What is flexible office space?
Flexible workspace, which we may also refer to as flexi space, is an umbrella term for several types of workspace. These include:
- Serviced Offices: A private office set up and ready to go from the day you move in, with all-inclusive fees and facilities. These can either be full-time or part-time rentals.
- Managed Offices: A “blank canvas” private space customised to the tenant’s liking, with all-inclusive fees and facilities.
- Coworking Spaces: A combination of shared offices, business centres, and cafés offering on-demand access, community events, and plug-and-play setups.
- Hot desks: A flexible alternative to conventional offices where employees use any available desk at a coworking space instead of having assigned desks.
What makes these workspaces ‘flexible’ is their minimum terms. While traditional lease contracts are lengthy, flexible office space requires much less commitment — from three months to a year.
Some flexible office rentals, such as part-time offices, offer monthly rolling contracts. You can even book some of these workspaces by the day or hour!
Hubble: Your key to flexible office space in London
At Hubble, we help businesses give their teams great places to work. To do this, we offer three flexible workspace solutions:
- Full-Time Offices: Your very own private office for your team to access every day of the working week.
- Part-Time Offices: A private space you rent for the same 1-3 days per week, allowing you to make substantial savings without losing the magic of in-person working.
- Hubble On-Demand: A flexible membership giving your team access to thousands of on-demand workspaces to work and meet, helping you save money and maintain collaboration.
With Hubble, you can search for office spaces, create a shortlist, book viewings, and start a rental — all in one place.
