Clerkenwell workshops offer creative businesses a fashionable baseIf you run a creative organisation looking for commercial property in London, your ability to connect with your chosen industry can be enhanced by the location and type of building that you choose. Nowadays London is a thriving centre for creative businesses offering a diverse range of available properties that feature unique facilities to improve the efficiency of key operations.
London has always been a centre for traditional media companies - historically many of the major newspaper publishers had offices on 'Fleet Street,' and the term became synonymous with the British press as a whole. Although many of these companies have moved on, London is nowadays home to many new media and creative industries including Internet startups, publishing and fashion. Clerkenwell is particularly well known for its links to the publishing industry, whilst Soho has become known for its concentration of movie and film-related companies that benefit from Sohonet, which links the area to London's film studios via high-speed optical fibres.
Whilst there are no hard and fast rules, many creative businesses in London are concentrated around the following areas:
• Clerkenwell - publishing, traditional literature
• Soho - film, TV, post-production, special effects
• Notting Hill - print, fashion, design, graphics
• Shoreditch - web technologies and start ups
In terms of properties, creative industries may want to look for the following features that might fit in well with their business goals:
• Bright, open space
• On-site cafes and restaurants
• Open-plan floors
• Superior transport links
• Goods lift
With NESTA analysis suggesting the creative industries will grow 4 percent by 2013, there's never been a better time to pursue aggressive growth strategies and position yourself in one of London's leading business districts.
