London Office, Retail to Rent - City of Westminster, London

Welcome to London's future workplace, HYLO: A basecamp for brilliance. Designed by HCL Architects and modelled by Stiff + Trevillion interior designers, the building offers 258,000 square feet of premium CAT A and CAT B office space and 17,000 square feet of retail space. Providing the perfect platform for startups and global brands, HYLO offers the ideal destination for occupiers seeking a smart, modern workplace designed with health, well-being, and sustainability. Built for the future, the project strengthened the original structure and added 13 additional stories to meet occupation demands, incorporating four private terraces and a communal business lounge. Using the superstructure of the original building helped save over 2,500 tonnes of CO2, alongside a further 750 tonnes that would have been wasted if the building had been demolished and rebuilt from scratch. Compared to leasing a new building, these green initiatives will generate a carbon savings of around 25% over a typical 10-year lease. Boasting a BREAAM Rating of Excellent, an EPC A Rating, and CO2 emissions 35% below 2013 PartL. The careful consideration of the building's design has been widely recognised with various awards presented to HYLO in 2022, including the RICS Award for Best Commercial Development, the Supreme Award for Structural Engineering Excellence, the Tall Building Award for Best Mixed-Use Building, and the Winner of Winners Award by the Tall Building Awards, securing HYLO as London's future workplace. Commute easily with excellent end-of-journey facilities, including 30 showers, 407 cycle racks, 397 lockers, hotel-quality changing facilities, bike servicing stations, drinking points, and a dedicated entrance. Public transport access is also unmatched, with three key London stations, including Old Street, Liverpool Street, and Moorgate, within walking distance of the building. Over the next decade, the area will unlock a new era in connectivity as it becomes a major Crossrail destination. London City Airport can be reached within 38 minutes, and all other major London airports are accessible in approximately an hour. Occupiers can also use the HYLO App, making it easier than ever for forward-thinking businesses to support their ESG and workplace ambitions through intelligent and experience-focused technology. Tenants will enjoy several interactive features that will help enhance their day-to-day environment.

What types of retail units are available in London?
Retail spaces available range from high street shops, corner units, and parade shops to shopping centre units, kiosks, and destination retail in leisure or outlet parks. Units vary in size, frontage, and footfall exposure.
What should I consider before renting a retail unit?
Key considerations include location, target customer base, footfall, frontage, accessibility, loading/delivery access, planning use, lease flexibility, and nearby occupiers. It’s also essential to factor in service charges, business rates, and fit-out costs.
What is typically included in a retail lease?
A standard lease outlines rent, term length, service charges, repair obligations, permitted use, and break clauses. Most leases are full repairing and insuring (FRI), meaning the tenant is responsible for upkeep and insurance costs unless negotiated otherwise.
Do I need planning permission to change the use of a shop?
Possibly. Many retail properties now fall under Use Class E, which allows greater flexibility. However, if you're changing to a takeaway (sui generis), clinic, or residential, planning permission may be required. Always check with the local planning authority.
Are business rates included in shop rents?
No. Business rates are a separate cost, unless the lease is all-inclusive. Small businesses may qualify for Small Business Rate Relief (SBRR), which can significantly reduce or eliminate rates payable depending on the property's rateable value.
Can I sublet or assign my retail lease?
This depends on your lease terms. Some agreements allow subletting or lease assignment with the landlord’s consent. It’s important to confirm this upfront if flexibility is a priority for your business.
How do I find the right retail unit in London?
Start by browsing online commercial platforms like LoopNet. Define your budget, preferred location, unit size, and target market. It can also help to speak with a local commercial agent who understands London's retail landscape.
