When it comes to selecting the perfect office space, the location matters – that’s why we make sure to have a great variety of locations for our MYO offices. At our serviced office space in St Paul’s, London, we’ve taken this to heart, we make sure to make the most of the location: our office is strategically located inside Landsec’s One New Change, a premium shopping and dining complex.
You might wonder why we’ve chosen to base ourselves in a shopping centre of all places. Well, the answer lies in the unique benefits that this extraordinary location offers to professionals, businesses, and freelancers alike.
Here’s why we’ve got an office inside a shopping centre.
Where is One New Change?
Our office is located in the heart of St Paul’s within the One New Change shopping complex – renowned for its high-end retail outlets and dining options (as well as its fair share of fast food outlets). Almost literally a stone’s throw away from the iconic cathedral that the area’s named after, our space offers a premium coworking environment that’s able to make the most of the hustle and bustle of such a busy location while retaining the ability to find calm when you need it.
Whether you’re picking up lunch, grabbing a coffee between meetings, or looking to entertain clients after hours, you’ll find no shortage of options.
The offices are situated between the second and fourth floors of the building, and the ground and first floors boast a wealth of outlets from brands like Hugo Boss, COS, and Hackett – ideal for a quick wardrobe upgrade before an important meeting. And, when it’s time to relax or socialise, One New Change is also home to fantastic dining venues such as Zizzi, Garbanzos Falafel & Salad Bar, or the stylish Madison Rooftop Bar & Restaurant, which boasts stunning views of London’s skyline.
With these conveniences at your doorstep, the office becomes more than just a place to work – it becomes part of a broader working lifestyle that perfectly mixes productivity with convenience, luxury, and comfort.
The value of networking in informal settings
One of the greatest advantages of our office’s location inside a shopping complex is the opportunity for networking in more informal, relaxed environments. Many business deals don’t happen across boardroom tables – they happen over coffee, lunch, or casual drinks.
Being situated right in the heart of a bustling centre filled with restaurants and bars, our members can easily move their meetings to a more relaxed setting. Imagine the convenience of being able to walk a few steps and grab a coffee with a potential client at Paul bakery, or enjoying an informal business lunch at Zizzi or Street Burger. These informal environments are perfect for building rapport, encouraging creative thinking, and fostering stronger business relationships.
Networking in these kinds of environments is often less intimidating than formal office meetings, leading to more open conversations and, often, better outcomes. Plus, with so many options on hand, you’ll never run out of fresh, dynamic places to meet and connect with clients and colleagues.
Boosting business with high foot traffic
The benefits of this point vary based on the nature of your business, but another unique advantage of having an office inside a shopping centre is the sheer foot traffic a shopping centre receives. Every day, hundreds (if not thousands) of people pass through One New Change. While not all of them are there specifically for coworking or business purposes, the exposure this location offers is immense.
Having your business address in such a high-traffic area means increased visibility. Whether you’re a freelancer looking to expand your network or a startup aiming to gain traction, this constant influx of visitors means you’re always in the centre of the action. Keep in mind that the people shopping in a shopping centre aren’t necessarily simply ‘consumers’ – the people shopping at high-end retail and fashion outlets are often themselves successful professionals who either own or work for high-value businesses.
In fact, One New Change attracts professionals from all industries, making it a hub of activity for anyone looking to make new business connections. It’s not uncommon to strike up conversations in lifts, restaurants, or even at coffee counters. Each of these moments offers an opportunity to showcase your business, all in a natural and approachable way.
Convenient access to St Paul’s and beyond
While One New Change offers everything you could need, its central location in the St Paul’s area means you’re never far from additional options. The fine dining and upscale bars of St Paul’s are just a short walk away. Whether you’re looking to host an important dinner at Paternoster Chop House, enjoy after-work drinks at The Happenstance, or simply need a change of scenery, the neighbourhood offers a wealth of premium venues.
And with excellent transport links, you’re always connected to the rest of London. The nearby St Paul’s and Mansion House Underground stations ensure that getting to and from the office is as easy as possible, no matter where your clients or team are based.
Flexibility for modern professionals
Working inside a shopping centre might seem unconventional at first, but it’s perfectly suited to the modern professional lifestyle. Today, professionals want more than just a standard office space.
“The Workplace” is no longer something entirely separate from places to live in and socialise – it’s something that offers work as a productive and fulfilling element of life. Professionals therefore want flexibility, convenience, and an environment that enhances their day-to-day life. With everything you need right on your doorstep – from retail therapy to gourmet dining – you’ll never have to stray far from the office for anything you might need.
This level of convenience, combined with our beautifully designed workspaces, means our St Paul’s office offers an unmatched level of flexibility for businesses. Whether you need to duck out for a quick meeting, grab lunch with a colleague, or spend a few minutes shopping in between work sessions, everything is right where you need it to be.
