Watford is quietly emerging as one of the UK’s most compelling locations for ambitious businesses. At the heart of this growth is Clarendon Road – a commercial address that combines accessibility, opportunity, and a thriving professional community.
We’re excited to announce the launch of our second FigFlex workspace in Watford – and we couldn’t think of a better location than Clarendon Road. A street steeped in history, and now transformed into a genuine office destination – it’s the perfect home for our latest site offering premium serviced offices.
A Brief History of Watford (Or: How We Got Here)
Once a market town and key transport junction thanks to the Grand Union Canal and the London and Birmingham Railway, Watford grew rapidly during the industrial revolution. In the 19th and 20th centuries, it became a centre for printing, brewing, and engineering; a place where things got made and moved.
Fast forward a few decades, and the town evolved again. Watford embraced its proximity to London, excellent transport links (hello, 20 minutes to Euston), and its ability to attract major employers. It became more than just a commuter base – it became a business hub in its own right.
Clarendon Road: From Residential to Remarkable
Clarendon Road started life as a residential street, but in the post war years, things began to change. As Watford expanded and modernised, the road gradually gave way to commercial development. Today, it’s a polished and professional strip lined with glass fronted HQs, global brands, tech firms, and innovative start-ups.
It’s been called the “spine” of Watford’s commercial district, and for good reason. With the town’s regeneration efforts and a multimillion-pound investment in infrastructure and office space development, Clarendon Road has become the go to location for ambitious businesses looking for flexible workspace in the area.
Enter FigFlex (Again): A New Kind of Workspace Expands in Watford
Our first Watford location set the tone, and now we’re doubling down. FigFlex Clarendon Road is scheduled for delivery in early 2026, building on the success of our original site and bringing nearly 500 desks of central London quality, without the wallet melting city centre price tag.
Why Clarendon Road? Because it represents everything FigFlex stands for: growth, connection, community. Spaces that work hard for the people inside them. All just 200m from Watford Junction.
Our newest building is designed for the businesses shaping Watford’s future. Whether you’re a one person powerhouse or a 100 strong team, our flexible serviced offices, meeting rooms, and coworking spaces come with the FigFlex promise: all inclusive pricing, seamless service, and genuinely great coffee.
Why Now? Why Here?
Because Watford is having a moment, and Clarendon Road is leading it. With huge redevelopment across the town, top tier talent looking for better work life balance, and businesses increasingly choosing quality over postcode prestige, our new site couldn’t be better timed.
