Find a London virtual office

What is a virtual office?

A virtual office, in London or elsewhere, is a real-life address that businesses can access for trading, marketing, advertising, and invoicing purposes. A virtual office address boosts your professional image and gives you a presence in London, without the costly monthly overheads associated with renting a serviced office full-time.

When you ‘move into’ a virtual office, costs such as utilities, site staff and on-site technology are included in your monthly fee. You’ll also have the opportunity to add on extra services like mail handling, telephone answering, and the option to use your virtual address as your registered company address. You can add your London virtual office address to your website, invoices, email signature and social media, and put your business on the map.
