Top 10 Cowork Spaces In North London

Ieva Gudaite

3rd September 2021

North London boasts some of the city’s best coworking spaces, all with excellent transport links and just moments away from some of the most exciting areas to live and work in that London has to offer.  From the famous music scene of Camden Town to amazing restaurants, markets, and two of the best football teams in the world – Tottenham Hotspur and Enfield Town – North London has something for everyone.

Note: Here's the deal. We're a coworking provider ourselves. We think we're great, but we still want to give you a rundown of some of the great other spaces North of the river. Mainly because we'd like you to go to them, then compare them with our London Bridge sites, and realise that they don't compare.

Runway East Finsbury Park

Located in North London, our Finsbury Park site is a converted warehouse turned joyful workspace for high-growth teams. Just 3 minutes from the underground, members can choose between dedicated desks or private offices for teams of 1–23; both options are all-inclusive and fully serviced with no hidden fees.

With great transport links, an outdoor terrace, and plenty to do in the surrounding area, we’ve found the perfect home for your business. Plus, our incredible perks such as cake Wednesday, Friday drinks, and regular socials are guaranteed to make great teams happier.

Here's what the founder of Streetbees had to say about us:

We can't underestimate the impact of the connections we've made.
