Central London Office Figures July 2026

• Take-up concentrated into fewer, larger transactions in July, with 758,800 sq ft leased across just 40 deals, the lowest count in a year but the highest average deal size.
• Banking and finance is re-emerging as the primary demand driver, overtaking the creative industries in year-to-date leasing for the first time since February.
• Availability rose for the first time since April, lifting the vacancy rate to 6.6%, only marginally above its long-term average, though supply remains 16% below the level recorded a year ago.
• Investment slowed sharply to £125m in July, yet the rolling 12-month total held at £6.6bn, marginally ahead of the same period last year.
