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.
Here East offers Game Area, Daily Cleaning Service, Food Court, Phone Booths, Lounge Area, Lifts, Bike Storage, Barista and 15 more amenities.

Here East sits within the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Hackney Wick, East London, bordered by the River Lea and a canalside promenade that's equally good for a lunchtime walk or after-work drinks. The campus's own canalside retail strip brings the neighbourhood to your doorstep: The Breakfast Club, Randy's Wing Bar, Saint Espresso, Change Please, Gotto Trattoria, Lock Inn, and Four Quarters arcade bar are all on site. Getting here is straightforward — free electric shuttles run regularly to and from Stratford station and Stratford International, putting the Elizabeth line, National Rail, and Eurostar connections within minutes. The nearest London Overground stop is Hackney Wick, a short walk away, with Leyton on the Central line also accessible. The Olympic Park's open green space, velodrome, and waterways make the surrounding area genuinely distinct from any other London coworking address.
Here East sits within the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, accessed via 14 East Bay Lane, London E15 2GW.

An impressive museum depot. Nevertheless, Britain, must RETURN the spectacularly marvelous Moorish-Castillian wooden dome to Torrijos (Toledo, Spain) where it belongs and it should never have been taken from. Like the Athens parthenon frise, and so many other architectural and art jewells and heritage, robbed through centuries by the British around the world. Restitution NOW.

My first visit May 2025 for a business meeting. Excellent office/worksop/hot desk facility, run by a great team. Its location at the edge of the Olympic park is fantastic with a regular shuttle service to and from the stations if needed as well as a large multi story car park. Served by lots of excellent street food vendors and coffee shops. Conveniently located near Hackney Wick station 6/7min walk. I recommend this place.

I am a fan of Here East and love its vibes! The area is perfect for a relaxing weekend walk, or to have drinks with friends. During the Christmas season, you can also find some lovely picture-perfect spots! 📸
