New space for “forward thinking” tech businesses launches in the heart of Old Street

Techspace, “the place where innovative and ambitious tech companies thrive”, has launched its seventh European hub, on Worship Street.

Situated in the heart of Old Street, Techspace opens its doors to “forward thinking” businesses as it continues to build out its portfolio in areas popular with technology companies.

Jonathan Bevan, CEO of Techspace, commented: “Our new space is in the epicentre of London’s booming tech scene, right near the landmark Google Campus’ location, which put Old Street on the map in the early “Silicon Roundabout” days.

“We’ve proudly spent a decade supporting entrepreneurs and their teams in East London and our new space is reflective of the evolving needs of scaleups.

“With hybrid work being the status quo in tech, it’s more important than ever that we locate in areas where members travelling from popular commuter towns are well served. Worship Street has all that our members’ need and more.”

In its recent Scaleup Culture Report developed with YouGov, which surveyed more than 1,000 people in UK tech, Techspace found that Londoners are most likely to work for a company with a hybrid work model, as opposed to fully remote or full-time in the office. Londoners also spend 32 percent more time commuting when compared to other regions.

A short walk from Old Street roundabout, Liverpool Street and Moorgate Station, Worship Street will add around 20,000 square feet to Techspace’s existing portfolio in East London and grow its curated community to over 4,000 members across Europe.

As well as a roof terrace with views over Shoreditch, Worship Street will also provide neighbouring Techspace buildings easy access to bookable amenities on offer, which include five “state-of-the-art” meeting rooms, a production room for video content and podcasts, and Worship Street’s beautifully designed event space, The Lightwell.

The new location will be home to members Plaid and Zoa, alongside existing member Agicap as they expand their team in London.

Brendan Regan, revenue lead at Plaid, added: “Worship Street ticks all the boxes when it comes to connectivity and amenity. The space is thoughtfully designed and we have the freedom to customise every aspect of the Plaid office, creating a personalised environment for our team.

“Amenities such as the roof terrace and member cafe allow our team to have different places to connect and work and it’s these kinds of features that we look forward to when we come to the office. Techspace also offers a huge level of flexibility with its Studio allowing for overspill on our busiest days in the office.”
