4 Flexible Offices Near Paddington Station (Storey, BE Offices & More)

On the hunt for office space near Paddington Station? As the world of work evolves, some businesses are hoping for shorter commutes. Finding an office near a mainline station – so that employees can limit their travel time – is an easy place to start. So, if you’ve been searching for an office near London Paddington, look no further. We’ve got you covered.

From Alan Turing to Robert Browning, many brilliant minds have gravitated towards Paddington throughout history – and it’s easy to see why. The iconic neighbourhood is a constant source of inspiration, innovation and creativity. And thanks to a series of regeneration efforts, Paddington has risen into the vibrant, bustling and still-evolving district many London workers love today.

Hosting TFL Rail, Great Western Railway and the Heathrow Express, Paddington Station is one of the largest and busiest transport hubs in the country, with around 36 million of us passing through its grand interiors each year. Commuters from Reading and the Home Counties, in particular, benefit from speedy journey times of less than one hour.

The imminent arrival of Crossrail will further enhance Paddington’s commuter-friendly status, with 24 trains due to stop at the station every hour, each carrying 1,500 passengers.

Workwise, office space in Paddington has evolved over the years, and now, developments such as the glittering high-rise units of Merchant Square are some of the most sought-after, high-end spaces in the capital. Visa Europe’s headquarters (and its largest innovation centre) can be found in Paddington, as can Vodafone’s global headquarters.

Work and travel aside, the importance of stepping away from our screens and taking time to enjoy those well-earned breaks cannot be overlooked – and in this budding area of London, there are plenty of ways to spend a lunch hour. 

A stroll along the canal paths of Little Venice, a picturesque corner of North Paddington famed for its serene waterways, quaint bridges and attractive architecture, is sure to calm the mind.

Or, if it’s a drink and a bite to eat you’re after, why not soak up some rays beside the Regent’s Canal with its quality al fresco restaurants and bars? The array of options are perfect for post-work drinks, catch ups with colleagues or the chance to connect with clients.

Last but by no means least, no rundown of this area’s attributes would be worthy without mention of Paddington Basin. Now a hive of activity thanks to its recent transformation into a dining and leisure hotspot, the Basin regularly draws visitors from across the capital to enjoy its lively eateries such as Pergola, the popular restaurant and bar offering a buzzing rooftop experience, or Brew Dog, the craft food and beer joint – and there’s even an annual summer music festival.
