A short biography of Forsyth Business Centres in Edinburgh

Forsyth Business centres have 24 serviced offices in convenient locations around the UK.  Here we will look at our serviced offices in Edinburgh and explore what the area surrounding the business centre has to offer.

Forsyth Business centres are situated right in the middle of George Street in Edinburgh, and as such it has fantastic views of the centre of the city, as well as Edinburgh Castle and the Firth of Forth.  Because of its central location there is easy access to all the amenities needed for a business owner, such as nearby banks, post offices and transport links like Waverley railway station.

The Centre itself is set in a Grade A listed Victorian building and has an entrance hallway which leads to an impressive reception area with a choice of stairs or modern lift to offices set over 4 floors.  Its recent refurbishment ensures a complementary mix between high quality interiors and fine architectural features.

Historically George Street was filled with financial companies, but in recent times it has turned to being very much at the hub of the Edinburgh commercial and social scene, and is also conveniently placed just to the north of Edinburgh’s main thoroughfare, Princes Street.

Where there used to be banks, there are now many smart shops, boutiques, cafes and wine bars along street level, with the upper levels of the grand Victorian buildings being occupied by office space, such as the modern serviced offices provided by Forsyth at Number 93.

Notable historic buildings along George Street include St Andrews and St George’s church (1784), the Assembly Rooms (1787) and the Church of Scotland Offices.  The Northern Lighthouse board also have their offices in George St in Edinburgh, from which they can remotely control over 400 lighthouses, beacons and buoys located around the coast of Scotland and the Isle of Man.
