Old Street has gathered such a strong crowd of tech companies that it’s playfully been given the nickname Silicon Roundabout, mimicking Silicon Valley, California’s most famous tech hub. The area around Old Street has the highest concentration of tech companies in the city; with 50,000 tech employees and over 2000 startups located in the region, Old Street is unrivalled in its influence within the tech industry of London – it has developed into one of the most powerful and well-respected digital clusters on the globe.
Because of the high demand that Old Street has as a well-renowned location for tech and startups, office prices are at an all-time high. However, at Canvas we pride ourselves on providing great value, supporting budding startups and scale-ups that can contribute to the local community and surrounding businesses.

Shoreditch is a startup haven within East London – many of which are from the tech industry.
As an offshoot of Old Street, many tech companies also choose to settle in nearby Shoreditch. The area is home to a variety of creative brands that contribute to the entrepreneurial spirit so prevalent across East London.
As one of the most thriving business locations in London, Shoreditch attracts a range of companies of all sizes and from just about every sector.

Dalston
Dalston is a more affordable alternative to East London when it comes to renting an office space.
Over recent years Dalston has seen an influx of new tech businesses, making the region their home. A result of avoiding the higher rents of Old Street, this overspill has brought a myriad of benefits to the area, with new and trendy bars and cafes popping up constantly.
This city fringe has become a coveted place to work due to the substantially cheaper rents than the more well-known hotspots of East London. Plus, the presence of both Dalston Junction and Dalston Kingsland stations make the area easily accessible. The appeal to be a part of the Dalston tech community is ever-growing.
