Reflex's Wardour Street Business Centre Refurbished For The Modern Soho Ask five people to define the true nature of London's Soho and you'll probably get five very different answers. However, the vocabulary used nowadays is highly likely to contain words like "vibrant", "chic", "eclectic", "lively", "exciting", and "buzzing".

"Quintessentially London" is one description that really fits the bill.

Additionally, and especially for new clients we regularly invite them to our Marble Arch centre, initially to meet and build rapport with the team, who will be running their Virtual Office services, but subsequently to attend social events to meet and potentially partner with our resident clients and ultimately and quite correctly to reinforce that they are a very important part of our Clarendon family. ...(read more) For more information about our London offices, contact Angela Jude on 0203 752 6666 or email her at: marblearch@clarendonbc.co.uk
