Serviced Apartments in the City of London for Banking, Legal, Insurance & Extended Business Stays
Managed accommodation sourcing in the Square Mile for financial services, legal teams, and corporate stays near Bank, Liverpool Street, and Moorgate.
The City of London — the Square Mile — is the historic and financial heart of London, home to the Bank of England, Lloyd's of London, the London Stock Exchange, and hundreds of global financial and professional services firms. Its compact geography and excellent transport connections make it a prime location for corporate accommodation.
Jigsaw sources serviced apartments within and around the Square Mile, covering the key business clusters around Bank, Moorgate, Liverpool Street, Aldgate, and the Barbican. Whether you need a studio for a visiting analyst or a group block for a project team embedded at a City law firm, we match the accommodation to the specific office location and commute pattern.

Why the City of London for Corporate Accommodation
The City is London's most connected district, served by Bank, Moorgate, Liverpool Street, Cannon Street, and Fenchurch Street stations — plus the Elizabeth line at Liverpool Street. Walking from accommodation to office is often possible, making the City ideal for high-intensity, early-start roles.
Serviced apartment supply within the Square Mile itself is limited, but strong availability exists in the immediately surrounding areas — Aldgate, Shoreditch, the Barbican, and Clerkenwell — all within 10-15 minutes walk of most City offices. Jigsaw sources across this wider zone to balance proximity with quality and value.
