Why Hammersmith is the Perfect Place to Base Your Business
When it comes to finding the ideal office space in London, few places offer the unique blend of location, connectivity, and community quite like Hammersmith.
Whether you’re a start-up, scale-up, or a well-established business looking for flexible workspace solutions, here are some reasons as to why you should base your business in Hammersmith.
1. Prime West London Location
Situated in West London, Hammersmith offers an unbeatable location for businesses. With excellent transport links, including the Piccadilly, District, Hammersmith & City, and Circle lines, plus key bus routes, cycle lanes and road connections, it’s no wonder that Hammersmith has always seen a demand for office space. You’re just minutes from Central London, Heathrow Airport and major business hubs, making it an attractive location for both client meetings and talent acquisition.
2. Flexible Workspace Options to Suit Every Business
From coworking spaces for freelancers and early-stage startups to serviced offices and managed suites for growing teams, Hammersmith provides workspace flexibility that’s hard to beat.
The Hammersmith Campus offers everything from pay-as-you-go hot desks to long-term traditional leases. Businesses can scale up (or down) easily without the hassle of relocating or long-term commitments. This kind of flexibility is particularly valuable for scale-ups navigating growth or established businesses looking to diversify operations.
3. Thriving Business Ecosystem
Hammersmith has become a vibrant commercial hub, home to global brands like Disney, Virgin Media and Paddy Power Betfair, alongside a flourishing scene of creative agencies, tech startups, and professional services. The area fosters collaboration and innovation, with plenty of networking opportunities through community-led events, business meetups, and workshops. This mix of big-name businesses and entrepreneurial energy makes it a smart place for any company to be based.
4. Lifestyle Perks for Teams and Talent
Today’s top talent isn’t just looking for a pay cheque—they want a great work-life balance. Hammersmith delivers. With riverside walks, green parks, an ever-expanding list of restaurants, coffee shops, and bars, plus a buzzing arts scene (shoutout to the Hammersmith Apollo and Lyric Theatre) your team won’t be short of things to do after hours.
Many office providers—like Romulus, which manages the Hammersmith Campus—also offer cafés and wellbeing amenities designed to boost productivity and staff satisfaction.
5. Cost-Effective Alternative to Central London
Let’s face it—renting office space in London can be expensive. Hammersmith offers a cost-effective alternative to the City and West End, without sacrificing connectivity or prestige. You’ll find affordable office space options, whether you’re after a single hot desk, a beautifully designed plug and play office space, or a full-scale headquarters.
Plus, with initiatives like the Perks scheme at the Hammersmith Campus (which offers discounts at local businesses), your team can enjoy more for less.
6. Designed for Growth: Ideal for Startups and Scale-ups
For startups in London, Hammersmith offers the right blend of professional infrastructure and creative energy. From coworking spaces that foster connection to mentorship and funding networks such as Huddle’s partnership with Barclays Eagle Labs, this area is packed with resources for new businesses.
Scale-ups benefit from the room to grow—both physically and operationally. With access to meeting rooms, event spaces, shared amenities, and custom fit-out services, you can tailor your space as your team expands.
