UK: Coworking operator Huckletree, has announced two further London signings, in Liverpool Street and Kensington, taking its total footprint to more than 250,000 square feet in the UK and Ireland.
The signings follow Huckletree’s recent launch of a new hub in London’s Oxford Circus dedicated to serving Web3 and AI companies.
The next two openings are part of Huckletree’s wider expansion plans to launch an additional 140,000 square feet of space within the next 12 months.
Opening in September, Huckletree Liverpool Street will span four floors (35,000 square feet) of the newly refurbished, highly sustainable 199 Bishopsgate building. Looking to attract up to 50 businesses the space will cater to “a thriving neighbourhood of FinTech and other innovative players”.
Huckletree Kensington will open its doors in early 2024 and will bring six floors of turnkey, flexible office space to the west London neighbourhood. Taking over a free-standing building by Kensington High Street tube station, the property will feature barista coffee and a rooftop lounge bar.
Both spaces “are designed for modern styles of working and have a range of state of the art amenities including member lounges, rooftop terraces, dedicated wellness spaces and town hall areas”.
Members of all Huckletree spaces have access to tailored programming that includes Huckletree’s Founder Circles and workshop sessions with leading experts, as well as a network of venture capital investors.
Gabriela Hersham, co-founder and CEO of Huckletree, said: “As a company dedicated to supporting business growth and building amazing spaces where people feel happy to come to work, we are incredibly excited by our upcoming expansion into two of London’s most enviable postcodes. This growth will allow us to build an innovation community in Kensington and support the burgeoning fintech ecosystem around Liverpool Street. Our current network of hubs across London, Manchester and Dublin is testament to the infrastructure that we have built since we launched in 2014 – we are looking forward to welcoming more disruptor businesses across London, the world’s innovation capital.”
