Holborn – widely referred to as Midtown in the commercial property world – sits between the City, the West End and Bloomsbury, and benefits from the character of all three without being defined by any of them.

The Inns of Court, Lincoln's Inn Fields and the network of lanes and courtyards around Chancery Lane give the area a historical depth and architectural richness that sets it apart from more uniform commercial districts, while the main commercial buildings along Kingsway and High Holborn offer floorplates and specifications that compete with the City.

The legal sector is the backbone of Midtown, and the concentration of barristers' chambers, law firms and legal services businesses around the Inns of Court gives the neighbourhood a professional weight that is hard to match.

Alongside legal, there is a strong presence of financial services, professional services, media and a growing number of technology businesses, all drawn by the location's connectivity and relative value compared to the West End.

Farringdon station – now one of London's best-connected interchanges, with the Elizabeth line, Thameslink and three Underground lines – has significantly improved accessibility for the whole neighbourhood. Holborn, Chancery Lane and Temple provide further coverage across the area.
