Winter in Edinburgh New Town is in full swing. With the bustling Christmas markets full of holidaymakers, the occasional dip below zero degrees and Queen Street full of festive corporate gatherings, there’s no doubt the year 2025 is coming to an end.

There is another force at play…the scent of quiet, sober January ahead, motivating business to evaluate their strengths from the year gone by and plan for further success in 2026.

For companies seeking a professional base during this period, our private serviced offices in Edinburgh New Town offer truly excellent quality workspaces.

A Workspace Designed for Focus

As daylight shortens and temperatures drop, the environment you work in matters more than ever. At The Auction Rooms, private offices are designed to remove distraction and support serious work.

  • Fully managed, warm and ready-to-use offices

  • Secure, high-speed connectivity suitable for demanding workloads

  • Quiet, private spaces that allow teams to concentrate without interruption

Rather than adapting your work to fit the space, the space adapts to the way you work.

The Value of a New Town Address

Edinburgh New Town has long been associated with professionalism, discretion and credibility. A Queen Street address places your business at the heart of the city’s commercial life, while retaining a sense of composure and order that is often missing elsewhere.

Clients arrive easily. Teams commute efficiently. Meetings feel purposeful rather than hurried.

This is one of the reasons professional services firms, consultancies and growing businesses continue to choose the New Town as their base — particularly during the quieter, more reflective winter months.

  • Furnished private offices

  • Utilities, cleaning and building management

  • Professional reception and concierge support

  • Access to meeting rooms and shared amenities

The result is a seamless working experience — one that allows businesses to focus on outcomes rather than operations.
