15 Fetter Lane is advantageously positioned in the heart of Midtown, one of London’s most diverse and sought after office markets. The Property is located within walking distance of future Elizabeth Line services at Farringdon Station, one of London’s most important transport hubs.
15 Fetter Lane occupies a strategic position in the heart of Central London at the intersection of the City of London, Midtown and Farringdon, providing access to an array of local amenities and unparalleled transport connectivity.
15 Fetter Lane is situated adjacent to Landsec’s landmark c.1 million sq. ft. New Street Square Estate, which, in addition to being the home of Deloitte, boasts a diverse amenities offering in conjunction with a procured and landscaped public realm.
Midtown, one of London’s most historic districts, is synonymous with the legal sector due to the close proximity of numerous famous legal landmarks including the Royal Courts of Justice, the Old Bailey, the Commercial Courts and the Four Inns of Court. Recently, Midtown has undergone a rejuvenated influx of sectors such as technology, media and telecommunication (TMT), finance and fashion which, in turn, has evolved the character of the locality along with the demographic of its people, creating a diverse and vibrant working environment. This is demonstrated with a broad spectrum of global occupiers now present including the likes of Amazon, Taylor Wessing, Bird & Bird, Unilever, JP Morgan, Deloitte, Capgemini, Saatchi & Saatchi and Goldman Sachs, ensuring Midtown is a prominent focus for leading global investors.
As a result of the increasingly diverse and vibrant occupier base Midtown has seen the arrival of distinguished restaurants such as Gaucho, Brasserie Blanc and Cigalon, a concentration of artisan coffee shops, bars and stylish hotels.
