79-81 Paul Street, Shoreditch

Paul Street runs north from Leonard Circus through the middle of Shoreditch, and 79-81 is a six-storey warehouse conversion on it, a few doors from Telephone House. The operator describes it as an exercise in volume, light and character, which is a fair reading of what a good warehouse conversion delivers: proportions and daylight that a modern floorplate rarely matches.

These are the two cheapest floors sub800 offers. The first floor is 1,390 sq ft for twenty-four at £12,450 a month, the third 1,457 sq ft for twenty-four at £12,850, both all-inclusive and both working out around £520 a desk, the lowest per-head figure in the portfolio. The third floor is marketed for speedy move-in. The building also has car parking, which in EC2 is close to unheard of, along with air conditioning, a lift, meeting rooms and showers.
