Best Travel-Connected Offices in Edinburgh

Finding an office in Edinburgh that meets your requirements means choosing the right location for your business. With hybrid working on the rise, companies are opting for offices with easy access to a city’s public transport.

Edinburgh has a strong intermodal transport network. The capital’s bus and tram system is owner-operated by the local government and saw over 110 million passengers in 2023.

It’s also a central point on the national rail network, with Edinburgh Waverley as the second busiest station in Scotland. From Waverley, you can reach many other major cities, including London in just over four hours.

Edinburgh is an attractive location for businesses. The local area has seen a surge in investment in recent years. This includes funds like the new £150 million Investment Fund for Scotland, headed by the British Business Bank.

These initiatives make Scotland’s capital a top spot for innovation. Relocating to the city will place you at the cutting edge of this new investment trend.

By choosing Edinburgh office space based on its travel links, your office will be easy to reach for staff and clients alike. You can also save on costs by choosing a private office outside the city centre with great travel connections.

Let’s look at why transport is a decision-making factor in finding serviced office space.

Edinburgh’s transport hubs connecting you in and around the city

Edinburgh features prominent transportation routes throughout the city. The following hubs link Edinburgh with the rest of the UK and beyond:

Central Business District

Offices to rent in Edinburgh’s Central Business District are well-served by public transport. Located between Haymarket and Waverley railway stations, this neighbourhood is a short walk from the city’s tram route.
