A Growing Destination for Business
As London rents continue to rise, businesses are looking for more cost-effective options that don’t compromise on quality or access. Margate offers both.
The town has become a hub for independent businesses, small studios, and remote teams. There’s a steady increase in demand for flexible, functional space – and a shift in how people think about where work happens.
With more people able to work from anywhere, the focus is shifting toward places that offer good infrastructure, space to grow, and a better overall work-life balance.
Well-Connected, Without the Cost
One of the key advantages of Margate is its direct rail connection to London. With high-speed trains, the town is just 90 minutes from the capital, making it easy to stay connected to suppliers, clients, and city-based staff – without being based in the city itself.
The location is also well placed for university towns like Canterbury and Cambridge, giving businesses access to a skilled and emerging workforce.
For many, it’s the best of both worlds: the benefits of a coastal town, combined with the accessibility of a major urban hub.
A Practical Choice for the Long Term
Margate’s appeal isn’t just a trend. With continued investment in the town, a growing business community, and more people moving from London to the coast, the local economy is on the rise.
As more businesses consider life outside the capital, towns like Margate are becoming more than just alternatives – they’re emerging as smart, forward-thinking locations in their own right.
