A big leasing from Lloyds Bank added to a bumper final quarter in the London property market, closing a year that also illustrated the growing clout of flexible office providers.

London office take-up totalled 13.2 million square feet over the year, according to a report from agency CBRE. That figure was up 7% on 2016, and was lifted by a number of large leasings — there were seven deals of more than 100,000 sq ft in the final three months of the year, more than in any quarter since the start of 2010.
