Artesian, 9 Prescot Street

Serviced offices in Aldgate reach a new standard at The Artesian, a landmark 1930s Art Deco building offering premium flexible office space and fully furnished private office suites for teams of every size. Available now on all-inclusive licence agreements, the suites give scaling businesses and established professional services firms a polished E1 base without the capital outlay or long commitment of a conventional lease. Layouts are designed around how modern teams actually work, pairing enclosed private offices with open collaboration zones and quiet focus space suited to concentrated individual work.

Connectivity is a commercial advantage here. Tower Gateway, Tower Hill and Aldgate all sit within half a mile, with Fenchurch Street mainline services a short walk away, placing client meetings across the Square Mile and a 36-minute run to London City Airport comfortably within reach.

Sensitive refurbishment has preserved the original Art Deco detailing while introducing intelligent building systems, deep natural light and a 3,300 sq ft reception lounge finished with a curved blue tile coffee bar. A barista-served counter, brass lift lobby and timber stair create an arrival experience few flexible workspace buildings in the area can match, and that standard of finish carries through the whole building. For occupiers whose clients visit often, the reception lounge is a persuasive first impression and a comfortable informal meeting setting in its own right.

The 4,500 sq ft roof terrace is the signature amenity: landscaped planting, café seating, a bar and table tennis across an outdoor space rarely offered at this scale in the City of London. Occupiers also gain breakout lounges, phone booths, bookable meeting rooms, a dedicated event space and fully stocked kitchens with bean-to-cup coffee machines. Cycle commuters are exceptionally well served by secure storage for 163 bicycles with electric charging points, changing rooms and 16 showers. A regular community events programme gives members reason to use the building beyond the working day.

Every suite is delivered fully furnished on flexible monthly licence terms, inclusive of dedicated internet at 5Mb per person, secure building-wide Wi-Fi, daily office cleaning, a professional switchboard service, onsite maintenance and 24-hour secure access with manned guarding and CCTV. Licence terms run on a rolling monthly basis with a single all-inclusive invoice and no hidden extra charges. Sustainability and connectivity credentials are certified at BREEAM Excellent, EPC A and WiredScore Platinum. Suites can be reserved ahead of occupation, and immediate occupation is available for teams that need to be operational quickly. Private office suites and bookable meeting rooms are available now on transparent monthly pricing, with terms that scale as headcount grows. Enquire through CityFlex today to arrange a viewing.
