Plexal Stratford is the UK's largest cyber, healthtech and govtech innovation hub — a 68,000 sq ft coworking space inside the Press Centre at Here East on Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. It's not a generic flex office. The community is curated around regulated-industry founders running on Cyber Runway, LASR, HMGCC accelerator programmes, with peer access to a 5G testbed on the Park and direct lines into government and corporate innovation partners. The fit-out is open-plan with snugs, private offices, meeting rooms, accessible design throughout, and event spaces that host investor days and demo nights. Smart-casual professional crowd, conversational noise level, focused atmosphere with social undercurrent. A free shuttle bus runs from Stratford station 6am-12pm weekdays. Day passes and hot desks bookable; private offices and team rooms scale by headcount. Best fit if you are building anything in cyber, AI, telecoms, climate or quantum.

The Press Centre, Here East, 14 East Bay Lane, E15 2GW, London, United Kingdom
You are on Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, inside the former Press Centre repurposed as the Here East campus — home to BT Sport, Loughborough University London, Studio Wayne McGregor and a cluster of tech and creative tenants. Stratford station is a ten-minute walk or a free shuttle ride: it serves Elizabeth, Central, Jubilee, DLR, Overground and mainline rail to Stansted. Westfield Stratford City — Europe's largest urban shopping centre — sits beside the station with hundreds of food options. The Park itself gives you 560 acres of open space, the London Aquatics Centre and Velodrome on your doorstep, and the canalside walks to Hackney Wick (Crate Brewery, Howling Hops) for after-work drinks ten minutes north. Hackney Wick Overground is the closer station for a quieter commute.
Plexal is on the upper level of the Press Centre at Here East, 14 East Bay Lane, E15 2GW. Enter the gated Here East estate from East Bay Lane and head to the Press Centre reception — the community team will sign you in. From Stratford station, take the Stratford Shuttle bus (across the road from the station) directly to Here East, or it's a 15-minute walk through Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. Hackney Wick Overground station is a 10-minute walk along the canal. Bike racks, showers and secure storage are on-site.

You can see how it operated as the Olympic Village when London hosted it back in 2012. It is a great re-use of the space encouraging co-working, enterprise, innovation and development in a modern environment. Multi use for events, office, learning and educational purposes. There are also eateries nearby with a wide choice when it comes to taking a break. You can also take a walk by and sit beside the canal. In terms of travel there are 2 train stations nearby and buses that drop you right in the heart of it. Thumbs up!
