<p>WeWork, the office space community of creators, are coming to the UK, opening their first office in London Southbank this autumn. With 20+ locations and 20,000+ members worldwide, they’re creating a buzz &#8211; but what’s all the fuss about?</p>
<p>Having been a WeWork member in New York since September 2012 and first members in the Broadway ‘Labs’ Location when it opened, Pierre Wooldridge knows WeWork membership inside out. So we jumped at the chance to quiz him on what it’s really like to work at WeWork!</p>
<p>Pierre is a UX / UI Designer and the founder of mobile application and web design boutique <a href="http://www.allmakebelieve.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AllMakeBelieve LLC</a>. They develop beautiful iPhone apps with a strong emphasis on usability, with their latest release <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/forks-over-knives-the-recipes/id903911740?mt=8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Forks Over Knives &#8211; The Recipes”</a>, a mobile recipe app featured as Best New App in the Apple App Store, spending two weeks at #1 in the Food and Drink category. Pierre also recently consulted on UX / UI design for <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/fly-edit-videos-quickly./id853256272?mt=8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FLY</a>, a video-editing app featured as ‘Best New App’ by Apple in over 120 countries.</p>

<h3><strong>What first attracted you to WeWork?</strong></h3>
<p>The emphasis on community. I really dig the open-plan ‘Labs’ offices they have, which makes it incredibly easy to collaborate. I also love the amount of effort the Community Managers put into running events that are geared to bring people together.</p>
<p><a href="https://hubblehq.com/office-space-london?name=wework&amp;brand=wework" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img class="alignnone" src="https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/spaciousapp/blog_static/WeWork-Charging-Bull-9th-Floor-Lounge1.jpg" alt="WeWork office lounge with games table" width="1500" height="1000" /></a></p>
<p>There seems to be something happening all the time &#8211; whether it’s a happy hour, pitch contest, a lunch-and-learn (where a sponsor brings lunch and tells you about their product or service). And very often there’s something plainly fun like a scavenger hunt which is a great way to loosen everyone up. I’ve visited a lot of other co-working spaces and they just lack the soul that WeWork has.</p>
<p>I haven’t even mentioned Summer Camp &#8211; which is just crazy. They take 800 entrepreneurs to a boy &amp; girls camp in the Adirondacks (around 6 hours north of New York) for a long weekend which is chock full of activities. Rope climbing, sailing, presentations, workshops and all with an endless supply of alcohol &amp; live music. It’s like an entrepreneur’s music festival and an opportunity to meet peers in my industry on a personal level, unlike anything I’ve experienced before.</p>
<h3><strong>What’s the one thing that makes WeWork different?</strong></h3>
<p>This is a tough call. There are too many of them! Summer camp is one. The breathtaking design of the locations is another &#8211; when you see the expressions on the faces of people when they first walk into a WeWork office &#8211; it’s quite something. The endless kegs of beer on every floor are also great. But I think the community managers get my vote. We Work puts a lot of time into hiring the best people, and the community managers are an incredible bunch. They always go out of their way to make sure as a member you’re taken care of &#8211; or connected with anyone you want to be.</p>
<h3><strong>What does the WeWork community mean to you?</strong></h3>
<p>I think in some way the WeWork community is involved with every part of my business. My team of developers came through a friend I know at WeWork. A good number of my clients (big and small) have also in some way been related to contact at WeWork. This actually all came about when I started to run a user testing event there (called <a href="http://www.meetup.com/testtube" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Test Tube</a>) &#8211; where we bring together 20 companies each month to give and get feedback on each other’s ideas. Now I have more leads than I know what to do with… but I’m always keen to have more!</p>

<h3><strong>How do you take brain breaks in the office?</strong></h3>
<p>We eat lunch together, shoot aliens together (they have arcade machines here on our floor too). It’s also insanely easy to find someone to hang out or chat with after work as people tend to congregate around the beer kegs in the evening &#8211; or an event will be on.</p>
<h3><strong>Why should a Londoner consider WeWork?</strong></h3>
<p>It’s an experience unlike any I’ve seen before, particularly in the UK. The WeWork offices just add such a sense or professionalism to any business.</p>
<p>You’ll instantly tap into a community of friends you didn’t know you had, and potential clients just within the WeWork sphere.</p>
<p>WeWork (through the community but also the staff) can open up connections to all sorts of people you’d otherwise never get to meet. Whether it’s investors, evangelists, or just people who will pay for your product &#8211; it’s an entire bustling ecosystem all within one place.</p>
<h3><strong>What&#8217;s your favourite office tune?</strong></h3>
<p>Ah, that’s tough! Rather than one tune &#8211; I’ll recommend a site that sends me a playlist full of phenomenal music every week: <a href="http://noonpacific.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">noonpacific.com</a>. Enjoy!</p>

All Make Believe x HubbleHQ: How Working in WeWork Can Catapult Your Business

Albion

brick_lane

<p>One of the things we love most about Shoreditch is never having to eat at the same place twice. We go somewhere different every day. (You think we jest &#8211; I genuinely didn’t eat at the same place twice in my <a title="Moving office made us more productive" href="https://hubblehq.com/blog/what-moving-office-taught-us-about-productivity/">first 3 weeks in the new Hubble offices</a>!) And so it is that our second area of expertise, after offices, is food.</p>
<h2>Monday</h2>
<h3>Albion</h3>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/spaciousapp/blog_static/Albion.jpg" alt="albion lunch egg bacon and golden syrup in shoreditch" width="992" height="319" /></p>
<p>It’s Monday. You didn’t spend last night believing you’d have to be awake this morning. You need food. In large quantities. But simple. It’s not yet 12 hours since that kebab. That’s where <a href="https://www.albioncaff.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Albion</a> comes in. The biggest sandwiches you can imagine on fantastic doorstops of bread from the in-house bakery, and all under a fiver. If you’re going for brunch, the pastries, made from scratch on site, are divine. And for the kid inside, Albion makes an 8-inch Jammy Dodger &#8211; what’s not to love?!</p>
<h2>Tuesday</h2>
<h3>Korrito</h3>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/spaciousapp/blog_static/Korrito.jpg" alt="korrito lunch in shoredtich - korean food in a burrito" width="649" height="433" /></p>
<p>Hubble is vying for the title of No.1 <a title="Korean barbecue burrito" href="http://www.korrito.co.uk/cms/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Korrito</a> fan. Varun and Tushar are particularly regular wielders of the loyalty card. In typical Shoreditch style, Korrito blends Korean barbecue and kimchi rice with the Mexican burrito we know and love. Korrito founder, Joo Lee, recently used <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/discover/places/london-gb" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kickstarter</a> to fund a documentary exploring the past, present and future of Korean cuisine.</p>

<p>As Korean food gradually takes over London, <a title="Jubo korean canteen" href="http://jubolondon.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jubo</a> on Rivington Street is another office favourite. Our <a title="Tom Watson from Spacious on Twitter" href="https://twitter.com/watsontom100" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tom Watson</a> is rated by Jubo’s own staff as their biggest customer (and not just because he’s 6’5”!) and it does a great mix of takeaway and sit down meals. There’s even a ‘Wall of Fame’ for Jubo champion eaters &#8211; though Tom might have something to say about any challenges to his crown.</p>
<p>If you’ve not quite got your tastebuds around Korean yet, appearing alongside Korrito are a number of our <a href="https://www.boxpark.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BoxPark</a> favourites &#8211; check out <a href="https://www.bunnychow.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BunnyChow</a> for South African street food in a bread basket or <a href="https://www.falafelicious.me/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FalafeLicious</a> for a healthier, but huge falafel salad box.</p>

<h2>Wednesday</h2>
<h3>The Caravans</h3>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/spaciousapp/blog_static/Caboose.jpg" alt="Caboose Lunch from a caravan in Shoredtich" width="640" height="424" /></p>
<p>If we can’t decide what to eat, there’s one place we can always agree on &#8211; the caravans. Apparently officially known as Ely’s Yard off Brick Lane, there’s a great range from the best named chicken in Shoreditch (<a href="http://www.motherclucker.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mother Clucker</a>), to New York Buffalo Wings (<a href="http://theorangebuffalo.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Orange Buffalo</a>), to the best pulled pork (<a href="http://wearecaboose.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Caboose</a>), Venezuelan empanadas or Italian flatbreads (<a href="http://www.lapiadinapronta.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">La Piadina Pronta</a>).</p>
<p>If the heavens open and you can’t fit under the gazebo, there’s brand new <a href="http://www.dfmexico.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DF/Mexico</a> from the guys behind <a href="http://www.wahaca.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wahaca</a> on the corner of Ely’s Yard, named after Distrito Federal, the Mexican term for the capital, and serving fantastic Mexican food (great burritos for around £6.50).</p>

<h2>Thursday</h2>
<h3>Rivington Canteen Street Food Festival</h3>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/spaciousapp/blog_static/Rivington.jpg" alt="Rivington Street Food Festival rooftop lunch in Shoredtich" width="800" height="533" /></p>
<p>Thursday’s are easy. When we worked in the <a href="https://hubblehq.com/office-space/8/tog-black-white-1?option=9">Office Group’s Black &amp; White building</a> on Rivington Street, the food came to us! But even now we’ve moved in with Culture Label we return every Thursday to see what stalls have set up shop (sometimes we still sneak to sit on the roof!). As part of the Black &amp; White building&#8217;s Rivington Canteen Street Food Festival we’ve had Italian hog roast ciabattas, ‘authentic&#8217; paella (“we’re from Val-en-see-ya, innit”) and gourmet burgers &#8211; it never disappoints!</p>
<h2>Friday</h2>
<h3>Ask the office</h3>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/spaciousapp/blog_static/japanika.jpg" alt="Sushi Lunch closeup in Shoreditch" width="640" height="427" /></p>
<p>With a popup food stall behind the back of the Culture Label offices every Friday, we don’t have to go far (ok, there are five flights of stairs!). But if that does’t take your fancy, why not take a recommendation from our office neighbours? <a href="https://twitter.com/gather_ly" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gather.ly</a> suggested <a href="http://japanika.co.uk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Japanika</a>, with a range of sushi and sashimi as well as a great katsu curry. Meanwhile, <a href="http://www.befittd.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Beffittd</a> are big fans of innovative <a href="http://www.chilango.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chilango</a>, of <a href="http://www.crowdcube.com/investment/chilango-the-burrito-bond-15934" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8216;burrito bond’</a> fame.</p>

<p>Finally, a nod to new kids on the Shoreditch block, <a href="http://www.eatdirtyburger.com/shoreditch" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dirty Burger</a>, who so kindly gave us half price burgers and doughnuts to celebrate their launch this week. As Shoreditch House&#8217;s fast food baby, the queues have been out the door and along the street. And we can see why &#8211; the burgers were pretty amazing!</p>
<h4>If all of this hasn&#8217;t solved you&#8217;re lunch quandry, all we can do is leave it to <a title="Where the fuck should I go to eat?" href="http://www.wtfsigte.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">these guys</a> to tell you where to go for lunch near you.</h4>

<p><img class="alignnone" title="Tom and Tushar from Spacious in their new office" src="https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/spaciousapp/blog_static/P1010007.JPG" alt="Tom and Tushar from Hubble in their new Shoreditch office" width="4608" height="3072" /></p>
<p>It was the easiest office <a href="https://hubblehq.com/guides/office-relocation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">relocation</a> in history.</p>
<p>We sat in the coworking space we&#8217;d been using in the morning. At lunch, we picked up our laptops and walked to the new office. That was it. We didn&#8217;t have &#8216;things&#8217;. When the desk isn&#8217;t yours you can&#8217;t make it your own.</p>

<p>Such a simple action didn&#8217;t feel like a big event. But we didn&#8217;t yet know what a change it would make. In our first week, we found more spaces, wrote more content and made more commits. We powered through work. We felt less tired. We had more fun.</p>
<p class="blog-caption text-muted"><img class="alignnone" src="https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/spaciousapp/blog_static/officedoughnuts_1.jpg" alt="Yummy DumDum doughnuts" width="600" height="515" /></p>
<p>Tom even bought us doughnuts!</p>
<p>So how did we get there? And why did our new space make such a difference to our productivity?</p>
<h2>Search criteria</h2>
<p>Finding the right office space means knowing what you want. Our needs fell into 4 parts: location, company, atmosphere and flexibility.</p>
<ul>
<li style="list-style-type:none;">
<ul>
<li><em>Location:</em> we love <a title="Offices near Old Street Shoreditch" href="http://www.spaciousapp.com/list/Old_Street/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shoreditch</a>. There. We said it. Being in Shoreditch means we are close to our core customers, both hosts and potential tenants, as well as a the centre of the London startup and creative scenes. We&#8217;d been hovering around Shoreditch before the move anyway and love it because there&#8217;s a new place to eat and drink everyday!</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/spaciousapp/blog_static/dsc06528+copyb_2.jpg" alt="view from the Hubble office in Shoreditch" width="2984" height="4176" /></p>
<ul>
<li style="list-style-type:none;">
<ul>
<li><em>Company:</em> we were determined to share an office with other companies, particularly creative and/or tech companies. As a startup dealing in the traditionally stuffy commercial property sector, we wanted to immerse ourselves in an atmosphere of creativity, innovation and design to keep us thinking differently.</li>
<li><em>Atmosphere:</em> we see so many <a title="8 inspiring office spaces" href="http://www.spaciousapp.com/blog/8-incredible-offices-youll-want-to-move-into/">amazing office spaces</a> on our platform every day, so our bar was pretty high. We knew we could find somewhere which ticked the boxes: big windows; natural light; super cool decor; beautiful meeting rooms; chilled, fun but hardworking atmosphere.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="https://spaciousapp.s3.amazonaws.com/cache/64/8c/648c2285525171975030947d655e55ed.png" alt="Hubble office meeting room" width="550" height="400" /></p>
<ul>
<li><em>Flexibility:</em> we&#8217;re doing a hiring round at the moment, so know we&#8217;ll soon be expanding. We&#8217;ve also been getting investment. A one month rolling contract means we can accommodate new hires joining the team, and even move at short notice if things change.</li>
</ul>
<p>Every box was ticked by the Culture Label office &#8211; it was already one of our favourites on the platform! We&#8217;re in with great creative and tech companies: <a title="Gatherly on Twitter" href="https://twitter.com/gather_ly" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gatherly</a>, <a title="Nuji on Twitter" href="https://twitter.com/nuji" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nuji</a>, <a title="Befittd online sizing tool" href="http://www.befittd.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Befittd</a> (a fellow <a href="http://joinef.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">EF</a> company), <a title="Compucorp on Twitter" href="https://twitter.com/teamcompucorp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Compucorp</a> and <a title="Culture Label on Twitter" href="https://twitter.com/culturelabel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Culture Label</a> themselves. It&#8217;s decked out amazingly &#8211; we keep spotting new art on the walls and quirky little tidbits from the incredible <a title="Culture Label shop for the arts" href="http://www.culturelabel.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Culture Label store</a>. Probably our favourite thing is that the office’s collective passion for good music… (check out our <a title="Spacious office music playlist on Spotify" href="http://open.spotify.com/user/spaciousapp.com/playlist/42s8qKpBdHEy890YdiK1qe" target="_blank" rel="noopener">office playlist</a>) and Gatherly&#8217;s speakers are ace.</p>
<p class="blog-caption text-muted"><img class="alignnone" src="https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/spaciousapp/blog_static/dsc06526b.jpg" alt="Gatherly team member with speaker in new office" width="4824" height="3486" /></p>
<h2>Productivity rockets</h2>
<p>We knew we&#8217;d found a great space, but once we&#8217;d moved in, the magic started. <a title="hotdesking and types of office space" href="https://hubblehq.com/blog/what-is-the-right-type-of-startup-office-space-for-me">Hotdesking</a> is great for flexibility and getting you out of the house in the morning, but there&#8217;s no reliability. It&#8217;s a step up from working in Starbucks (we&#8217;ve got <a title="why you shouldn't work in Starbucks" href="https://hubblehq.com/blog/why-you-dont-get-work-done-starbucks">8 reasons you shouldn&#8217;t</a>). Yet each day you can&#8217;t tell whether you&#8217;ll end up next to phone-shouting recruiters, or on the comfy seats everyone fights for. Settling down at our new desks, we looked a bit silly &#8211; there was nothing on the table. Other teams had monitors, piles of papers, coffee, nic-nacs. We just had the same four laptops we&#8217;d left our hotdesking seats with.</p>
<p>Nothing seemed very different, but the impact on our work was huge. Big windows with natural light meant we weren&#8217;t spending our days staring at glaring LED screens lit by LED lights. We had access to meeting rooms when we needed them, and space to store our favourite snacks in the kitchen. Our backs didn&#8217;t ache from sitting on barstools and getting to know other teams in the office gave us a whole new set of people to bounce ideas off and be inspired by.</p>
<p>And we saw the results. Not only were we having fun meeting new people and getting to know our surroundings, but we felt more energised at work and <em>did</em> more work. There was less time spent working from home to get things done &#8211; the office is our new hub of productivity. We&#8217;re staying later, working harder and enjoying it more.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/spaciousapp/blog_static/DSC06481edited.jpg" alt="Hard at work in the Hubble office" width="4554" height="2744" /></p>
<h2>What moving taught us about offices</h2>
<p>Finding the right office, with the right people, means everything. Just like moving house is better with friends, and choosing the ones you won&#8217;t want to put on a boat to Timbuktu after two weeks is important, moving into an office is about finding a space where your team is happiest, and works best. To do that, you need to be surrounded by the right people, in the right space. It reminds us why we started &#8211; not just to make finding office space easier, but to make finding the <em>right</em> office space easier. You spend most of your waking hours in your office; it’s your second home. It&#8217;s so easy to neglect the impact of where you work on how you work, but putting the time into your office search (or <a href="https://hubblehq.com/about">letting us put the time in</a>) really makes all the difference.</p>

What moving office taught us about productivity

SteveJobs1

<p>We are always getting asked here at Hubble for <a title="Office space in London - Hubble" href="https://hubblehq.com/office-space-london" target="_blank" rel="noopener">offices in London</a> with a little bit of flair and originality. Indeed, where you spend your working hours is incredibly important for business, creation and productivity.</p>
<p>So we thought we’d take a look at some office and workspaces of some of the most creative and inspiring people on the planet.</p>
<p>Everyone from tech CEOs to Prime Ministers to talk show hosts, we have managed to uncloak the veil behind how these extraordinary people work when the limelight is not shining on them (and hopefully might provide some ideas for your own workspace too!)</p>

<h2 id="1-steve-jobs-founder-of-apple">1) Steve Jobs, founder of Apple</h2>
<p>We have all heard the story of Steve Jobs and the Apple boys starting off life in his Palo Alto garage, but by the looks of things some of his operations still happened there!</p>
<p><img title="" src="https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/spaciousapp/blog_static/SteveJobs1.jpeg" alt="Steve Jobs garage office" /></p>
<h2 id="2-arianna-huffington-founder-ceo-the-huffington-post">2) Arianna Huffington, founder &amp; CEO, The Huffington Post</h2>
<p>We like this office as it has a cozy, homely feel to it but judging by the screens through the glass, it is very much part of a bigger newsroom office. (Greenwich Village, New York)</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/spaciousapp/blog_static/AriannaHuffington1.jpeg" alt="Arianna Huffington Post Office" width="620" height="412" /></p>
<h2 id="3-roald-dahl-author">3) Roald Dahl, author</h2>
<p>The famous shed at the back of Roald Dahl’s garden in Buckinghamshire (UK) where the genius author crafted some of the most enjoyable children’s stories we know today. He often said there was always a copious amount of chocolate around to keep him going (you can see some on the desk) &#8211; no prizes for guessing which of his novels that inspired!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/spaciousapp/blog_static/RoaldDahl1.jpeg" alt="Roald Dahls office armchair" width="625" height="563" /></p>

<h2 id="4-bill-gates-founder-of-microsoft">4) Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft</h2>
<p>Yeah, we didn’t think he used an iMac either. (Mountain View, California)</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/spaciousapp/blog_static/BillGates.jpg" alt="Bill Gates office space" width="619" height="239" /></p>
<h2 id="5-john-lennon-yoko-ono">5) John Lennon &amp; Yoko Ono</h2>
<p>The Upper Westside Apartment in New York, where Lennon and his wife found the creativity to write songs and poetry. Lennon would be murdered not far from this spot soon after.</p>
<p><img title="" src="https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/spaciousapp/blog_static/LennonOno1.jpeg" alt="John Lennon and Yoko Ono office" /></p>
<h2 id="6-yves-saint-laurent-fashion-designer">6) Yves Saint Laurent, fashion designer</h2>
<p>The desk space of the late, great fashion designer in Paris, France.</p>

<h2 id="7-hm-queen-elizabeth-ii">7) HM Queen Elizabeth II</h2>
<p>Her Royal Highness chilling at her Balmoral Castle office, presumably after an afternoon having high tea on the lawn with the corgis. We hope they’ve upgraded that TV by now! (Balmoral Castle, Scotland)</p>
<p><img title="" src="https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/spaciousapp/blog_static/Queen1.jpeg" alt="The Queens Balmoral office" /></p>

<h2 id="8-rudyard-kipling-author">8) Rudyard Kipling, author</h2>
<p>It’s not hard to see where Kipling went for reference whilst surrounding himself with a library of books. And, of course, it wouldn’t be right for The Jungle Book author to not be wearing a colonial hat. (Sussex, UK)</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/spaciousapp/blog_static/Kipling1.jpeg" alt="Kiplings bookshelves in office space" width="625" height="1000" /></p>
<h2 id="9-mark-zuckerberg-founder-ceo-facebook">9) Mark Zuckerberg, founder &amp; CEO, Facebook</h2>
<p>Zuckerberg is known to keep it casual and this seems to extend to his desk positioning also. He does not shy away in a glass office at the top of the building but rather sits at an ordinary desk in the middle of the office floor. He seems to like Gatorade too! (Palo Alto, California)</p>

<h2 id="10-albert-einstein-scientist">10) Albert Einstein, scientist</h2>
<p>A relatively basic setting for probably history’s most intelligent man. Clearly not a fan of ordering his papers, much like most offices today. (Princeton, New Jersey, USA)</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/spaciousapp/blog_static/Einstein1.jpeg" alt="Albert Einsteins office with blackboard and cluttered desk" width="500" height="464" /></p>
<h2 id="11-anna-wintour-chief-editor-of-vogue-us">11) Anna Wintour, chief editor of Vogue (US)</h2>
<p>A modern, art-deco office in a high-rise New York building for the chief of fashion. Not really much different from how we would have imagined it to be honest (we’ve all seen The Devil Wears Prada!)</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/spaciousapp/blog_static/Wintour.jpeg" alt="Anna Wintours of Vogue office" width="640" height="360" /></p>
<h2 id="12-prime-ministers-of-uk-winston-churchill-david-cameron">12) Prime Ministers of UK, Winston Churchill &amp; David Cameron</h2>
<p>Churchill seems to be an early-adopter of the standing desk concept that has started to float around startup offices recently. No doubt that’s an original hipster cigar he is enjoying also. (Westminster, London)</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/spaciousapp/blog_static/Churchill.jpeg" alt="Winston Churchills office" width="553" height="369" /></p>

<p>It is unknown how long Prime Minister David Cameron actually spends at his Downing Street desk everyday as he is always on-the-go. He might just be ordering a pizza in this picture for all we know (or a Byron for George)</p>

<p>Buffet’s famously frugal lifestyle is reflected in his home office. He still in fact lives in the same home he bought in 1958 for $30,000. Does he always dress in a suit when working from home? (Omaha, Nebraska, USA)</p>

MVPblogheader

<p>Building a minimum viable product (MVP) is one of the first things you do as a startup. You’ve found a problem, you’ve found a small set of early adopters and now its time to pull them in. But it is also something you do continuously. Be it as a founder, first developer or tenth, you should always be looking towards what is the next MVP. This is hard. You joined/started a tech startup to build cool shit or be technically challenged. You are going to be challenged, just not as expected. Every piece of code you write you need to expect to throw away next week. Why? Well customers don’t give a shit about you and your beautiful code, they care about product and whether it is solving their problem.</p>

<h2>Decide what your customers most value</h2>
<p>So how do you design your MVP? Again, it’s hard. Most often it’s not technically challenging but it is hard because you need to decide what features are most important. It is hard because you have to prioritise what is done now and what can wait. It is hard because you have to go through the mass of qualitative and quantitive data that you’ve amassed through various conversations and analytics. You need to decide what your customers most value. And once you’ve done that. You have to build it the quickest, scrappiest way you can.</p>
<h2>Don’t be afraid to be a consultant</h2>
<p>Let me tell you what we did at Hubble. Here is our original landing page:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" title="Spacious's first github commit for the landing page" src="https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/spaciousapp/blog_static/Spaciousfirstgitcommit.jpg" alt="Spacious's first gihub commit" width="800" height="800" /></p>
<p>It took us about 30 seconds to decide on colours, fonts, design and we got something up as quickly as possible. It blowed. But it was designed to describe the value proposition and encourage people to signup. It did that good enough. We tracked bounce rate and signups and spammed this across various Facebook groups, email lists and personal networks. Once they were signed up, we became a consultancy. Don’t be afraid to be a consultant, especially if you are building a marketplace. Often this is called the concierge MVP. With our first few signups, we contacted everyone individually and asked them about their office needs. We then went out, on the phone, and found them an office. For us, the concierge MVP worked. We understood the true pain our customers had, we had a fantastic set of evangelists for what we did (our now testimonials on the current landing page) and we knew what to build next.</p>
<h2>Make every release an MVP</h2>
<p>What did we build next? Another MVP. Never abandon that idea. Every release you do should be a minimum viable product. This doesn’t mean it has to be a pile of shit (it’s got to be viable remember). It just means that shouldn’t be spending overly long developing features that you don’t know will make a difference. At Hubble we haven’t yet been going a year yet but often we get lots of compliments about our platform. I’m still embarrassed by it. There are too many bugs, the design patterns are all over the place and the UX&#8230;well, could be better. But I’ve learnt that is how it should be. Reid Hoffman once said, &#8220;If you are not embarrassed by the first version of your product, you’ve launched too late” and he is completely right. At the end of the day getting it out there is paramount. Done is better than perfect.</p>
<h2>Don’t get hung up on the tech roadmap</h2>
<p>Finally, a lot of people will want to hear about your tech roadmap. I’m not saying abandon this idea. It’s a good idea to have one. But it is like a business plan. Most likely you’ll tear up it next month (or week), or at least you should. Again this means&#8230;drum roll please&#8230;<strong>don’t spend a lot of time on it</strong>. What you build next week is almost always predicated on what your customers did last week. The only benefit I see of a tech roadmap is that it provides a vision for your team and an element of accountability, which is important. Day to day though, what are you doing in your next 2-week sprint? Building an MVP.</p>

<h2>Moo.com</h2>
<h3>London, UK</h3>
<p>Moo truly represents its brand in an office space inspired by a printer’s swatch palette. Working in such a bright space, surrounded by your product is a great way to motivate employees. Not only is every room themed around a different colour, but the stationery cupboard must be amazing!</p>
<p><em>Biggest perk:</em> easy to remember the room name</p>
<p><em>Biggest risk:</em> spending the afternoon covering things with stickers “to test the product&#8221;</p>

<p>We love London, but occasionally swapping Shoreditch for the Sherwood forest is tempting. <a title="Selgas Cano Spanish architect firm" href="http://www.selgascano.net/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Selgas Cano</a> have done just that, building their glass office tunnel in the woods in Madrid. The office inside is equally stylish, with a split white and green floor marking out desk space and corridor in the open plan space.</p>

<p>It might not look like the most amazing office you’ve ever seen, but it’s actually the greenest commercial building in the world. It’s powered by solar panels, runs on rainwater and even composts its own sewage. Yet they didn’t skimp on design or location &#8211; the view is stunning and, whilst not a radical design innovation, the offices are sleek and open.</p>

<h2>Nothing Amsterdam</h2>
<h3>Amsterdam, Netherlands</h3>
<p>We thought cardboard boxes were just for moving in, but Dutch creative agency Nothing made their whole office out of them. And it’s mighty impressive. The range of workspaces created suit all needs &#8211; from group spaces to individual desks, as well as a meeting rooms. We also love the tiny details &#8211; doodles around plug sockets and and skirting boards.</p>
<p><em>Biggest perk:</em> finding all the quirks and details; it&#8217;s a beautiful office!</p>
<p><em>Biggest risk:</em> let’s just say we hope that cardboard mezzanine’s sturdy…</p>

<h3><b><span style="font-size:x-large;">So what&#8217;s coworking?</span></b></h3>
<p>Coworking spaces are open-plan offices with a multitude of independent and shared desks where freelancers, startups and early-stage companies can work. The space is normally vast and shared between several companies, with communal access to facilities like printers, espresso machines, private meeting rooms and kitchens. If you’re lucky, you might even find fun stuff like rooftop gardens, on-side cafes, pool tables, ping pong and table football!</p>
<p><em>Not sure what type of office space is right for your startup? <a href="https://hubblehq.com/blog/what-is-the-right-type-of-startup-office-space-for-me/">Check out this blog post.</a> </em></p>
<h3><b><span style="font-size:x-large;">Why they are awesome?</span></b></h3>
<p><b><span style="font-size:medium;">1. Flexibility</span></b> A flexible let structure of one-month minimum stays means that companies are not required to make large commitments early on. This means that if you decide to move location, expand your workforce, or aren’t sure about the future, co-working spaces can be ideal. You also have the option of different tiers such as <a href="https://hubblehq.com/hot-desk">hot-desking</a>, fixed desks or multi-location access if you’re always on the move.</p>

<p><b><span style="font-size:medium;">2. Affordability</span></b> Co-working desks normally range from £35 per month (for hot-desking in Greater London) to around £500 per month (fixed desks, with multi-location access in prime central London locations). There is a lot of space for budgets in between to find something that is exactly tailored to you. This, combined with short leases, means that these workspaces are a lot more affordable than traditional offices and provide the ultimate middle-step to migrating away from working at home.</p>

<p><b><span style="font-size:medium;">3. Community</span></b> Meeting other like-minded people with complementary skills and diverse experiences can do wonders for your business. Need digital marketing expertise? There’s a high likelihood there’s an expert sitting 5 metres from you. Need animation for your video? Need copy for your blog post? All these needs can be quickly filled by conversations you have with the people you are sharing the space with.</p>
<p>Community is often both the most important and most overlooked aspect of where you decide to work. The engineered serendipity and cross pollination of ideas that occurs by working near a diverse group of people is invaluable.</p>

Why is coworking the perfect place for your startup?

<p>If you’ve ever been in the position of having to find a London office online, you have realised that this is an absolute nightmare.</p>
<p class="text-center"><img class="alignnone" style="width:400px;" src="https://i1.wp.com/www.washingtonparent.com/articles/1206/image/parenting-the-difficult-child.png" alt="Child screaming in a tantrum after trying to find office space" width="300" height="300" /></p>
<p>You approach the search in a similar fashion to looking for a flat to rent:</p>
<ul>
<li><b>You ask your friends for recommendations</b> &#8211; after a few email threads and dozens of CCs you end up getting nowhere quick.</li>
<li><b>You turn to social media</b> &#8211; the results are generally random, success is not expected, but sometimes this works.</li>
<li><b>You then turn to Google</b> &#8211; “startup office space London” please! Ah, thousands of hits &#8211; great!</li>
</ul>

<div></div>
<p>Think again. The cocktail of search results resembles more of a Neknomination attempt than a smooth and simple James Bond Martini. What you get is a combination of various types of office providers, agents, small business magazines, newspapers and so on. Don&#8217;t believe me? <a href="https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=startup+office+space+london&amp;oq=startup+office+space+london&amp;aqs=chrome..69i57j69i60j69i61j69i65j69i60.8370j0j1&amp;sourceid=chrome&amp;espv=210&amp;es_sm=91&amp;ie=UTF-8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Try it yourself</a>.</p>
<h3>This is confusing.</h3>
<p>All you’re looking for is 5 desks near Old Street station for a few months. How can something so simple be <em>so difficult</em>?</p>
<h2>Why does this happen?</h2>
<h3>Why can’t it be as simple as browsing and buying anything else online?</h3>
<p>Three <em>(interlinked)</em> reasons</p>
<h3>1. Assumed knowledge</h3>
<p>You have no idea that you don’t know what you’re looking for.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" style="width:400px;" src="https://creativeteachersupport.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/knowledge-is-power.gif?w=675&#038;h=545" alt="knowledge is the power to make other people feel stupid" width="675" height="545" /></p>
<p>You think you’re trying to find a London office, and you’re right. However, most of the time you have no idea whether what you need is a co-working space, a shared space, a serviced office or a standalone office. Even if you think you know what you want, you are still curious about the others, and you end up doing a broad search to find a London office.</p>
<p>The status quo asks the researcher to make a decision about what they want, before they’ve even had a chance to understand that they need to make a decision about what it is they really want.</p>
<p>Yes, that made my head hurt too.</p>
<p class="highlighted-text">We do not assume knowledge. We allow you to search using your most important criteria. Currently we offer a simple search by number of people in your company, compass locations within London and your budget. Our search evolves as we get more feedback.</p>
<p>Don’t want to experience the struggle in having to search to find a London office? Just ask us as and we will be more than happy to send you some recommendations and guide you through the process.</p>
<h3>2. Fragmentation</h3>
<p>Everything is all over the place.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" style="width:400px;" src="https://i2.wp.com/www.nicoletschampel.com/i/projects/home-of-the-big-mess/2.jpg" alt="Home of the big mess" width="640" height="480" /></p>
<p>Each co-working operator, serviced office operator, serviced office agent and commercial agent in London has their own website and are vying for your clicks.</p>
<p>Some office agents have multiple websites with different branding to dupe you into thinking you are browsing a competitor. Even the office space aggregators are essentially lead generation tools for the serviced office agents and operators. If you’ve ever tried to find a London office online and looked on Gumtree on consecutive days you will notice that most of the listings are duplicates and are automatically being re-posted by the same agents everyday.</p>
<p>Ironically enough, the sites which attempt to aggregate the market actually lead to further fragmentation. It’s an all out melée for your clicks which creates a vicious cycle:</p>
<p>Because you can see that the market is so fragmented, they know that you will click on multiple links. Because you click on multiple links, they know they have to have more than one website. Because they have multiple websites, the market looks fragmented and you have to click on multiple links. Round and round we go.</p>
<p>Yes, that made me dizzy too.</p>
<p class="highlighted-text">We aim to consolidate the market for SMEs looking to find a London office. We understand that a lot of the time you are not quite sure what you want, so we aim to let you search across different office types to find a London office that&#8217;s suitable for you. No duplicates, no masquerading. We are adding new spaces everyday.</p>
<h3>3. Asymmetric information</h3>
<p>Office search is a world that exists completely offline but masquerades as being online.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" style="width:400px;" src="https://hubblehq.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/2ecb7-govtcoverups3.jpg?w=413&#038;h=350" alt="stuff they don't want you to know in secret files" width="413" height="350" /></p>
<p>You just can’t find a London office online the same way you can find other things online through your typical e-commerce sites.</p>
<p>You simply can’t browse, compare and transact like you can with houses on Rightmove, holidays on Expedia, or shopping on Amazon. One of the main reasons these sites provide such a good experience is because, as a customer, you are given all of the information you need to make a purchasing decision (or a viewing decision, in the case of property).</p>
<p>Most of the listings for office space that you see online however are just lead-generation tools to capture your details and give you the hard sell. This doesn’t happen with other e-commerce, so why should it happen here?</p>
<p>Yes, it makes me weep too.</p>
<p class="highlighted-text">We aim to create perfect information. We aim to keep our prices and availability as real-time as possible. We give you the ability to ask questions directly to the person who owns the space, saving everyone time.</p>
<h2>What’s our mission?</h2>
<h3>We have one goal: to make it easy to find a London office.</h3>
<p><img class="blog-img; alignnone" style="width:400px;" src="https://hubblehq.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/be3e6-simplicity.png?w=500&#038;h=432" alt="simplicity is the ultimate sophistication" width="500" height="432" /></p>
<p>Ultimately, we want to bring the office rental market into the 21st century &#8211; to create the experience you have when you’re shopping on Amazon, Expedia or AirBnB. To make it simple.</p>
<h2>How are we going to do this?</h2>
<p>Talking to hundreds of business owners has allowed us to build an acute sensitivity to what people actually need (as opposed to what they are currently getting) and has given us a willingness to cast off business-as-usual-practices and approaches.</p>
<p>We are working hard to strip away the entrenched complexity in this market. We have built strong relationships with those who have space to rent and are working alongside them to stand out in such a convoluted marketplace.</p>
<p><em>HubbleHQ is built from the ground up</em>, with no assumptions taken from the status quo. Our platform evolves every single week purely from customer feedback. We know that we&#8217;re not perfect yet, but we&#8217;re trying really hard. Please forgive us if you see a few glitches &#8211; we’re brand new!</p>

<p>Our matchmaking service here at Hubble has succeeded once again, bringing together two of our favourite creative startups…and <em>just in time for Valentine’s Day!</em></p>
<h3 id="on-the-quest-for-that-special-someone"><strong>On the quest for that special someone…</strong></h3>
<p>Peter from <a href="http://www.culturelabel.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CultureLabel</a> moved his startup into a beautiful office in Shoreditch with a view to expanding his business in the future. He fell in love with the gorgeous space and decided to go for it, intending to <em>sublet the extra space they had to other startups.</em></p>
<p>We made sure that Peter’s team gave us an idea of who they were looking to join their great new office. Peter told us of their interest in <em>like-minded, innovative companies with a creative culture</em>, that would fit in well with both the quirkiness of the space, and of the CultureLabel staff themselves. No problem!</p>
<h3 id="a-match-made-in-heaven"><strong>A match made in heaven</strong></h3>
<p>Laura from <a href="http://www.culturelabel.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Befittd</a> came to Hubble at just the right time. Her team were <em>looking for a creative space in a great location</em> which would suit the needs of their growing business, and went through a number of viewings through our site until they came across just what they were after &#8211; and just what Peter was offering!</p>
<p>Laura and her team were anxious to leave their quiet, poorly lit basement office behind them, and flew right up to the penthouse suite! Brightly lit and buzzing, Laura was confident in having made the perfect choice. The two teams were more than compatible when it came to energy and creative spirit, and it was the start of something beautiful.</p>

<h3 id="who-said-love-was-hard-work"><strong>Who said love was hard work?</strong></h3>
<p>We couldn’t wait to get the two officially match made! Hubble sent over a small van to give Laura’s team a hand with their office gear, and a taxi for the staff <em>to make the move as hassle-free as possible.</em></p>

<p>After taking care of their payments and other admin online, a celebration was in order! We met both Peter and Laura on the day to welcome them to their new space with a fancy Champagne hamper, and to take some photos to capture the excitement of the day. Everyone was happy and just like that, a relationship was born!</p>

Hubble x CultureLabel + Befittd: When Peter Met Laura

network locum

<p>We were really really happy when we managed to provide a successful matchmaking service between two of our favourite startups in London: Network Locum and Uniplaces.</p>
<h2>Two lost souls</h2>
<p><img class="blog-img; alignnone" style="width:300px;" title="Melissa Morris, Co-founder of Network Locum" src="https://i0.wp.com/i.imgur.com/qIOhUqj.jpg" alt="Melissa Morris, Co-Founder Network Locum Headshot" width="500" height="448" /></p>
<p>Melissa and her startup <a href="https://networklocum.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Network Locum</a> had just moved into a brand new office in Shoreditch. They took up an <em>office space that was a little larger than they needed</em> so that they had an option to expand their workforce, but also use the spare room as a recreational area.</p>
<p><img class="blog-img; alignnone" style="width:300px;" title="Ben Grech, Co-founder Uniplaces" src="https://i0.wp.com/i.imgur.com/gVmevXd.jpg" alt="Ben Grech, Co-Founder Uniplaces Headshot" width="250" height="250" /></p>
<p>Ben and his startup <a href="http://www.uniplaces.com/#london" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Uniplaces</a> were working in a co-working space in the West End. However, they had been fortunate in raising an investment round which would allow them to hire more employees. This maturity of their business <em>required a bigger and better space that they could call home</em>.</p>
<div class="blog-search-banner-container"><a href="https://hubblehq.com/office-space-london">Find your new office space in London today.</a></div>
<div></div>
<p>Uniplaces is a young startup with founders that like to be social, have a chat and brainstorm out loud. They felt they were a little out of place in their current set-up which was more geared towards a quiet, library style environment. Ben was looking to share a space with a company that had a <em>similar culture</em> to his.</p>
<h2>How they met</h2>
<p>Melissa contacted Hubble telling us that she was looking to rent some spare space in her new office. However, she was quite particular about who her tenants would be and that she wanted a company that embrace the wackiness of the Network Locum employees and join in the manic day to day fun.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" title="Hosted by imgur.com" src="https://i0.wp.com/i.imgur.com/wV7yclV.jpg" alt="panorama network locum office space" width="6480" height="1484" /></p>
<p>Ben had contacted Hubble looking for space and had conducted some viewings through the platform. After talking to Ben on the phone and finding out about their company culture we realised that they would be a <em>great fit for Network Locum’s office.</em></p>
<p><img class="blog-img; alignnone" style="width:300px;" src="https://spaciousapp.s3.amazonaws.com/cache/04/0e/040ea63c781fc4b9eb601a2b763cc0fd.png" alt="inside network locum office space in shoreditch" width="550" height="400" /></p>
<p>Uniplaces went for a viewing and it was <em>love at first sight</em> (well, as much love as there can be when it comes to office space). They loved not only the office space and the Network Locum team, but they realised that the two companies had another connection: Portugal. Uniplaces was started in Lisbon and more than half the team was Portuguese with constant travel between London and Lisbon. Network Locum had also recently hired a team of Portuguese developers.</p>
<h3>The match was perfect: location, culture and Portugese banter &#8211; a match made in startup heaven</h3>
<p>(<em>where Eric Ries is God</em>).</p>

<h2>Moving in together</h2>
<p>Ben and Melissa were keen to get their companies’ working together as soon as possible, so <em>Ben moved in the next day</em>. Some may say they were taking things too fast but we say carpe diem!</p>

<h3>Network Locum welcomed them with open arms!</h3>
<p>After seamlessly sorting out the payments and other admin online, the Hubble team popped round to celebrate with a few bottles of bubbly. Soon there were hugs and champagne in paper cups all round! Hooray!</p>
