London is one of the busiest cities in the world. As the nation's capital it is the place of many business transactions, and home to tens of thousands of businesses types. Anyone with good business sense knows that clients will respond to location, and the location on a company's documents and business cards will create an impression before they even visit the office.

If you are looking to set up office space in London, it needs to be done affordably and near other interesting and relevant venues in order to attract appropriate clients to your building. As Phil and Kirsty are always telling us it's all about location and the same goes for office space so follow these guidelines to get the best location for your business.

In the heart of London is a great deal of serviced office space. This is an option which provides basic needs - furniture, desks, chairs etc are supplied, along with communication tools such as telephones and internet connections, which are all part of the chosen rental package.

A serviced office may be more expensive than one without these amenities but you will be saving in terms of convenience by avoiding the search for, and transport of, heavy furniture, and contacting utility companies.

South Bank is a prestigious location for an office which hopes to pull in connections from nearby commuter hot points Southwark station and Waterloo station.

Meanwhile on the outskirts of London office space is more reasonably priced, but you have the drawback that you won't be located near points of interest. The city's public transport is efficient and should overcome most problems which come along with being on the outskirts.

Canary Warf is an area of London well known for office space, and it is renowned as the business hub of the City. Now it has also grown into a centre of entertainment and dining, offices have sprung up to take advantage of these surrounding convenient businesses. For example, business owners are seeing the advantage of being able to entertain clients at a local restaurant or pub right on the office doorstep.

Not only clients will benefit from a location in Canary Warf, employees will also be able to grab a quick bite for lunch or take it easy after work at a pub right by their office.

Mayfair and Bank are among the most distinguished of London office locations. However they aren't necessarily the most expensive as there is a lot of fluctuation in the value of London office space, which can change by the month. Keep a close eye on rent fees and you may be able to snap up a high end location in the lower price range.

Office real estate is like any real estate as it is essentially based on location. Find an area that fits your business as well as recreational needs and is one that you can afford and it will treat you well. If any city has choice when it comes to locations London has, and whatever your office needs and budget you are bound to find the perfect space.
