Any suggestions for hotdesking locations that meet the following?

- Home location in West London (Hammersmith/Chiswick ideal)
- Additional locations in/very near Mayfair, Bank/Moorgate, Canary Wharf
- Hotdesking only
- Able to access other locations without paying an extra fee

Wework fails on two of these criteria. Extensive Googling suggests only Spaces that could work - but their website is coy about pricing which makes me think there is a catch.

Cheers

I don’t know what your profession is or if you’ve worked in a coworking space before but I found making calls and stuff is pretty hard in a co-working space. Once you’ve found somewhere, I would try it for a month and see if you like it.

Thanks so much. Nearly ideal, but no locations in west London until next year.

I can time my calls, and while working I have headphones in so not bothered about background noise. After 20+ years working on a trading desk setup in an investment bank, I'm pretty good at blanking noise around me.

The coworking space is solely to impose more discipline than I currently have working from home. The month trial is a good suggestion, thanks.

Thank you, yes. Wework has nothing in Mayfair only Soho, and charges extra for other locations. Workspace has no coworking locations in the West End at all, although the price looks right.

Regus? Not sure what their co-working offering is but they have offices just about everywhere.

It may be more convenient - although probably not the cheapest option - to find space in whichever centres work best for you geographically, and pay by the day, rather than signing up to a full package with any single large provider

After holidays, days with clients, working from home etc I rarely need more than 10 days per month hot-desking, so pay by the day to attend one of two (smaller, independent co-working spaces) that are most convenient on the day. One is near clients, one is near home.

Take a look at Huckletree - massive new space right by White City tube. I was really impressed when u was there for a month earlier this year and will be back.
