4 of the coolest flexible work spaces in Hammersmith

NearU

22 Mar, 2022

One of West London's commercial hotspots, Hammersmith is one of the most sought after areas in the city.

And it's not surprising, considering the area is well connected via Tube, bus, and train line. It's also situated within walking distance of some of London's most famous attractions, like Hyde Park and the Lyric Theatre.
But if you aren't lucky enough to be able to afford a permanent office in this location, never fear!

Hammersmith boasts a whole host of wonderful coworking spaces. Whether you're looking for a cool indie spot or a classic corporate chain, we've got you covered here at NearU. Read on to find out more about some of our favourite flexible workspaces...

For holistic wellbeing: Missionworks - from £25pp


A plant-lovers paradise, Missionworks is one of the most unique spaces we list on NearU. Converted from an old chapel using reclaimed and recycled materials, the building has earned Grade II heritage status and now plays home to 7000 square-feet of coworking space, meeting rooms and even a hanging garden.

Inspired by the philosophy of Jean Piaget, Missionworks pledge to be more than just a workspace - they aim to improve their community's mental and physical wellbeing. By providing a nurturing physical space filled with natural light and a plethora of plants, they work to create meaningful connections between members, which results in overall individual improvement.

That's why you'll regularly find yoga, meditation, and cultural events taking place at this space. Why not pop along to their Brazilian night in the hanging garden on 23rd March, or book your slot at their regular Satria yoga practice one evening after work?

Move your body at Pilates West

Why not continue your pursuit of wellness outside of work too? Just around the corner from Missionworks on the Aldensley Road you'll find Pilates West, a studio offering pilates and fitness sessions. Although pilates often gets lumped in as a past-time for mums and young women, the practice has endless benefits for all genders. Did you know that employees who exercise during the working week experience up to 72% higher levels of productivity and time management? Now those are the kind of figures we like to see here at NearU.

For meetings: TOG, One Lyric Square - from £33pp*


Moving from the meditative to the managerial, One Lyric Square, a flexible work space offered by The Office Group, resembles a more recognisable office. Spread over 14 floors, this space is just a quick walk from Hammersmith station. Amenities include private offices, an on-site gym, roof terrace and cafe, as well as a number of fully-equipped meeting rooms.

The space gets its name from its close proximity to the Lyric Theatre, which is overlooked by the aforementioned roof terrace. While you may not be able to catch a performance from this perch, it does make for a great place to catch up with colleagues during the warmer summer months. But even inside there's no risk of this office feeling dark and dingy. Huge windows welcome in plenty of light to keep you feeling bright and alert throughout the day.

*this price is reflective of a meeting-room only booking.

Catch a show at the Lyric Theatre

When working so close by it'd be a crime not to stop into the Lyric Theatre. One of Hammersmith's most famous cultural institutions, the Lyric was established 125 years ago and has since been named as a favourite hang out of some of the world's finest writers, directors and performers. From A. A. Milne to Harold Pinter, theatre royalty has always graced their stalls. Right now, you'll find them showing a number of wonderful productions, including Scandaltown from the award-winning writer Mike Bartlett.

For startups: Huddle - from £4pp


This quirky space is a hub for young entrepreneurs, creatives and freelancers. While their space is perfect for anyone on a budget, your experience at Huddle will be anything but.

Huddle's main aim is to help nurture and grow your business, then flex to suit your needs. Start out with an idea in their coworking space, then expand to a private office once you're ready.
