Demand for London office buildings falls as staff are packed in

Total demand for London office buildings has dropped over the past three years as companies squeeze staff into ever smaller office spaces, casting a shadow over the capital’s apparently robust commercial property market.

Space occupied by companies in London has shrunk by 3m sq ft in three years, according to Seaforth Land, a London property investor.

Seaforth said a big factor in the decline was staff being packed more densely into office spaces. Total space currently makes up more than 200m sq ft.
