38-39 St Johns Lane

Serviced offices to rent at 38-39 St John's Lane place a boutique period townhouse at the heart of Farringdon, EC1M, one of the capital's most established addresses for creative and professional businesses. WorkPad operates the building as a collection of private office suites, each fully furnished, self-contained and sized for small and mid-size teams. The result is a serviced office with the feel of a private company headquarters rather than the anonymity of a large corporate workspace, which makes it a strong fit for founders, consultancies, design studios and boutique professional services firms.

Farringdon station sits two minutes away, connecting the Elizabeth line, Thameslink and three Underground lines. That connectivity gives client-facing teams and visiting clients an easy approach from almost anywhere, including a direct airport run.

Behind an arched shopfront and a red brick period facade moments from Smithfield Market, the interior has been comprehensively refurbished. Original pine boarding, tall sash windows and a bright white finish run through the suites, while the shared areas cover a kitchen and breakout lounge, an acoustically treated dining table for informal meetings, a phone booth for private calls, and a bespoke meeting room seating eight with a wall-mounted screen and video conferencing. The suites vary in size and configuration, and the communal kitchen, breakout space and call booth sit apart from the working suites so calls and lunches do not spill into them.

Fair use of that meeting room is built into the monthly rate rather than billed by the hour. Building rates, utilities, daily cleaning, in-house maintenance, IT support and a dedicated 100Mb fibre connection per suite are all included as standard, alongside 24-hour secure access and CCTV. Every suite arrives furnished with ergonomic seating and generously sized workstations, so a team can be trading from the first morning with nothing to procure, install or reconcile separately. Support is on site rather than outsourced, so a broadband fault or a furniture change is handled by the same team that runs the building.

Those communal spaces give the building a real social heart, and the surrounding streets supply the rest: independent coffee roasters, long-standing pubs and some of the city's better restaurants sit within a few minutes' walk, which matters for teams that entertain clients or recruit against larger competitors. The building is unbranded throughout, which allows occupiers to apply their own identity to the space.

Suites are let on an all-inclusive basis, with rates, utilities and building services carried in a single monthly figure rather than billed as extras, and terms are confirmed against each available suite. Suites in this building rarely sit empty for long. Enquire through CityFlex today to arrange a viewing.
