Best for team building

If your team has knocked a project out of the park or you want to welcome some new starters, serviced offices in Shoreditch put you within easy reach of some of London’s most suitable attractions.

Flight Club

Head to Flight Club on Worship Street to enjoy sharing boards, cocktails and a spot of flying tungsten. There’s a hi-tech scoring system so you don’t have to do any maths and an all-new action-replay cam, so you and your team can relive the moment you finally hit your double ad-infinitum.

Ballie Ballerson

Make some memories with your team in Shoreditch’s famous ball-pit cocktail bar. Ballie Ballerson features over one million balls spread across two ball pits. Throw in cocktails, neon lights and retro beats for team morale-boosting on steroids.

Bounce

Despite what you might think, not every Shoreditch office space has an in-house ping-pong table — but that doesn’t matter when Bounce is just a short hop away. It features 17 ping pong tables, a cocktail bar and pizza restaurant, all housed within a neon-lit basement.

Best for out-of-office meetings

While Shoreditch is a cultural hotspot with plenty to do at any given time, it’s also an area of London where people work hard to play hard. Luckily, there are plenty of prestigious venues perfect for out-of-office meetings when you want to really impress your clients.

Nobu

Nestled amidst the energy of London’s creative district, you’ll find the more serene, sub-level restaurant at Nobu. Here, you’ll feel like you’re in London and Tokyo at the same time, with a range of classic Japanese cuisines as well as some inspired by the local vibrant scene.

Gloria

If your clients like things on a grand scale, head to the truly huge Italian trattoria in Shoreditch called Gloria. Here you’ll find two lavish dining rooms, upstairs and down, each serving up classic Italian food with a buzzy vibe.

Galvin La Chapelle

This smart French restaurant from the Galvin brothers serves Michelin-starred modern French cuisine inside a former chapel in Spitalfields. Whether it’s a working lunch or an after-hours client meeting, Galvin La Chapelle brings the ‘wow’ factor.

Best for wellbeing

A healthy work-life balance has become a priority for many modern employees, and with flexible office space in Shoreditch, you can give your team easy access to the nearby green spaces and wellness amenities.

Spitalfields City Farm

Whether it’s team outings or quiet lunches in the fresh air, the farmyard and gardens at Spitalfields City Farm provide an oasis of calm in the heart of east London.

Weaver’s Fields

Weaver’s Fields is the perfect green space for a lunchtime jog or a walking meeting. It boasts outdoor sports pitches for team activities and a nature conservation area and woodland walk so you can slow the pace down.

Shoreditch gyms

Wherever your service office in Shoreditch is located, you can be sure a great gym is never too far away. BLOK Shoreditch offers classes across 10 different disciplines, from barre to yoga, while Psycle Shoreditch specialises in its flagship Ride workouts as well as strength classes and reformer.
