Question 1

How long is a First Base office contract?

Accepted Answer

First Base offices in London are offered on flexible terms, from a single month to 12, 24 months or longer, and its site says it offers short-term contracts rather than long-term commitments.

The term agreed affects the monthly price, so compare the listing price with the length you need. Because both buildings are serviced, a team can move into a furnished office without a fit-out.

Question 2

How do I book a viewing at First Base in London?

Accepted Answer

You can arrange a viewing of a First Base office in London by enquiring on the listing for 49 Queen Victoria Street or 231 Vauxhall Bridge Road, and the operator confirms a time.

First Base's own site also carries a book-a-viewing option. Viewing both buildings is worthwhile, as they sit in different parts of central London: the City near Cannon Street and Victoria in SW1.

Question 3

How much does a First Base serviced office in London cost?

Accepted Answer

First Base private offices in London average GBP 430 per desk per month across the seven private offices listed on Office Hub.

That average spans every listing at its two buildings, so the price of a given office depends on its size, the building and the term agreed. Each listing shows its own price, and availability changes.

• 49 Queen Victoria Street, which First Base's site calls its Cannon Street (EC4) centre
• 231 Vauxhall Bridge Road, which its site calls its Victoria (SW1) centre

First Base describes both as Zone 1 central London locations with good transport links.
