Liverpool
Liverpool has become a very attractive location for businesses seeking high-quality, flexible office space. Serviced offices in Liverpool—furnished, managed, ready-to-use workspaces—are widely available across the city, from the waterfront and city centre to more suburban/industrial fringe areas.
Transport & Travel Connections: Liverpool’s Edge
One of Liverpool’s strong selling points for serviced offices is its excellent connectivity—both by rail and road. Being well-connected makes a big difference for commuting, meeting clients, staff access, logistics, etc. Here are the key transport advantages, especially relative to serviced offices.
By Train / Rail
Merseyrail network: The city centre is served by multiple Merseyrail stations (Moorfields, James Street, Central, etc.), which give good local and suburban connectivity.
Mainline services: Liverpool Lime Street station connects to England’s major cities. For example, trips to London, Manchester, Birmingham etc.
Proximity: Many serviced offices are very near to train stations. For example, the serviced offices at 20 Chapel Street are just a ~5-minute walk to Moorfields and James Street stations.
Regional access: Trains make commuting viable from many parts of Merseyside and beyond, making Liverpool a hub for people living in outlying areas or smaller towns. The presence of frequent services and the local rail infrastructure helps.
By Motorway / Road
Liverpool is served by multiple major motorways: M62, M6, M57, M58, among others. These give direct or easy access from many parts of the North West and beyond.
For offices on the outskirts or in fringe areas, good road access helps for staff commuting by car, deliveries, or clients coming from further away. For instance, ABC Liverpool is only about 10 minutes from the motorway network.
Parking: Some serviced offices offer free parking or unlimited parking for visitors/staff, which is a major benefit where rail or bus access may not be ideal.
What Makes This Combination Powerful for Businesses
Putting it together, here are the advantages of choosing a serviced office in Liverpool, especially with strong rail + motorway links:
Flexibility & choice of location
You can pick a showroom/seaside-waterfront spot, a heritage building in the centre, or a more affordable fringe location—without sacrificing transport access.Reduced commuting time / broader labour pool
Good rail links + motorway access mean that staff can live further out, but still commute in easily. This widens where you can recruit from, and helps with retention.Client / partner access
If your clients or partners travel in by train or come from elsewhere, being near a station makes meetings easier. Similarly, good motorway links help for visitors coming by car.Logistics & business travel
If your business involves shipping, deliveries, or travel to other cities, having motorway access (for vans/trucks) and mainline rail links helps with efficiency.Prestige & comfort
Offices near prime stations or in central, well-connected areas improve brand image. Also, the amenities, ease of access, and reduced stress of getting there matter for staff satisfaction.Cost savings & predictability
With serviced offices you often get utilities, maintenance, internet, support bundled in. If the transport side is solid, you may reduce travel allowances, reduce staff lateness (which also has cost) etc.
Considerations / Things to Check
While Liverpool offers many advantages, businesses should still check for:
Exact station proximity: a “5 minute walk” from one centre might be a 10-15 minute haul in bad weather or with luggage.
Peak-time congestion on motorways. Even if motorway access is good in principle, traffic around the city (or on the M62 etc) can affect reliability.
Parking availability & cost: free or plentiful parking is rare in deep city-centre locations; fringe/off-centre locations usually offer more.
Public transport frequency & hours: how late are trains/buses? Do services drop off on weekends/nights?
Cost of travel for employees: the total commuting cost (money + time) matters. Even with good transport links, if staff have high fares or long journeys, that can erode the benefits.
Conclusion
Liverpool is a strong contender if you’re seeking serviced office space with excellent transport links. The city combines:
Good breadth of serviced office choices (modern, historic, central, fringe)
Close proximity to major train lines and stations (local & national)
Strong motorway access enabling road travel and logistics
For many businesses, this means flexibility, broader catchment for staff, easier meetings with clients, and improved efficiency.
