Central London's Capital Comeback

Central London’s office market enters 2026 with renewed confidence but what’s driving it?

In this episode of Talking Capital Markets, Daryl Perry is joined by Martin Lay, Chair of London Capital Markets, and Chris Bennett, Head of London Capital Markets, to break down a standout end to 2025 and the shifting dynamics now shaping the year ahead.

From a 95% surge in Q4 investment activity to the return of overseas capital and an increasingly liquid debt landscape, the team explore why investors are re‑engaging, where the biggest opportunities could emerge, and how the Central London market is repositioning after a historic low.

With insights on major transactions, private credit growth, development viability and the risk‑adjusted return outlook, this episode provides a clear and data‑driven view of where the cycle may go next.
