# HQ Book House

Dorking is known for a chicken. The Dorking breed, with its five toes, is older than the town's modern commuters, and its cockerel is still a local emblem. The town is also the gateway to the Surrey Hills, with Box Hill on its doorstep, and it holds the Denbies vineyard, the largest in England. HQ Book House, Glebeland Centre, Vincent Lane, RH4 3HW, is where the working side of Dorking lives: a business park in the town with shops, cafés and light industrial units around it.

HQ describes a building that offers flexible workspace across three floors, with open-plan offices, partitionable spaces and ancillary facilities, so a business can start small and add rooms as it grows. The listing names a lounge area, a gym and meeting rooms. Inside, you can work in modern offices, book meeting rooms and use flexible coworking areas, with high-speed internet and professional support. HQ also says the centre could expand into the neighbouring building in the future, which is a quiet signal for a growing company: the same address may offer more room without a move.

The location is easy to explain. Dorking West station is 0.7 kilometres away, according to HQ, on the line that links Surrey towns such as Redhill and Guildford, and the town's other stations have services towards London. The centre has ample parking, a rarity for the centre of a Surrey town, and the Glebelands Centre around it has shops, cafés and light industrial amenities for daily needs. Reigate, Leatherhead, Guildford and Horsham are all reachable by road for client visits across the county.

Who is it for? Dorking's economy rests on professional services, creative businesses, construction and building trades, health and wellbeing practices, and a large number of small firms that serve affluent households across Mole Valley. Accountants, architects, surveyors, solicitors, financial advisers, interior designers and tradespeople who run a business from a van find the combination of parking and meeting rooms attractive. Remote employees of London companies who live in the Surrey Hills and prefer not to commute five days a week can use the coworking space.

What is the character of the building? It is an office block in a business park, not a period house on the high street, and that is a good thing for many users: easy parking, fast internet and a kitchen, but no tourists in the doorway. If your clients enjoy a walk through the old town, the town centre is within reach, but the building itself is practical.

Ask on a visit which floors are free, how the partitionable spaces work, who runs the gym and when, and how many spaces your team can park in. Ask also whether the neighbouring building is already available and whether a business address can be used for registered offices.

Dorking has another quiet advantage for a growing business: the labour market. Many professionals who live around Dorking and in the Mole Valley would rather work within reach of home than take a train to London every day. A company that recruits locally can offer a short journey, a car park and a pleasant town at lunchtime as part of the package. Add the country walks of the Surrey Hills for team days, and you have a base that helps with hiring as well as with meetings, which is worth testing when you tour the building with your own staff in mind.

The price depends on the room, the term and availability on your dates. CoworkingView does not set it and cannot promise availability. Ask with your team size and start date, and compare the offer with other options in Surrey before you decide.
