Soho's coworking DNA is uniquely creative, with venues like Fora Broadwick Street partnering with Soho Radio for basement podcast studios and Soho Works Dean Street bringing Soho House's hospitality approach to the workspace. Unlike the corporate feel of Canary Wharf or the tech focus of Shoreditch, Soho attracts media companies, PR agencies, and creative entrepreneurs who value the area's cultural heritage.
The density here is remarkable: within a 5-minute walk of Oxford Circus, you'll find everything from WeWork's refreshed Great Chapel Street building to boutique options like The Boutique Workplace's Georgian townhouse at 36 Soho Square. This concentration means you can tour multiple venues in a single lunch break.
Entry-level hot-desking starts around £115/month at The Boutique Workplace's members' lounge network, while dedicated desks at established players like Huckletree Soho run £600/month. For context, Work.Life Soho offers unlimited London coworking from £350+VAT monthly, while premium options like Fora's dedicated desks reach £700+VAT.
Day passes vary wildly: 01zero-one on Hopkins Street charges just £30/day for basic hot-desking, while Huckletree's more amenity-rich environment starts at £35+VAT. If you're booking through Zipcube, you'll often find package deals that include meeting room credits, particularly useful given Soho meeting rooms typically run £59-79/hour.
For serious meeting needs, Fora Broadwick Street leads with 8 rooms accommodating 4-32 people, plus The Hideaway event space for up to 150 standing. Their tech-enabled rooms start from £59/hour. Meanwhile, Air Space Oxford Street offers a first-floor events room with professional AV and screening equipment, ideal for presentations.
Smaller teams appreciate eOffice's video-conferencing setups across multiple rooms handling 2-30 people theatre-style, starting at £67/hour. For podcast recording, both Soho Works Dean Street and Runway East Old Compton Street have dedicated studios included in membership packages.
The Elizabeth line has transformed access to Soho's coworking scene. WeWork's 16 Great Chapel Street sits just 2-3 minutes from Tottenham Court Road's new Elizabeth line entrance, making cross-London commutes significantly easier. Most venues cluster within a 5-10 minute walk of either Oxford Circus or Tottenham Court Road stations.
Work.Life Soho on Noel Street offers perhaps the best connectivity at 5 minutes from Oxford Circus, while southern options like Runway East Old Compton Street split the difference between Leicester Square and Tottenham Court Road at 5 minutes each. The Boutique Workplace at 11 Golden Square manages just 3 minutes to Piccadilly Circus.
Huckletree Soho on Ingestre Place has earned its reputation as the VC and founder hub, with resident desks at £600/month and a community packed with funds and scale-ups. Their four-level Brutalist building includes strong programming and networking events. For larger teams, Runway East's Wardour Street enterprise suites accommodate 20-130 desks with flexible 12-36 month terms.
Budget-conscious founders often start at SOHOST on Berwick Street, where monthly memberships run £150-600 depending on the plan, and the dog-friendly, community vibe attracts early-stage creative ventures. The Friday breakfast tradition has become something of a Soho startup ritual.
Beyond the big names, 01zero-one on Hopkins Street offers no-frills hot-desking from £30/day in a creative production hub just off Berwick Street Market. They even provide iMac-equipped desks for £50/day. Podium's Dock Club at 54 Poland Street runs a boutique members' lounge in a classic Edwardian building, with day passes from £36.
The Boutique Workplace operates two characterful period properties at 36 Soho Square and 11 Golden Square, offering network-wide lounge access from just £115/month. These Grade II-listed buildings provide a calmer alternative to the busier coworking brands while maintaining that quintessential Soho character.
Fora Broadwick Street stands out with its partnership with Soho Radio for basement podcast studios, while also offering a gym and roof terrace across seven floors. Soho Works Dean Street brings Soho House's signature style with curated events and a content creation studio included in membership.
WeWork Medius House on Sheraton Street features a screening room for about 12 people in a building with music publishing heritage. For outdoor space, Huckletree Soho and Runway East Old Compton Street both offer roof terraces, while Air Space Oxford Street provides multiple terrace areas across its floors.
Hot-desking works brilliantly for Soho's transient creative culture. Work.Life's unlimited London coworking from £350/month lets you work from Noel Street Monday, then Shoreditch Tuesday. However, dedicated desks at venues like Fora Wardour Street (from £600/month) guarantee your spot in this high-demand area and usually include storage.
Consider your meeting patterns too: WeWork's All Access membership at £269/month includes app-based room booking across all locations, while a dedicated desk at Huckletree (£600/month) comes with generous meeting room credits. Through Zipcube, you can often trial both options with day passes before committing.
For pure value, The Boutique Workplace's members' lounge network at £115/month or £1,150/year gives you drop-in access across multiple Soho locations including 36 Soho Square and 11 Golden Square. Air Space Oxford Street offers hot-desking from around £250/month with access to terraces and an events floor.
Day-rate hunters should check 01zero-one's £30/day hot-desks or £120/week deals. SOHOST reportedly offers memberships from £150-600/month depending on frequency, though they're selective about membership. Through Zipcube's platform, you can compare real-time availability and often secure better rates than walking in directly.
For impressing clients, Fora's Broadwick Street or Wardour Street locations offer polished environments with professional meeting rooms from £59-79/hour. The Broadwick venue particularly impresses with its seven floors and gallery-style spaces. Soho Works Dean Street brings that Soho House cachet, perfect for creative industry meetings.
More intimate client conversations suit The Boutique Workplace's period properties, where the Georgian architecture at 36 Soho Square or Grade II-listed 11 Golden Square provides sophisticated backdrops. eOffice's multiple Soho locations offer video-conferencing equipped rooms from £67/hour when you need to loop in remote stakeholders.
