Great location in an upcoming area of the city. Excellent Subway and train connections to downtown and Heathrow Airport. Office itself is high-profile and contains all the items to book for a day (as we did) or use it as your regular office.

I was visiting from the USA and Davinya Cooper could not have been more helpful. She was great getting me set up with a confidential and urgent project. Her customer service and general approach was brilliant. Thanks Davinya...

Always love the wework offices, great time usually just before the rush of the morning, something about having the whole place to yourself in the main area is very relaxing

The vibe of this place is amazing and I'd definitely work in this space if I'd get the opportunity to do so. The reason I visited this place was because of a company that works in this space and they gave a very fun presentation about themselves, the work they do, and everything around it. Sidenote, there is beer and a gaming area apparently. Gaming area is 7th floor, but I mightbe wrong.
