Workspace is London's leading owner and operator of flexible workspace,
currently managing 4.3 million sq. ft. of sustainable space at 65 locations in
London and the South East.

 

We are home to some 4,000 of London's fastest growing and established brands
from a diverse range of sectors. Our purpose, to give businesses the freedom
to grow, is based on the belief that in the right space, teams can achieve
more. That in environments they tailor themselves, free from constraint and
compromise, teams are best able to collaborate, build their culture and

We are inherently sustainable - we invest across the capital, breathing new

flatten London's working map. We work closely with our local communities to
ensure we make a positive and lasting environmental and social impact,
creating value over the long term.
