Business Travelling In London: 5 Working Hotspots To Take Advantage Of In The City

Whether you’re jetting off or catching the train, London is the ultimate city for a company conference. With over 2.98 million business tourists visiting the city in 2023 alone, London remains a true working hub for professionals worldwide.

A business trip to England’s most anticipated city is the ideal place to balance a working holiday with an opportunity to enjoy classic attractions from all angles. Jam-packed with working spots all across the city, London allows you to tap into company calls from a workspace situated next to some of the hottest tourist locations the UK has to offer. 

With so many co-working spots to choose from, we’re here to recommend some of the best cafes, hotels and one-off business hubs to catch on a company trip that is both work and play in 2024.

ArtFix | Greenwich

First, as we take you on a walking tour of London’s best-kept working hubs, let’s visit Greenwich, on the south side of the River Thames. If you want to soak up some of the city’s historical architecture and see a stand-out viewpoint of the cityscape, Greenwich is the perfect place to spend a few free hours.

Why not take in the famous Greenwich Observatory, the bustling market scene and even the Cutty Sark on display in the centre?

Between visiting the Royal Naval College and the historic Queen’s House, you can enjoy some downtime in ArtFix, one of the area’s most talked about working spaces. With a chilled-out vibe, aesthetic coffee cups and comfy sofa seating, this is a brilliant place to rest your legs and open up your laptop for a few hours.

While the cafe offers outdoor seating accompanied by indie-style music, you can also choose to relax in their noise-free working zones, especially if you need to concentrate away from the city’s tourist buzz.

CloudM | Tower Hill

If you’re looking for a working space with a view, look no further than CloudM in Tower Hill. As part of the CitizenM Hotel group, CloudM is one of the best luxury working spaces London has to offer.

With a seventh-floor view of London’s city centre, especially the famous Shard, CloudM offers workers window-facing workspaces with plenty of natural light, comfortable seating, and a large range of plug points.

Also, make sure to check out the lounge bar for a cheeky tipple while you type—anything to make the workday flow faster.

Hilton Hart | Shoreditch

The Hart Shoreditch was ranked as one of the best places to work in London in 2023.

Located ironically in the ‘heart’ of Shoreditch, this is the place to be for London workers who want to combine their hotel stay with the perfect working spot.

With striking iron and copper decor and a rich industrial heritage theme, this working space is very demure indeed. For now, it’s free to open a laptop during the day, but we expect that to change as more co-workers flock to the vast range of glamourous tables and chairs.

Better still, Shoreditch is the perfect place to make yourself comfortable for the day. With wacky shops, art galleries, and food stalls to visit on your lunch break, you’ll certainly be enveloped in colour in this district of the city. It’s perfect for artsy youth and young workers who want to embrace true London culture.

The British Library | Kings Cross

One of the most underrated working spaces in London is The British Library. Situated just a short walk away from Kings Cross, it’s the perfect place to venture to as soon as you hop off a long train journey.

Packed with seating, this one-of-a-kind workspace takes library sessions to the next level. The British Library has its own cafes, one of the largest selections of books in the UK and even seasonal gallery exhibitions to check out during your visit.

Why not spend a few hours working before checking out an exhibition of Leonardo Divinci’s first written works? Better still, this work-from-away experience is totally free and easily accessible.

WorkLife | Camden

Last but not least, let’s take a walk to Camden, one of the most anticipated areas of attraction for young workers worldwide.

Camden is famous for its busy food markets, local gig culture, and artsy culture, which is why it constantly attracts creative freelancers and startup entrepreneurs.

For those looking to embrace all Camden has to offer during their work trip, head to WorkLife, an all-inclusive co-working space situated in the heart of Kentish Town.

Here, you can enjoy artisan coffee, photobooths and even private shower facilities for a working day that is every bit as artsy as Camden itself.

Ready To Embark On Your Next Working Holiday?

If you plan to head over to London this year on a business trip, we have you covered. Whether you’re looking to embrace artsy Camden and Shoreditch during the working day, or get down to business with a view at CloudM, our guide to the best working hotspots is here to help.

That said, these popular working spaces get quite busy, especially during the week. For a safe bet, make sure you book your working space in advance for a fuss-free business trip that allows you to view London from every angle.
