What makes a good office location?

The best office location balances three factors: geographic proximity to where your team lives, access to major transport hubs (tube, rail, bus), and proximity to amenities that attract employees to the office (restaurants, gyms, green space).

For hybrid teams, the critical metric is peak-day commute burden — the total travel time across everyone on your busiest day. Minimising this metric improves attendance, reduces attrition and makes office mandates achievable.

UK-specific considerations

For London-based teams, the Central Line, Elizabeth Line and Northern Line corridors offer the widest catchment area. For regional UK offices, proximity to a mainline rail station matters most. tendre's full Commute Analysis maps individual travel times by tube, rail and road — not just straight-line distance.
