Co-working for one isn't so fun: hot-desking and co-working flexible options near you

Arrow down blue

We'll be the first to admit it: 2020 and its remote-working challenges have been, well, challenging. From loneliness to lack of motivation to parent / caring responsibilities, the UK and beyond's White-collar workforce has been stuck between a rock and a hard place. 

But maybe work in itself isn't the meaty part of the problem. The Ford European Commuter Survey found that for over 5000 respondents in major cities across Europe, "the journey to work causes more stress than their actual jobs (or even the dentist)." It is the anxiety around commuting and the spread of COVID-19 that stops people wanting to return to work, rather than the desire to WFH(work from home) full-time.

Workers would like to see flexible working patterns put in place. A mix of WFH and working from the office, but without the commute. 

Put simply: workers would like to see flexible working patterns put in place. A mix of WFH and working from the office, but without the commute. 

Here's the thing: going to the office doesn't have to equal a big commute. In fact, we've seen a rise in demand for co-working spaces to rent on an ad-hoc basis in the last few months. 

Co-working and hot-desking options are popping up far and wide in what have previously been considered suburban parts of London. 

With this in mind, we've put together some areas that are piquing your interest and present you with some hot-desking, day passes, and flex membership working options a little closer to home. Here they are, alphabetically:
