I’ve been with Mainyard Studios for a few years now. Amazing place to work, great community feel. So nice having my own private studio but also a friendly environment to work in with likeminded people. Made some friends and enjoy the shared lunches Mainyard provide. Definitely recommend!

Mainyard Studios in Hackney provides an exceptional professional environment and is an outstanding choice for anyone seeking a high-quality and human workspace. The facility is well organised, offering a seamless balance between a creative a functional business. A significant part of what makes this location amazing is our Community Manager, Ester. She is remarkably professional, helpful, and consistently polite. From the moment you arrive, she ensures you feel welcome, fostering a sense of belonging that is rare in modern co-working spaces. I highly recommend Mainyard Studios to any professional looking for a dynamic, well-managed, and supportive work environment.
