The inspiring Mission Room has amphitheater-style seating looking on to it - which could become the backdrop to your next TedTalk. As a likeminded community of entrepreneurs, creatives and change-makers, we’ll also provide the audience.

The backbone of a strong community has always been: a shared purpose, rituals, story-telling, connectedness, trust, interaction, identity and shared experiences. We achieve this through 3 key Cornerstones: conversation, collaboration, and fun! At our spaces, you and your team are not just another cog in the wheel of an uninspired building, but a fundamental part of our greater brand mission.

The benefit of being able to collaborate on projects more easily and brainstorm together in person is invaluable. Having the chance to do this without extortionate London rental contracts in an inspiring space can lead to greater focus, increased productivity and can boost the morale of your team.

If you only need a meeting room or event space sporadically, shared office spaces allow you to use the additional facilities on demand, whether it’s for a few hours or full days. Our events space offers a great chance for networking and building connections and we also host regular themed events such as members breakfasts for newcomers to connect.

Satisfying Surroundings

{{divider}}

Chiswick is a popular destination for businesses looking to enjoy all the trappings of London Town, at a distance that equally accommodates the more peaceful and scenic nature of suburbia - blending the best of both worlds. West London has long been considered a valuable base for creative and innovative entrepreneurs.

Fuller’s Brewery is the largest and oldest brewery in London, encapsulating much of what the area has to offer in the way of classical history and tasteful character. Some of the most popular eating spots in the area include the colourful Annie’s with its all american buttermilk pancakes and afternoon cocktails, Chiswick Fire Station for its sense of community and their ethos to use fresh, scratch-cooked food and well-sourced ingredients throughout their entire menu, and Villa di Geggiano which is inspired by a villa in Tuscany. Much of the ingredients are imported from the Villa and surrounding Tuscan farms, and are then prepared as classic Italian dishes, like a ricotta and spinach ravioli and a risotto with Tuscan sausage and saffron.

Chiswick is home to Chiswick House - a neo-palladian villa regarded as one of the finest in England, as well as Hogarth’s House, the former residence of the 18th century English artist William Hogarth. The surrounding grounds of Chiswick House are among the most important historical gardens in England and Wales, forming one of the first english landscape gardens.

Chiswick Mall is a waterfront street on the north bank of the River Thames in the oldest part of Chiswick near St Nicholas Church. It consists mainly of some thirty ‘grand houses’ from the Georgian and Victorian eras, many of them now listed buildings. The largest and finest house on the street is Walpole House, a Grade I listed building; part of which is Tudor.

Duke's Meadows stands on land formerly owned by the Duke of Devonshire. In the 1920s, it was purchased by the local council, who developed it as a recreational centre. A promenade and bandstand were built, and the meadows are still used for sport with a rugby club, football pitches, hockey club, several rowing clubs and a golf club.

If you’re feeling cultured, Syon House is the lavish home of the Duke of Northumberland, built in the 1500s. The house includes a great hall based on a Roman basilica and a bedroom used by Queen Victoria. The 3rd Duke built the spectacular Great Conservatory in the 1820s and is thought to be the earliest of its kind in the country. The gardens are Grade I listed, were landscaped by Capability Brown and include a collection of rare trees and plants, a rose garden and circular lakeside walk.

Alongside its calmer, suburbian character, Chiswick is known for some of its festivals. September is the busiest festival month, with Tidefest, a celebration of the Thames at Strand on the Green; the Devonshire Road Street Party, hosted each year by the independent shops that line the street; the London Mela in Gunnersbury Park, the country’s largest celebration of South Asian culture, and the Chiswick Book Festival. Christmas holidays bring the Magic Lantern Festival in the grounds of Chiswick House.
