of any building in the London Bridge area: BREEAM Outstanding, NABERS 5 Star, EPC A and net zero embodied carbon
    • 13,000 sq ft of private and shared green spaces and openable windows are rare at this size and directly support occupier wellbeing strategies
    • Ninth-floor availability at £107.50/sq ft offers high-specification space with views across the South Bank towards the City
    • NewFlex operates managed workspace within the building on a lease running to 2039, providing a flexible option alongside traditional leases
    • 284 cycle parking spaces, a cycle maintenance centre and 28 showers reflect a serious commitment to sustainable commuting

    Occupiers

    NewFlex, Workplace Futures Group, Flight Centre Travel Group and Waterman are among the current tenants. They bring together flexible workspace operators, travel, engineering and professional services businesses. This mix reflects the building’s appeal to a broad range of occupiers who share a commitment to high-quality, sustainable workspace.

    Features

    13,000 sq ft of green space is split between private terraces and shared areas. It’s the building’s most distinctive physical quality. Remember, most new buildings offer a single rooftop terrace. However, Tide distributes outdoor space across the building and integrates planting throughout. For businesses where the daily working environment is part of the culture they’re trying to build, that approach is meaningfully different from what most of the South Bank stock can offer.

  • 5) The Blue Fin Building

    Completed in 2007, the Blue Fin Building is one of the South Bank’s most established large-scale office addresses. The 14-storey building on Southwark Street was designed by Allies and Morrison for Land Securities. It sits directly beside Tate Modern and within easy reach of Borough, Southwark and London Bridge stations.

    With typical floorplates of around 33,000 sq ft, it’s one of the few buildings in the area that can accommodate large, consolidated teams without splitting across multiple floors. Fora operates flexible workspace within the building, and CoStar Group, Totaljobs and Stagwell are among the current tenants.

    Key facts

    • Size: 474,776 sq ft
    • Floors: 14
    • Completed: 2007
    • Architect: Allies and Morrison
    • Developer: Land Securities
    • Owner: Temasek / Oxford Properties
    • Lease type: Traditional leasehold and managed (Fora)
    • Accreditations: BREEAM Very Good
  • Blue-Fin-1-aspect-ratio-1980-2640
  • Why businesses choose it

    • One of the largest floorplates on the South Bank at around 33,000 sq ft, suited to businesses that need scale without splitting across buildings
    • Established address beside Tate Modern with a well-curated mix of media, technology and professional services tenants
    • Significant availability across multiple floors offers flexibility for businesses of different sizes, with Fora providing a managed option
    • “The Pod” rooftop terrace and café add to an amenity package that suits larger occupier teams
    • Competitively priced relative to newer stock, with CoStar estimated rents of £61–75/sq ft making it one of the more accessible large-floorplate options in SE1

    Occupiers

    CoStar Group, Totaljobs, Stagwell and Muscleworks Gym are among the current occupiers, alongside Fora’s flexible workspace operation. The building has historically attracted media and technology businesses that value the size alongside the Bankside location. It offers close proximity to both the cultural offer of the South Bank and the transport connections of London Bridge and Southwark stations.

    Features

    The Blue Fin Building’s position next to Tate Modern is arguably its most distinctive asset. Occupiers get means daily proximity to one of London’s most visited cultural institutions. Paired with public spaces around the gallery, a regular programme of exhibitions and events creates a neighbourhood feel that most office addresses of this size simply don’t have.

  • Which companies choose London Bridge?

    London Bridge attracts a broad range of occupiers, from global professional services firms and media organisations to fast-growing technology businesses, healthcare innovators and creative consultancies.

    Its appeal lies in the combination of exceptional connectivity, modern office stock and a distinctive local character that blends corporate scale with independent energy. As a result, the area has evolved into one of London’s most diverse business districts, accommodating everything from multinational headquarters to specialist boutique firms.

  • Professional services and finance

    Professional services firms are the dominant occupier group in London Bridge. At More London alone, you have PwC, Ernst & Young and Norton Rose Fullbright. The area’s combination of large, efficient floorplates and direct access to the South East commuter network makes it a strong fit for firms with big teams and clients spread across the City and the home counties.

    For firms that need City adjacency without City rents, London Bridge offers a meaningful cost advantage. You’re a five-minute walk across the river from EC4, but occupancy costs are typically 15 to 25% lower.

  • HaynesBoone-4-MidRes-aspect-ratio-2640-1980
  • Media and publishing

    London Bridge has become one of London’s most significant media clusters. News UK’s decision to base its entire UK operation at The News Building was a defining moment for the area. The 430,000 sq ft headquarters houses around 3,500 media and publishing professionals, spanning The Times, The Sunday Times, The Sun, The Wall Street Journal, Dow Jones and Talksport.

    With a mix of large floorplate buildings and smaller character spaces, the area suits media businesses of all sizes. A global publisher can sit in Shard Quarter while an independent production company occupies a warehouse on Bermondsey Street five minutes away.

  • Headland-15-MidRes-aspect-ratio-2640-1980
  • Technology

    The technology sector is growing too, with the area attracting serious technology occupiers as well as startups. That’s reflected in ServiceNow’s decision to anchor EDGE London Bridge with a 50,000 sq ft lease on the upper floors. The building’s sustainability credentials and smart-building infrastructure were central to their choice.

    The Shard also houses technology firms across its office floors, including digital marketing agency Jellyfish. For technology businesses that want strong transport links without the Shoreditch premium, London Bridge is an increasingly natural choice. The same is true for those that need proximity to City-based financial services clients.

  • TelefonicaLondon-8-MidRes-aspect-ratio-2640-1980
  • Healthcare and life sciences

    This is the emerging story in London Bridge. The SC1 Life Science & Innovation District is turning the area south of St Thomas Street into a dedicated cluster for healthcare innovation and research.

    The Vinegar Yard development is a 185,000 sq ft life sciences-led scheme designed by KPF. It’s been created specifically to accommodate flexible NHS clinical, medical and R&D uses. Guy’s Hospital sits at the heart of the district and The Shard itself houses part of London Bridge Hospital (HCA Healthcare).

    For life sciences and health-tech businesses, London Bridge is now one of the most compelling locations in central London.

  • MedPharm-10-MidRes-aspect-ratio-2640-1980
  • Creative agencies and boutique consultancies

    Bermondsey Street and the surrounding lanes have a thriving community of creative agencies, design studios and specialist consultancies. The warehouse stock works well for creative brand identities with exposed brick, courtyard settings and independent neighbours. They contribute to an identity that no glass-fronted campus can match.

    The White Cube gallery, Maltby Street Market and the Fashion and Textile Museum all add to a cultural backdrop that creative businesses value too. It’s a different register to Shoreditch. Think quieter and slightly more refined, but with genuine character and a strong local identity.

  • GravityMedia-3-MidRes-aspect-ratio-2640-1980
  • Key considerations

    London Bridge offers a compelling mix of connectivity, amenities and office stock, but businesses should look beyond headline rents and location alone when assessing the area. The market is evolving rapidly, with significant new development, distinct workplace environments and a diverse building stock that can influence both costs and day-to-day operations. Understanding these factors early will help you identify the right space and avoid unexpected compromises later in the process.

    Two markets in one

    London Bridge’s split personality is an asset, but it means you need to be clear about what kind of environment you’re looking for. The More London and Shard Quarter end of the market offers corporate scale and brand-name neighbours with river views. The Bermondsey Street end offers character and community with a more intimate feel. They’re five minutes apart on foot but very different propositions in terms of rent, specification and workplace culture.

    The development pipeline is active

    London Bridge is in the middle of a significant development cycle. EDGE London Bridge completes in 2026. Colechurch House, Vinegar Yard and Sellar’s Bermondsey Yards are all in various stages of planning or construction along St Thomas Street. The emergence of the SC1 Life Science & Innovation District around Guy’s Hospital is also reshaping the southern part of the area.

    This pipeline means the market will evolve meaningfully over the next three to five years. If you’re taking a longer lease, it’s worth understanding how new supply could affect your building’s position and amenity offer.

  • Cost: competitive for what you get

    Headline rents for Grade A space in Shoreditch and the Old Street corridor typically run between £75 and £82.50 per sq ft per annum. That’s noticeably lower than the City core and significantly below the West End. However, service charges (typically £10 to £15 per sq ft) and business rates (typically 45 to 55% of headline rent) should be factored in from the outset.

    Total occupancy cost is often 30 to 40% above the quoted headline rent. For a full picture of London office costs by submarket, see Oktra’s London cost guide.

    Space planning in older stock

    The warehouse buildings that give Bermondsey Street its character can present challenges for denser fit-outs. Irregular floorplates, split levels and variable floor-to-ceiling heights are common. If your team works in a way that requires standardised desk layouts or complex AV infrastructure, you’ll want to assess the building carefully before committing.

  • Alternative areas to London Bridge for office space

    London Bridge won’t suit every business. Fortunately, there are several alternatives close by. The City of London sits directly across the river and remains the right choice when you need a formal EC address, large contiguous floorplate or direct financial-sector adjacency.

    Waterloo and the wider Southbank offer a similar south-of-the-river feel with strong cultural amenities. However, the office stock is generally more dispersed and less corporate than London Bridge.

    Bermondsey and Shad Thames extend the character-building stock east towards Tower Bridge. Expect lower rents and a quieter environment for businesses that don’t need direct station access.

    Shoreditch appeals to technology, creative and fintech businesses that want the energy of East London and proximity to the Silicon Roundabout talent pool. All at a similar or slightly lower price point.
