Taken from the plan with the most included. A cross does not always mean unavailable, it can mean sold separately, which we show as an extra.

Where Lonsdale Gate has addresses
Who Lonsdale Gate suits
Lonsdale Gate is a workspace operator, so the address comes attached to a real building with meeting rooms and desks. You pay for that whether you use it or not. It suits people who will occasionally want somewhere to sit or to meet a client, and is poor value if you only need the address.
There is a single address, so this only works if that location suits you.
What we noticed
Prices come from the price-list PDF (created September 2025), which is still live at its URL but no longer linked from the virtual offices page. The page itself still says 'Prices start from just £40+VAT per month'. Post forwarding is not included in any package: 'Post forwarding from your registered office is available at cost'. The two cheaper packages include parcel collection. The Mailing address only package is not a registered office. Only the VIP Package includes telephone answering. The Full and VIP packages include 2 hours of boardroom use a month; otherwise the meeting room is £30/hour and the boardroom £40/hour (half day £75/£110, full day £110/£160). A one-time £75 + VAT non-refundable set-up fee covers admin, compliance and ID checks. The same fee applies again on renewal or for extra ID checks. Contracts run for a minimum of 6 months, although the web page says 'no long-ter

From £39 a monthLonsdale Gate: common questions
How much does Lonsdale Gate cost?
Its cheapest published plan works out at about £40 a month. Check whether post forwarding and a director's service address are included, because on most plans in this market they are extra.
Can I use Lonsdale Gate as my registered office?
Only on a plan that explicitly includes registered office use. Several providers sell a business address that is not valid at Companies House, so check the plan table above rather than assuming.
What ID do I need to sign up?
Photo identification and a proof of address dated within the last three months. Every UK provider of registered office services must run these checks before acting for you.
