Housed at 68–80 Hanbury Street, this is the original location that earned the headline "best office on earth" from Cosmopolitan, and the space has lost none of its ambition. Over a thousand plants weave through the Selgas Cano-designed interiors, creating a biophilic workspace that feels genuinely unlike anywhere else in London. Hot desks, dedicated desks, private offices, and day passes give freelancers, startups, and growing teams the flexibility to scale on their own terms. When you need a break, head to the rooftop terrace or grab a barista coffee from the on-site café. A rich calendar of networking events, talks, and workshops keeps the creative energy circulating beyond the desk. With 24/7 member access, staffed reception from 8am to 9pm, and bike storage on-site, Second Home Spitalfields isn't just a workspace — it's a cultural movement with great Wi-Fi. ## Starting prices Starting list prices, checked 2026-09-24. - Day passes: from £25 per day - Flex desks: from £250 per month - Dedicated desks: from £400 per month - Private offices: from £500 per desk per month ## Opening hours - Monday: 00:00–23:59 - Tuesday: 00:00–23:59 - Wednesday: 00:00–23:59 - Thursday: 00:00–23:59 - Friday: 00:00–23:59 - Saturday: 00:00–23:59 - Sunday: 00:00–23:59 ## Amenities Free Tea, Phone Booths, Lounge Area, Printer & Copier/Scanner, Pet Friendly, Rooftop Terrace, Highspeed Wifi, Bike Storage, Barista, Reception Desk, Shower, Outdoor Areas, Meeting Rooms, Free Coffee, Event Spaces, Cafeteria, Conference Room, Community Events, 24/7 Access (Members) ## FAQ ### Is Spitalfields a good area to base a business or coworking membership?
