Property Features

The Smiths Building on Great Portland Street was completed in 1913 for Smiths Industries, a company known for making the first speedometers for motor cars. The industrial heritage and character of the building has been preserved and integrated into this beautiful workspace. The co-working hub blends industrial features with contemporary styles. Furnishings create a trendy look and feel with a mix of vintage and modern furniture and lighting. The result is a light and refreshing space with elements of the building’s past. Furnished offices are available in a range of sizes, while co-working space provides workspace in a collaborative environment. Four meeting rooms seat between four and ten people. Each room is beautifully furnished and equipped with the latest audiovisual and presentation equipment. Along with offices and meeting rooms, there are spacious common areas with creative touches. Kitchen and dining areas on each floor provide comfortable spaces to eat lunch and have a break from your desk. A roof top terrace is ideal for organising corporate events and parties, and lounges are comfortable spots to collaborate, work and relax. For workers that like to keep fit, there is an on-site gym as well as showers and bike storage for commuters that bike or run to the office.

These offices are about a three-minute walk from Great Portland Street station on the Underground’s Circle, Hammersmith & City and Metropolitan lines and a six-minute walk from Regent’s Park station on the Bakerloo line. Oxford Circus tube station is about 11 minutes away at the junction of Regent Street and Oxford Street, one of Europe’s premier shopping destinations. For a quick bite to eat, there are several restaurants and cafes moments away from your desk on Great Portland Street. Popular dining options are also found along nearby Charlotte Street.
