Northway House, 257-258 Upper St,Highbury & Islington, N1 1RU, London, UK
Northway House sits on Upper Street in Highbury & Islington (N1), one of North London's most walkable and well-served corridors. Highbury & Islington station — served by the London Overground, Victoria line, and National Rail — is within easy reach, making the location straightforward to access from across the city and beyond. Upper Street itself is lined with independent cafés, restaurants, and shops, offering plenty of options for lunch breaks or post-work wind-downs. Angel (Northern line) is a short walk south, further broadening commuter options. The surrounding Islington neighbourhood balances residential calm with a lively daytime scene — a practical backdrop for client meetings or after-work networking. Essex Road and the backstreets toward Canonbury provide quieter walking routes, and the area's cycling infrastructure makes the on-site bike storage a genuinely useful perk for those commuting by two wheels.

Review summary
Across 29 detailed Google reviews, members describe a well-run coworking space in the heart of Highbury and Islington, steps from the tube station and well-connected to the rest of London. The dominant theme across reviews is the staff, which draws more mentions than any other aspect by a considerable margin. Members return to one name repeatedly — "Tannaz has made all the difference" captures a sentiment that appears in many forms, with reviewers crediting the team for making the space feel genuinely welcoming rather than transactional. The atmosphere earns strong praise alongside it, with members pointing to a "fantastic" environment that feels considered and purposeful. The location is a consistent highlight: proximity to Highbury and Islington Underground is mentioned across a wide range of reviews as a practical everyday convenience that compounds the appeal. Beyond those headline qualities, members note that the space is reliably clean and tidy, with the workspace described as "always welcoming." Equipment draws positive comments around the freshness of the fit-out, and those seeking focused work mention quiet conditions. Kitchen areas, natural light, call rooms for private conversations, and a roof terrace round out the picture of a space where practical needs are well covered. On the honest side, a small number of reviewers flag a slight edge to the atmosphere — suggesting that while the overall tone is warm, the experience may not feel equally consistent for everyone on every visit.

The workspace is always welcoming, tidy and the team are always on hand to serve their clients. The service from Tannoz is exemplary too! Keep up the good work :)

The service I receive from everyone is exceptional, James is really personal and very attentive to detail which I have found really considerate of someone in his position. The majority of the service I have received is from Tannaz and she is exceptional, such a wonderful asset to the community within the premises which are rented (the building has rules being put your pots in the dish washer) I have witnessed her just do it for everyone with a smile on her face, brining parcels to my office daily, removing rubbish and keeping the communal parts clean and tidy and always patient with any requests. Tannaz is amazing and James is amazing too. The facilities are modern and the location is really good.

I have a regular desk at Spaces, and the working environment has been very satisfactory. There are several areas to have separate conversations, or to have private conversations. I also scheduled a separate meeting with 5 people in one of the conference rooms. Tannaz has made all the difference. When I discussed the logistics for the meeting, she was very helpful in the planning and booking process. We reviewed the different rooms to ensure I had what I needed, including the right-sized space, and the materials, refreshments, etc put in place. She is very professional, detailed in her communication, and exceptionally diligent in her follow through.

I had an incredible experience working here, but what really made the difference was the service provided by Tannaz, From day one, she was friendly, attentive, and always willing to help with anything I needed. Thanks to their support, I was able to settle in without any issues, quickly resolve any questions, and make the most of everything the place has to offer. It's clear they care about making sure people feel comfortable and well-cared for. Their professionalism and warmth made the experience even more positive. The space itself is modern, well-equipped, and offers a perfect environment for focusing. But without a doubt, the human touch is what would make me come back and recommend it to others. Thank you for everything
