This centre is east London’s coworking space and innovation centre that believes in the power of collaboration. The spacious, 68,000 square foot workspace has been designed with accessibility in mind and comes with plenty of meeting rooms and snugs and private booths that are free to use. Taking a hot desk, fixed desk, or private office membership gets you access to our community: over 700 innovators who are using technology to solve some of society’s biggest challenges. Join a community of startups, scale-ups, large corporations, charities and social enterprises that work in cybersecurity, mobility, inclusion, VR, AI, edtech and many more. Benefits include 1:1 consultations with finance and insurance experts (plus Plexal’s innovation team), showers and bike racks, an indoor park, IT support, community events programme (everything from yoga to meetups for founders) and workshop space for rapid prototyping. This centre also has its own in-house innovation consultancy team who deliver programmes for clients such as Innovate UK, Transport for London and the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport. The team looks for opportunities to connect members with Plexal’s public sector and enterprise clients.
