If you’re fed up of working from home, aren’t quite ready to head back into the office or are looking to embark on your own business venture, a co-working space may just be for you.
London boasts some of the coolest co-working spots in the world, from stylish interiors courtesy of Uncommon to working sky high up at the Shard. We’ve rounded up 11 of our favourites.
Kindred
Kindred, the west London members’ club, is built on a foundation of community spirit. Despite being a members’ club, the powerhouse company is dedicated to bringing people together, through both work and play, and their co-working space is fused together through a desire to connect through skills and ideas, eating and sharing.
Whether you’re self employed, freelance or are looking for an alternative to working from home while your office is closed for the foreseeable, grab yourself a membership and become part of the close-knit community. Running until 31st July, you can get a membership for £1,200, or going forward the annual membership fee is £1,680, plus £60 for co-working add ons.

Meanwhile their bold decorated Huckletree West location helps to inspire productivity through its creative spaces and their no-tech Meditation Yurt is a must visit for when you need a break from typing all day.
