Development House, 56-64 Leonard Street

Development House offers serviced offices in Shoreditch, EC2A, delivering premium flexible office space for start-ups, small teams and growing businesses that want a central London base without the commitment of a conventional lease. Every private office is fully furnished and move-in ready, let on a simple all-inclusive monthly fee that removes hidden costs and makes budgeting straightforward from the first day of occupation.

Old Street Underground, Shoreditch High Street Overground and Liverpool Street are all within a short walk, connecting occupiers to Northern line, Overground, National Rail and Elizabeth line services. That connectivity makes the building a practical choice for teams commuting from across the capital and for client-facing businesses that value quick access to key commercial districts.

Freshly refurbished throughout, the serviced office space pairs bright, open-plan suites with large windows and excellent natural light, creating a calm and productive setting for focused work. A staffed reception lounge sets a welcoming tone, finished with terrazzo flooring, globe pendant lighting, mid-century furniture and generous greenery, while a well-equipped meeting room with a large conference table supports client presentations, workshops and board discussions.

What sets Development House apart is the option of a bespoke fit-out delivered by the Purpose Group in-house team. Occupiers can shape layouts, furniture and branding around their own culture, combining the convenience of a serviced office with the personalisation usually associated with managed office space in London. Private offices suit a wide range of team sizes, accommodating anything from a small founding team to a business of around 50 people as it scales. Monthly terms allow occupiers to add desks or move into a larger suite as headcount grows, without renegotiating a long-term lease or paying for space that sits empty.

Beyond the front door, Shoreditch remains one of the most energetic business neighbourhoods in the capital, home to a dense community of tech start-ups, creative agencies and digital businesses. A busy street food market sits just outside the building, and nearby independent cafés, galleries and street art provide a lively backdrop for lunch breaks and after-work gatherings. For founders and scale-ups alike, the surrounding talent pool and networking opportunities make Development House a strategic address for ambitious teams.

Each private office to rent at Development House is offered on flexible, all-inclusive monthly terms, with high-speed broadband, 24-hour access, bookable meeting rooms and use of communal areas consolidated into one transparent fee. A single monthly invoice covers the essentials, leaving teams free to concentrate on growth rather than facilities management. Space is available now for businesses ready to move quickly, with no lengthy lease negoti...
