Edinburgh serviced office space

Short Background

Famously known as “The Athens of the North”, an 18th-century nickname dreamed up during the Scottish Enlightenment, Edinburgh is Scotland’s capital and the UK’s second most visited city by tourists. A UNESCO World Heritage site rich in history, the architecture within the city ranges from hundred-year-old buildings with intricate designs to state of the art modern buildings which are home to fully furnished offices. Nothing reflects the city’s culture more than its historical and cultural attractions allowing you to experience different centuries of history without even moving.

Today, its economy is based mainly on financial services, scientific research, higher education, and tourism and is the strongest economy of any city in the UK outside London, boasting the highest percentage of professionals. With 43% of the population holding a degree-level or professional qualification, shared or dedicated office space here will provide the perfect recipe for business growth.

Benefits to working here

Despite being a World Heritage Site, New Town is one of the areas within Edinburgh which has seen development and is now home to serviced offices to rent. Alongside West Edinburgh and the Exchange District, these three make up the core business areas within the city. There are many graduates that choose to settle down and look for graduate roles within Edinburgh, largely due to the four Universities within its boundaries; most notably the University of Edinburgh, which is recognised as one of the best in the world.

Getting around Edinburgh is a breeze, with the city having a fantastic bus and tram service to ensure that you get to work on time. Alternatively, if you need to travel to other parts of the UK for business, the train services that run from Edinburgh Waverley railway station and Edinburgh Park Station can take you to many different UK cities.

Things to do

Edinburgh is not only a business hotspot, it is also a tourist destination, with tourists injecting over £1.3 billion a year into the local economy. It is here that each summer the world's biggest arts festival comes to life – the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Some of Edinburgh’s most visited attractions include Edinburgh Castle which you can almost always see from anywhere within the city, the Scottish National Gallery and the National Museum of Scotland. There are tastes to accommodate all, with a range of pubs and restaurants within the city and options for Michelin Star food at establishments such as Number One.
