17a Electric Lane, London · 4.9 ★ (238 reviews)
Inside Brixton Village market, Impact Brixton is London's only coworking space that doubles as a community investment — a registered CIC where 100% of profits fund local programmes. The space itself earns its 4.9-star rating through design choices you notice immediately: biophilic interiors packed with plants, bold colours, and generous natural light that make the sterile chain spaces of central London feel very far away. Adjustable-height desks, phone booths, external monitors, and high-speed Wi-Fi handle the practical side, while a fully licensed private bar — the BCC Bar, home to a small-batch distillery — handles the rest. Community here isn't a buzzword: weekly rituals like Tea & Cakes, Punch Club, and Members' Lunch mean you'll know your neighbours. Day passes start at £35, with unlimited monthly membership from £165. Workshops run regularly, and freelancers and early-stage startups make up the heart of the membership.
Impact Brixton offers Free Tea, External monitors, Business Mentorship, On-site Bar, Daily Cleaning Service, Phone Booths, Lounge Area, Printer & Copier/Scanner and 19 more amenities.
17a Electric Lane, SW9 8LA, London, United Kingdom
Impact Brixton sits inside Brixton Village, the culturally iconic covered market on Electric Lane in SW9 — a neighbourhood widely regarded as London's Afro-Caribbean cultural heartland, layered with independent shops, music history, and serious food credentials. Step outside the market and you're surrounded by independent restaurants: Nuvola Pizza, Mama Doe, Jalisco, Satay Bar, Clovers, and Healthy Eaters all neighbour the building and several cater events. Brixton Underground (Victoria line) is a two-minute walk away, giving direct access to central London in minutes. Getting here on foot is straightforward: exit the station, head down Electric Avenue, turn left into Electric Lane, and the entrance to Brixton Village market — and Impact Brixton on the first floor — is on your left. Bus routes along Brixton Road and Coldharbour Lane serve the broader area for those arriving by surface transport.

I'm obsessed with the interiors and I haven't fully used all of the space yet! The biophilic approach is really soothing and calming. The colours in the space make it vibrant and bright which works perfectly for me as I like working environments that are relaxed. The IB staff are so accommodating, warm, friendly and happy to assist! Also access to the building is straightforward and secure. The location is perfect like less than a 5 minute walk from Brixton station and next to ample of choice for dinner/tea including Healthy Eaters! I'm really looking forward to my next visit and using more of the space.

One of the best thought out community workspaces in London. The ample natural light and plants make it a delight to work in. The commitment to food and getting together is magic and you feel like your part of something bigger than youself - even if you are only a visitor. It's very special. The Black authors book shelf is a 'must read' - I discovered Musical Truth: A Musical History of Modern Black Britain in 28 Songs by Jeffrey Boakye there in 2022.

We love your space. The plants and colours make the environment less sterile than your typical co-working space. Definitely a place which inspires collaboration.

I haven’t come across a space in London quite like Impact Brixton. I love it. It’s a co-working and office space community hub full of vibrant entrepreneurial energy with lovely members and staff, who make you feel so welcome

I spent a day working at Impact Brixton when visiting a friend in London for the weekend and needing an office space on the Friday. I can’t recommend it enough, a friendly welcome, excellent equipment and a lovely calming environment with plenty of tea and coffee on hand in the kitchen area not to mention a game or two to play after a hard days work. If you’re in the Brixton area, it’s the perfect spot for a bit of work with the shops, bars and food places on the doorstep!
