Renting a therapy room in London is the single fastest way to test private-practice demand without committing to a lease. It's also the fastest way to waste £3,000 in your first year if you pick the wrong space.
Location matters more than square footage
Clients cancel on inconvenience. A slightly smaller room near a mainline station beats a bigger one 15 minutes' walk away. Prioritise step-free access, transport links, and a nearby cafe for waiting family members.
What to check on a viewing
- Soundproofing. Stand outside with the door shut while a colleague talks at normal volume. If you can hear them, so can your client's next appointment.
- Waiting area. A shared corridor is fine; a shared sofa with strangers is not.
- Cancellation terms. By-the-hour rooms should let you cancel with 24h notice without charge.
