A popular new take on a traditional workspace format.

We first published this page about premium coworking spaces in London in 2022 as the demand for various forms of coworking space increased.

We have updated it this year as demand increases further and the choice of options grows.

Most luxury office providers in London provide a range of coworking desk space solutions from Dedicated Desks and Hot Desks for remote business owners and hybrid working team members, to Bespoke Corporate Coworking Space solutions, all with optional extras such as virtual office services and meeting and collaboration space rentals.

If you would like a detailed chat about the options that may best suit your unique needs, please do get in touch.

The concept of coworking has become a very popular flexible workspace option in recent years. The model of individuals or small teams working within a shared space has been around, in various formats, for many years but its popularity grew exponentially in the decade up to 2020, with some coworking space providers now boasting over 100,000 members within their membership schemes.

The popularity has been boosted by companies experimenting with flexible hybrid working models post-pandemic.

A coworking space is one in which individuals use an individual desk in a communal space in which services such as power, lighting, business-grade Wi-Fi, professional printing and copying equipment, kitchen facilities and so on, are shared.

Traditionally, coworking space has been used by individuals, freelancers, small teams and startups because of the ease of access to a professional working environment without large fixed business operating costs, the flexibility, the shared energy and culture, and the networking opportunities. In more recent years, the market has seen an evolution in user type – as well as the existing audience, small and medium-sized companies and larger corporate companies are starting to integrate coworking space into their real estate portfolio – large companies such as Dell, EY, GE, KPMG, Merck, and McKinsey & Co. are utilising co-working spaces for the same reasons that attracted original users, but also to help them to attract younger staff, and to reduce their overall carbon footprint.

Certain flexible workspace brokerages provide access to co-working spaces to suit all budgets in all locations. For instance, The Office Providers CoWorking Space Search provides access to the majority of co-working space providers in all markets globally.

We, however, only list premium co-working spaces in London to suit a slightly higher budget.

The existing market for coworking space continues to grow due to the continued rise in self-employment, the continued improvements in mobile technology and connectivity, and the increased demand for flexibility, however, with a new audience of SMEs and corporate players wanting to incorporate coworking into their business models, the coworking space market is due to soar in the coming years.
