Any team that wants its own front door without signing a lease. If that is not quite you, we will point you at the product that fits instead — we have no incentive to push one option over another.

Can I compare Regus and WeWork for office space in Cambridge?

Yes — we quote both, plus the independent operators in Cambridge that are often overlooked and frequently cheaper. We are paid the same regardless of who you choose, so the comparison stays honest.

How fast can we get started?

Typically 24 to 72 hours from signing for ready-fitted space in Cambridge.

Is office space cheaper than a conventional lease in Cambridge?

Compared like for like it often is. A lease looks cheaper on headline rent, but once rates, service charge, utilities, fit-out, furniture, insurance, cleaning, broadband and end-of-term dilapidations are added, office space in Cambridge at £350–£550 per desk / month is frequently the lower true cost for teams under about 50 people — with no capital outlay.

Can we scale up or down with office space in Cambridge?

Important: where this page uses the words “rent”, “rental”, “lease” or “let” to describe workspace, those terms are used for descriptive and search purposes only. The agreement offered by flexible workspace operators is a licence to occupy, not a lease or tenancy, and it does not confer security of tenure under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954. Prices shown are indicative estimates, not quotes or offers.
