The Hoxton
Southwark, London
In brief: A co-working space with a luxurious member’s club
feel for £30 per day
Hotels around the world might be scrabbling to accommodate the
new hoards of freelance workers, but The Hoxton were there first.
In February, they somewhat hubristically launched their six-floor
coworking space Working From_ in Southwark. Long story short: it’s now
open again, and day visitors can get access for just £30. It has
all the humdrum office amenities you could need – photocopiers,
soundproof booths and coffee/tea stations, being three – but the
vibe is more luxury member’s club than co-working space. Kitchen
counters are rippled with marble, work spaces (day beds, sofas,
streams of desks) are segmented by towering fronds or curated
bookshelves and barista-made coffee can be ordered via an app and
served to your desk.
