Space Directory · Find the Right Space · We'll Show You the Way

What space are
you looking for?

A directory for finding the right space for the right purpose — residential, commercial, leisure, or storage. Not a property portal. A space-finder.

🏠 Residential 🏢 Commercial 🎨 Leisure 📦 Storage

Residential

Places to live.

House shares, short lets, live/work units, artist studios with living space. Finding the right home setup in London is hard. This makes it less hard.

House Shares
Rooms in shared houses — filtered by area, bills-included, pet-friendly, and personality fit. Better than Spareroom on a bad day.
Bills · Furnished · Area
Short Lets
1–6 month furnished lets. Between leases, relocating, in-between things. The gap the big portals don't serve well.
1–6 months · Furnished
Live / Work Units
The hybrid — legal live/work planning permission, usually light-industrial converted. For the freelancer who needs the space to blur.
Planning class · Square footage
Artist Studios with Residency
Subsidised studio space that comes with living accommodation — rare, competitive, and almost impossible to find without a network.
Subsidised · Application required

Commercial

Places to work.

Co-working desks, short-lease offices, meeting rooms, pop-up retail, production kitchens. The commercial real estate market is broken for small operators. This fixes the discovery problem.

Co-working Desks
Hot desks and dedicated desks by the day, week or month. Not WeWork. Smaller, better-located, more affordable independent spaces.
Day pass · Monthly · Hot desk
Short-lease Offices
Private office space on 1–12 month agreements. For the team that's outgrown a kitchen table but not ready for a 3-year lease.
1–12 months · Private · Team size
Meeting Rooms
Hourly meeting rooms in real buildings that aren't a Pret. Natural light. Whiteboard. AV. Somewhere you can actually think.
Hourly · AV · Capacity
Pop-up Retail Units
Short-lease retail space for product brands, D2C launches, and seasonal drops. The market Appear Here built, indexed better.
Weekly · Footfall data · Area
Production Kitchens
Commercial kitchen hire — licensed, compliant, with cold storage. For caterers, food startups, and ghost kitchen operations.
Licensed · Hourly · Overnight
Railway Arch Units
Class E commercial leisure arches — the engine of London's experiential economy. Lower rent than high-street. Arch Company listings curated.
Arch Company · Class E · Industrial

Leisure

Places to experience.

Photo studios, recording studios, rehearsal rooms, event venues, unusual spaces. The spaces behind London's creative life — curated by purpose, not postcode.

Photo Studios
Cyclorama walls, natural light studios, prop warehouses. Hourly and half-day rates. For content creators, brands, and photographers without a fixed studio.
Hourly · Cyclorama · Props
Recording Studios
From bedroom-standard isolation booths to SSL-console rooms. Hourly and block-booking. Not locked behind a music industry contact.
Hourly · Engineer optional · Capacity
Rehearsal Rooms
Band rehearsal, dance rehearsal, theatre rehearsal. Mirrors, sprung floors, PA systems. Often hidden behind the same postcodes as nothing interesting.
PA · Mirrors · Sprung floor
Event Spaces
Unusual venues for launches, supper clubs, private events. Not the Shoreditch House waiting list. Actual spaces that are actually available.
Capacity · Catering · Licence
Sports Facilities
Court hire, gym studio hire, swimming pool lane hire. For the club, the team, or the pop-up fitness concept looking for space by the session.
Court · Pool · Gym · Hourly
Unusual / Unique Spaces
Rooftops, tunnel sections, heritage buildings, decommissioned spaces. The ones that don't appear on any portal because they're not on any portal.
Heritage · Rooftop · Unusual

Storage

Places to put things.

Self-storage, archive space, warehouse units, secure document storage. Less glamorous than the other categories. Still hard to find the right one quickly.

Self-storage Units
Secure, climate-controlled units from locker size to room size. Moving, downsizing, or just running out of flat. Filtered by access hours and proximity.
Climate · 24hr access · Unit size
Archive Space
Document and record archive storage — compliant, managed, retrievable. For businesses with legal retention requirements and no space for filing cabinets.
Compliant · Retrieval SLA · Volume
Warehouse Units
Short-to-medium term warehouse space for product businesses. E-commerce inventory, samples, seasonal stock. Loading bay access noted.
Loading bay · Sq ft · Short lease
Secure Document Storage
GDPR-compliant document storage with shredding and destruction services. For the professional who can't just throw the filing cabinet in the skip.
GDPR · Shredding · Collection

How it works

We'll show you the way.

Three steps from "I need a space" to "I found one."

01
Tell us what you need
Category, area, size, duration, and any specific requirements. The more specific, the better the match. Vague gets vague back.
02
Browse matched spaces
Curated listings filtered to your criteria. Not a firehose of irrelevant results. Real spaces with real availability and real contact details.
03
Book or enquire directly
No middleman markup. Book directly with the space owner or connect directly to enquire. Spacey Places facilitates the find, not the fee.

If you have unused commercial, leisure or storage space — list it. Spacey Places connects you with exactly the right kind of occupier for exactly the right duration.

No long-form portals. No agent fees for listing. Just a clean profile that shows up when someone searches for exactly what you have.
