# HQ Princess House

The Square is the historic heart of Shrewsbury, the open market place where the town's trade has gathered for centuries. On its edge stands the Old Market Hall of 1596, now a cinema, a statue of Robert Clive keeps watch, and in the middle of it sits Princess House, the office building at The Square, SY1 1JZ. The building dates from the early 1970s, when it replaced the nineteenth-century Shire Hall designed by Sir Robert Smirke, which gives the site a layered history of civic life. Today it is a business address in the very middle of the town, overlooking the main square.

Shrewsbury is the county town of Shropshire and the birthplace of Charles Darwin, who was born here in 1809. The River Severn makes a great loop around the centre, so the town has the shape of a peninsula, and its medieval street plan, half-timbered buildings, abbey and castle are intact. The local economy rests on professional services, manufacturing and engineering, tourism and hospitality, and the public sector, with the Shropshire Council and large health employers nearby.

Getting here is uncomplicated. Shrewsbury railway station is a short walk away and offers direct links to Wolverhampton, Birmingham and Manchester, as well as to Wales. The bus station is nearby, and the building has on-site parking, which in a medieval town centre is a real convenience. The town is also on the road between the West Midlands and the Welsh coast, so clients from either direction find it convenient.

What can you rent? The operator offers a collaborative coworking space for people who need a desk a few days a week, and private meeting rooms if you prefer a more private setup. All meeting rooms are fully equipped with flatscreen TVs, presentation equipment and video conferencing technology, and are suitable for pitches and training sessions. A barista-style coffee from the fully stocked kitchen, or a stroll to one of the many cafes nearby and along the banks of the Severn, makes a good break. A lounge area is also listed.

Who is it for? Solicitors, accountants and surveyors who like a town-centre address with character. Engineering and manufacturing consultants who serve Shropshire's firms. Tourism and hospitality businesses that need an office and a room for suppliers. Public-sector contractors working with the council and health trusts. Recruitment and training companies. Entrepreneurs from the surrounding villages who want to meet clients at a good address. Companies from Birmingham or Manchester that want to test the Shropshire and mid-Wales market.

The setting adds to the day. Lunch is a walk away, the river path is a short stroll, and the shops and independent restaurants of the old centre are on the doorstep.

Practical questions are worth asking at a viewing. The square is a pedestrian-friendly place with a busy calendar of markets and events, so ask how deliveries, parking permits and visitor arrivals are handled on market days. Check whether the meeting rooms face the square, since the view of the old market hall is a selling point for client meetings, and ask which rooms have the best natural light. For a firm that wants a long-term base, ask how a private office is priced against a pair of hot desks, and how soon a bigger room could be arranged if the team grows. A town-centre serviced office is a flexible tool, and the best way to use it is to tell the operator exactly how many people you expect to host on a typical week.
