What to look for in a coworking space as a freelancer
Choosing a coworking space is a personal decision - what works for one freelancer won't work for another. Here are a few things worth thinking about before you commit:
Location and commute. The best coworking space in the world isn't worth much if getting there takes an hour. Look for somewhere on your natural route or close to home.
Community. Some spaces are buzzy and social, others are quiet and heads-down. Think about what kind of environment helps you do your best work.
Flexibility. Hot desking and coworking memberships typically run from £200 to £500 per month in London - but many spaces also offer day passes if you want to try before you buy. Always look for a trial option before signing up for a membership.
Amenities. Superfast wi-fi, bookable meeting rooms, phone booths for private calls and printing facilities are the baseline at any quality London coworking space. Think about what you actually need day to day and make sure it's included.
