The City

A Guide to London City

Home to the world’s biggest banks, as well as growing fintech start-ups, the Square Mile is London’s financial centre. Argyll has six office and coworking locations here.

The City of London is arguably the world’s international centre of finance. Attracting leading banking, insurance, legal and IT businesses, Argyll customers choose our City office space or coworking locations to position their business within this thriving square mile. We explore what it’s like to work in this world-renowned area of the capital.

London City Transport Links

Located throughout this vibrant, busy neighbourhood, Argyll's City workspaces are easy to find and easy to commute to. Liverpool Street, London Bridge, Blackfriars and City Thameslink are close-by and give access to mainline rail networks and London Underground lines such as the central line and the Waterloo & City line. Or ride here – the City is served well by cycleways, as well as Santander Cycle docking stations.

Take a breather 

The area may be small, but it packs a lot into its few postcodes. To take a break from your screen, head to Finsbury Circus, or the Postman’s Park garden for a walk. SOHO Coffee Co is a favourite for artisan, organic coffee, try Crosstown for a quick caffeine and sugar hit, or relax at T4 or Yi Fang with their alternative brews.

Lunch meetings in the City

You’re spoilt for choice when it comes to food in the City of London – from fine dining to urban street food, and everything in-between. Wander to Paternoster Square, Spitalfields, or One New Change, and explore their buzzing food markets. Porterford Butchers’ queues are worth the wait, Bleecker’s burgers are legendary, or slow things down with a refined lunch at IVY Asia.

Workout and wind down 

You don’t have to go far to find ways to look after mind and body. Push yourself at one of Gymbox’s three City venues, or head for a yoga, cycling, barre or strength session at boutique training studio, Soma House. The Barbican is always a great source of escape for the imagination, or find some perspective in the secluded gardens of St Paul’s Cathedral.

After work entertainment

You’ve sent that last email, but aren’t ready to head home. Where to? The City of London will keep you entertained. Play, eat or shop at Boxpark, or perfect your swing with a round at Puttshack, Junkyard Golf, or Swingers. Feast at The Ned, explore the wines of France at Cabotte, or take in a cocktail and the view of St Paul’s at rooftop bar, Madison.

Workspace and meeting rooms in the City of London

Hot desk for the day in one of our coworking areas, get your team together for a meeting, or base your business here as often as you need with an exclusive day office. You’ll find our workspaces from Cheapside to Bishopsgate, and many places in-between.

Beyond the City

Argyll has locations across central London, in some of the capital’s most prestigious areas. Near the City, we have offices, meeting rooms and coworking spaces in Holborn & Covent Garden and Mayfair.
