Just announced: x+why are coming to Clapham Junction

Exciting news for South London! The incredible Arding & Hobbs building at Clapham Junction, a former Edwardian department store, is soon becoming a vibrant hub for work, socialising and community, a place designed to make your day that little bit better and brighter. x+why are thrilled to be partnering with fellow B Corp property specialists W.RE to breathe new life and vibrancy into this historic space.  

Set to open our new spaces in Spring/ Summer 2025, x+why will be occupying the third floor of the 27,500 sq ft landmark, introducing premium flexible workspace options from private offices to dedicated desks to day rooms, meeting rooms and glamorous event spaces.  

This state-of-the-art space will also include the next edition of our signature clubspaces, such as The Orchard in Marble Arch and eighteen in Birmingham. Watch this space. More will be revealed soon on this. Founding membership applications are open and flooding in.

Swap tube-stop views for rooftop views.

Our multi award winning in-house design team, whydesign, are working round the clock on inspiring, sustainability-led interiors with Arts and Crafts touches, including salvaged pieces and features from the building’s past and heritage.  

The newly landscaped roof terrace at Arding & Hobbs offers panoramic views across London, providing tenants and visitors with a stunning outdoor space to unwind. Alongside x+why’s upcoming workspace and clubspace, the building also hosts a Third Space gym offering reformer pilates and hot yoga, Prezzemolo & Vitale and Botanica Hall offer incredible dining options too.

Conveniently located. Beautifully curated.

This revitalisation breathes fresh life into Clapham Junction, reinvigorating the local business ecosystem and creating a dynamic community hub. For workers, local residents, and hybrid commuters, this central, accessible location—a stone’s throw from Clapham Junction Station and just eight minutes by train from Victoria Station—offers an unmatched blend of style and convenience. The new Arding & Hobbs building is poised to become South London’s go-to destination for work, wellness, and vibrant community, embodying the spirit of purpose, creativity and innovation that x+why work to foster. The clubspace is set to be the icing on the cake. We can’t wait to show you.

Rupert Dean, CEO and co-founder of x+why - “At x+why we are always looking to be in the best buildings and locations, and so are delighted to have the opportunity to partner with W.RE in the special Arding & Hobbs and bring our forward thinking workspace offering south of the river to Clapham Junction in this historic building.  

Modern work is not about going into the office to sit at a desk and this offer will not only service the tenants of the building but also the local community who can now access this incredible space as part of hybrid working or as a space to have fun. x+why’s space will perfectly complement the neighbouring tenants, Botanica Hall and Third Space, providing a destination hub to work, exercise and socialise for both the local community and those further afield due to its proximity to London’s busiest train station.”
