Where W1 Virtual Office has addresses
Who W1 Virtual Office suits
W1 Virtual Office 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.

W1 Virtual Office: common questions
How much does W1 Virtual Office cost?
Its cheapest published plan works out at about £20 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 W1 Virtual Office 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.
Is W1 Virtual Office any good?
It scores 4.5 from 31 reviews on Trustpilot. Ratings in this market are thin for smaller operators, so treat a handful of reviews as weak evidence either way.
What ID do I need to sign up?
Valid passport photo ID plus proof of address dated within the last 3 months
Two minutes, no sign-up
