You can do a quick internet trawl and select any virtual office address that suits you. It really depends on if you may want them to provide any further services in the future.

There is some useful information in this article.

there Are many virtual office companies out there. I am going to use one for the same reasons to keep my home address private. You have had a suggestion already which is one I have been looking at too. When I put this question out it caused a stir with some on here disagreeing with not using my home address but one size don’t fit all.

It depends on the type of business. A virtual address can work well for some but not for others. If you just want to hide your address on CH use your accountant or solicitor. You need someone reliable to manage the letters. But if your business is online and you need Google to trust you a virtual address isn’t the best move.

This is a bit of a non-answer I'm afraid, but unfortunately, there isn't really a one size fits all service for this.
As well as there being dedicated companies that are offering out their offices for use as their primary business objective (like https://thelondonoffice.com/), almost all large formation agencies (first couple of pages on Google) in the UK offer their addresses out to companies that they've formed and companies they haven't formed alike.
The long and short of it is, you need to think about what sort of service you need.
Do you need an address in the West End? Central London? Manchester? Glasgow?
Do you need official letter forwarding only or are you willing to pay extra to get forwarding of all mail, parcels included?
Are you going to be buying an addressing package that also includes other secretarial services?

As a tl;dr, go through the first few results on Google for "virtual office address", all of them are reputable and all of them offer varying services at different price points in different parts of the UK.

@Ethan39 - agreed, but it really does depend on your business. Some really need a real address. For example, if you are a plumber people expect to see local address. If the ‘see outside’ image on your GMB listing is an anonymous office block you won’t convert as well at Pete whose image is his van parked outside his house.

These days the wise companies do a google maps lookup and have a look at the property if it's a home all well and good, if office block with name showing ok, if any indication of virtual office then query why. Millions of Builders, window cleaners, Handymen/ women, ebay sellers etc work from home with no problem

Landlords normally don't mind companies trading from home as long as its office type work and not making inconvenience to neighbours or noise just ask and get permission
