4 Tips for Finding a New Office in Paddington This Autumn
Autumn is the season when many businesses look for a fresh start in a new workspace. With its central London location, vibrant commercial scene, and superb transport connections, Paddington is a popular hub for those looking for offices. Whether you’re a startup or an established company looking to scale, finding the right serviced office this autumn requires a strategic approach.
Here are four essential tips for finding a new office in Paddington.
1. Prioritise Proximity to Central London
A great office starts with a great location. Choose a space that’s easy to reach by public transport in a neighbourhood that reflects your company’s culture.
Your daily commute represents one of the most significant yet overlooked factors affecting team performance in UK workplaces.
Studies have shown that longer commute times can diminish focus and productivity in the workplace. Paddington Works is just a 5-minute walk from Paddington Station, which offers step-free access and level access from the platform to trains on all London Underground lines. Our workspace ensures a hassle-free commute for everyone.
2. Seek Out Workspaces that offer All-Inclusive Packages
Running your own office can be complex when you’re a busy entrepreneur or a growing team. There is internet to arrange, utility bills to pay, and cleaning to plan. That’s where serviced offices stand apart. At Paddington Works, we believe your office should work for you.
Everything you need is included in one simple monthly fee, including:
- Reception team
- High-speed Wi-Fi
- Cleaning and maintenance services
- Business rates
- Printing and scanning facilities
- Access to kitchens and breakout areas
This model offers two key advantages:
- Simplicity – No need to juggle multiple bills or chase after suppliers.
- Cost control – You’ll prevent unexpected expenses and plan your budget more confidently.
By freeing up your time, you can concentrate more on strategy, clients, and growth instead of operational tasks.
3. Plan for Growth
If you’re currently based in Paddington Works and find yourself needing more room for your expanding team, we’ve got the perfect workspace solution, Porchester Works, our sister site designed for scaling businesses.

4. Look for Amenities That Support Productivity
An office space is more than just 4 walls and a few desks. Your workspace should feature amenities and community events throughout the month that foster a sense of community and connection. Being surrounded by like-minded businesses and entrepreneurs can spark fresh ideas, partnerships, and a more enjoyable workday.
At Paddington Works, we offer a wealth of thoughtfully designed amenities. These include:
