## About

Here East isn't a coworking space that happens to occupy a historic building — it's a 1.2-million-square-foot former Olympic Media Centre that has spent a decade becoming one of Europe's most ambitious tech and creative campuses. On any given day, game studios, UCL robotics researchers, dance companies, and V&A archivists share corridors with 800+ startups plugged into Plexal's innovation network — a community that counts Airbus, Google Cloud, and government partners among its connectors. Freelancers and founders work in spaces flooded with natural light, with barista coffee, phone booths, a food court, dedicated lounge areas, and daily cleaning all part of the fabric. Step-free access is built into the campus, which has explicitly positioned itself as an accessible hub for disability-led innovation, hosting Scope on site. Networking events, scholarship programmes, and a decade of community investment aren't afterthoughts here — they're the point. Dream big. Create at scale.
