30th July 2020 – When Hornsey Town Hall in Crouch End reopens in 2021/2022, a stunning open plan co-working hub will form an integral part of the new Arts Centre, in the heart of one of North London’s most creative communities. Designed to attract entrepreneurs, freelancers, creatives and small business owners from the local community and new residents living at Hornsey Town Hall; the facility will meet a cultural shift towards individuals wanting to work from home and the desire to live within and be a part of a community.
Currently, 49.2% of adults in employment in the UK are working from home as a result of the pandemic.1 According to a poll by iNews of 1,500 UK business owners, 53% said working from home has increased overall productivity, with a further 82% saying they are considering changing future work practices, to allow working from home once lockdown is over.1 This has also lead to big companies such as Google, Facebook and Twitter taking steps in allowing staff to work from home for the foreseeable future.
The co-working offering at Hornsey Town Hall will be operated by The Time + Space Co. There will be a hybrid of flexible workspace available including options to utilise communal spaces such as the foyer and reception, among other areas. In addition, larger event venues and meeting spaces can be hired at discounted rates for members. For those who thrive off some social interaction at work, Hornsey Town Hall offers that ideal balance of privacy whilst providing a space for people to mingle and share ideas, alleviating any isolation that comes from working strictly from home.
Angela Walsh, Sales & Marketing Director at Far East Consortium, the developer behind Hornsey Town Hall, comments:
“In recent months, the importance of being able to work from home has become an essential feature of our homes; needing a space which allows us to be efficient and productive. We are excited that Hornsey Town Hall will offer just that as part of our Arts Centre. We hope that locals and residents will love the newly formatted 21st-century style working spaces, which embrace the new way of working, by providing a ‘home from home’ office experience.”
