How to Choose the Right Coworking Space that Aligns with Your Business Goals

Finding the right coworking space is more than just securing a desk and a chair—it’s about selecting an environment that aligns with your work style and business objectives. Coworking spaces offer flexible solutions for professionals seeking a productive environment with the added benefits of networking, amenities, and a sense of community. Choosing a coworking space that suits your business can significantly improve your productivity, networking potential, and overall work experience.

Selecting a coworking space involves careful consideration. Failing to choose the right one can lead to distractions, a lack of belonging, missed networking opportunities, or logistical challenges that prevent smooth business operations. Making an informed decision is essential and ensures a positive experience.

Here are our tips to help you find a coworking space that matches your business requirements:

1. Reviews: The Importance of Social Proof

Online reviews provide valuable insights into the quality of service, amenities, and overall experience at a coworking space. Platforms like Google Reviews and TrustPilot offer a broad spectrum of opinions.

Best way to truly understand the atmosphere and community of a coworking space, is trying it first-hand. With a Landmark Day Pass, you can experience our coworking spaces, interact with other coworkers, and get a genuine feel of the environment. This approach provides a more reliable perspective than solely relying on online reviews.

3. Industry Relevance: Surround Yourself with the Right People

Being in a coworking space that aligns with your industry can open doors; meeting the right people at the right time leads to growth opportunities but you must be there… The location of a coworking space can significantly impact the type of industries it attracts. For example, certain buildings, such as

• The Royal Exchange, an iconic property representing London worldwide that is Grade 1 listed for its historic significance. It hosts recruitment companies, and businesses from the Tech, Finance and Accounting industries.
• 110 Bishopsgate hosts grade A office space and is a key feature on London’s financial district and skyline. It hosts the sky-high restaurants of Sushi Samba and Duck and Waffle, and is home to Europe’s largest privately owned aquarium. Finance and legal industry businesses are attracted to this building.
• Park Street is an elegant, converted townhouse in Mayfair, which appeals to professionals seeking a more formal environment. We see asset management, property, investment and finance companies settle here.

All our buildings are ‘Landmark Spaces’ in their own right, and locations like:

• The Space Holborn offer a more casual vibe with its location lining the City of London to the West end, and with the Royal Courts of Justice and Inns of Court nearby, those in the legal profession find Holborn convenient.
• The Space Regent Street sits on the most iconic curved street and our workspace is nestled between fashion, dining and wellness & lifestyle shops. To serve the area, this location attracts recruitment, tech, and communications businesses.
