Out of office

Members clubs and co-working spaces are increasingly on the rise, particularly after the pandemic encouraged people to adopt more flexible hours and locations. Such venues provide a range of work and leisure opportunities that better fit the modern era of remote and hybrid working, but it's worth doing your research to find the right one.

We spent the day at four different venues in London to get a taste of what's on offer. Whether you're looking for a space to collaborate, entertain clients, connect with like-minded people, or simply want a fantastically floral backdrop for Zoom calls - there's a space for you.

BEST FOR: Hot-desking

25EP, BELGRAVIA

In a nutshell: Flex by Grosvenor operates six flexible workspaces in Mayfair and Belgravia, including this three-floor venue named after its address at 25 Eccleston Place. Open 24/7, the venue offers a combination of open-plan seating and glass-walled private offices, which can accommodate from two to 40 people. Additionally, there are lounge areas, colourful break-out spaces, nine phone booths and design features such as exposed brickwork, an industrial ceiling and pops of purple and teal. Kitchens are well-equipped with large fridges, microwaves and dishwashers for those bringing a packed lunch.

Location: In Belgravia, a seven-minute walk from Victoria tube station. 25EP is part of Eccleston Yards, a courtyard with shops, restaurants and wellness facilities - ideal for business lunches or some R&R.

Perks: It's dog-friendly, has shower facilities, bike storage, a concierge, complimentary hot drinks, and social events.

Meeting rooms: Seven, with capacity from three to 70 people, as well as a 60-person auditorium.
