For when coffee shop hopping just doesn't cut it
The pandemic totally changed the way we work, with home working now the norm for many people. But if home isn’t quite cutting it and you’re looking for a change of scene, there are a whole host of co-working spaces in London to choose from.
Read on for our guide to the capital’s best, with individual desks, meeting rooms and office suites available. Prepare for some serious office envy.
Home House Studio
An off-shoot from beloved London members’ club Home House, Home House Studio is a stylish co-working club with the added benefit of a dynamic social scene. Here entrepreneurs, professionals and creatives find structure without stiffness, getting down to business across flexible lounges, private phone booths and meeting rooms by day, and flocking to the varied member events come evening. Think business talks, workshops, pitch nights, networking salons and light-touch social nights, all backdropped by a rotating art programme curated by MTArt Agency. And if it stretches into a late night, 35 chic bedrooms await. From ÂŁ50 p/m. homehouse.co.uk
12 Hay Hill
12 Hay Hill is based in the centre of Mayfair, and in keeping with its location, it offers what they call ‘club-working’: the marriage of a co-working space and a private members’ club. Its members are offered an exclusive office address, front of house staff, one of the best in-house restaurants and a welcoming bar. A roof terrace opens in the spring where the cigar concierge can tempt you with a range of cigars and matching rums, whiskies and brandies. Meetings and laptops are allowed in all the spaces from the mezzanine and the bar to the roof terrace and top floor lounge. There is also a quiet study room, and dedicated desks available for the more discerning worker. Members are also invited to the monthly events such as the wine club, cocktail club and cigar club as well as a smattering of talks with business influencers and leaders. For membership enquiries email [email protected]  or call 020 7952 6000
Fora
With a smattering of locations across London including Clerkenwell, Victoria and Spitalfields, Fora offers bright and airy workspaces with communal desk spaces, meeting rooms, phone pods and larger office spaces. With a dedicated wellness suite, reading room and ‘wet room’ boasting complimentary towels, toiletries, hairdryers and straighteners, the Central St and Fitzrovia locations are particularly luxe.

Uncommon
There are now four branches of Uncommon across London, in Borough, Highbury & Islington, Liverpool Street and Fulham. All are wellbeing-focused, and use space to promote a healthier way of working, drawing inspiration from Scandinavian design. Plants and greenery are dotted around, personalised music playlists are available and members can benefit from wellness perks like rooftop yoga and healthy juices. Their newest venue near Parsons Green even boats its own Ficus tree, as well as a Zen Garden, allowing al fresco working during the summer months. From £249pm, uncommon.co.uk
The Clubhouse
The main selling point of The Clubhouse is its private roof terrace, which boasts panoramic views of the city. Located on the 7th and 8th floors of One Angel Court, it attracts business types, with meeting rooms, flexible meeting areas and hot desks available. From £1200pa, theclubhouseoffices.com
Soho Works
The first co-working venture from the Soho House Group, Soho Works is unsurprisingly chic. Membership is separate to Soho House, although there are perks involved – and there’s direct access to 180 House for those who are members of both. Alongside the working areas, you have access to a library, a reading room, a café and a roof terrace, plus a workshop filled with arts and crafts and a 3D printer.

Huckletree has locations across the city, all with a quirky, friendly vibe – founder Gabriela Hersham’s vision was to create ‘a place where the best tech businesses work alongside each other, sharing knowledge and ideas.’ Members benefit from wellness perks like free yoga and running clubs, as well as meditation yurts, urban gardens and relaxing breakout areas. From ÂŁ175pm, huckletree.com
ARBORETUM
The greenest members club and co-working space in London is ARBORETUM near Leicester Square, founded by hospitality entrepreneur Ronald Ndoro. With meditation pods, a yoga studio, a plant-powered deli and an indoor forest, the space is designed to be a soothing space for stressed city dwellers to work, recharge and learn about sustainability.

In the heart of buzzy Hackney, the Fisheries is a trendy, eco-conscious co-working space, a chic halfway point between home and office with cosy light-filled interiors and up-cycled vintage furniture.
