Coworking Space King's Cross

Coworking Space in King's Cross, London

King's Cross is often cited as an example of successful urban transformation, since the area went from having multiple derelict sites and a poor safety record to being one of the most in-demand commercial real estate locations within London's Zone 1, and particularly so for businesses involved in the knowledge economy.

Starting in the mid-2000s, several revitalisation projects capitalised on King's Cross excellent location in central London and on its European connections via St Pancras station, turning it into a base for businesses of all sizes, including some of the world's top digital corporations, like Google and Facebook.

Over the years, sectors like technology, social enterprise, Internet of Things, and digital media have acquired growing importance in the local area, which has become a gateway for creative and cultural enterprises. Consequently, demand appeared for office space that met the specific needs of entrepreneurs and business owners involved in these sectors.

Nowadays, King's Cross is considered one of London's top tech hubs along with Shoreditch and Battersea Power Station, and that status has contributed to the growth of the local coworking scene. According to a recent survey, coworking space searches put Clerkenwell (to which King's Cross belongs) on par with The City. Another contributing element is the fact that King's Cross is a prime real estate area with high office rental rates, which aren't always accessible to small startups.

Moreover, market research shows that flexibility is one of the key requirements for tenants seeking office space in the Euston - King's Cross area, meaning that coworking is a feasible option for many.
