WOLF in Balham offers London's most accessible entry point at £10 per day with free filter coffee, though it's café-style seating rather than dedicated desks. For proper coworking, Tooting Works provides day passes at £21.99, supporting local enterprise charity Business Launchpad. ARC Club Earlsfield stands out with transparent VAT-inclusive pricing: part-time membership at £125 monthly or full-time at £210. The Start Up Wandsworth hubs at Putney and York Gardens libraries offer council-backed workspace at estimated £10-20 daily rates. For fixed desks, The Croosh Hub near Northcote Road delivers neighbourhood value at £399 plus VAT monthly with 24/7 access.
The Engine Room at Battersea Power Station makes the strongest impression, occupying two floors of the restored Boiler House with multiple meeting rooms and a double-height business club. The Gatehouse by Spacemade in Wandsworth Town offers three bookable rooms seating 6-10 people from £40-60 hourly, while The Landing by Spacemade in Putney includes a podcast studio alongside traditional meeting spaces from £30 hourly. For smaller budgets, Le Bureau at Battersea Studios provides rooms for up to 8 people with all-inclusive pricing. ARC Club Earlsfield's 12-person riverside meeting room offers a distinctive setting with zoom booths for pre-meeting calls.
Wandsworth's coworking scene benefits from exceptional connectivity. The Engine Room sits directly above Battersea Power Station's Northern Line terminus, while HomeWork Southfields is just one minute from the District Line. Most venues cluster near major rail stations: The Gatehouse and HomeWork Wandsworth both lie within 5-8 minutes of Wandsworth Town station, while The Landing and HQ Putney are 4-6 minutes from Putney rail. Le Bureau at Battersea Studios offers multiple options with Battersea Park and Queenstown Road stations 3-5 minutes away. Even Tooting Works, furthest south, sits equidistant between Tooting Broadway Underground and Tooting rail at 10 minutes each.
Wandsworth's venues differentiate through distinctive amenities. The Gatehouse features an on-site Peloton bike and dedicated yoga room for wellness-focused professionals. Scratch Hub operates within Battersea Arts Centre's historic building, offering creative workers a plant-filled sanctuary with regular talks and performances. The Landing includes a professional podcast studio alongside traditional workspace. Le Bureau provides rare on-site parking at Battersea Studios, while The Croosh Hub welcomes dogs in its intimate 15-desk setting. WOLF combines daytime coworking with evening transformation into a cocktail bar, and Tooting Works channels profits directly to Business Launchpad charity.
Battersea dominates with seven venues including premium options at Battersea Power Station and creative spaces around Lavender Hill. The Wandsworth Town to Putney corridor hosts five venues, with Spacemade operating both The Gatehouse and The Landing alongside HomeWork locations. Earlsfield punches above its weight with three options: ARC Club's riverside location, Needspace's business centre, and another HomeWork branch. Southfields and Tooting each support single venues, while Balham's WOLF serves the southeastern corner. This distribution reflects commuter patterns, with highest density near Clapham Junction's transport interchange and the Northern Line extension.
Wandsworth's pricing spans from budget to premium tiers. Day passes range from WOLF's £10 café setup to £85 at The Engine Room. Monthly hot-desking starts around £125 for ARC Club Earlsfield's part-time access, rising to £139-£210 for full access at various venues. Fixed desks cluster between £250-£399 monthly, with Le Bureau offering all-inclusive pricing at £399 and The Croosh Hub matching this plus VAT. Premium options reach £449 for large desks at Le Bureau or £389+ at The Engine Room's Regus operation. Most venues charge £30-60 hourly for meeting rooms, though some include room access in membership packages.
Scratch Hub at Battersea Arts Centre explicitly targets creatives within a heritage arts venue, offering tranquil plant-filled workspace with regular creative talks and performances. Idea Space near Lavender Hill cultivates a creative community vibe in its cosy setting 10 minutes from Clapham Junction. The Gatehouse attracts design-conscious professionals with its hospitality-style interiors and wellness amenities. For budget-conscious creatives, Tooting Works provides affordable workspace while supporting social enterprise, and WOLF's £10 daily rate suits writers and designers seeking café atmosphere. The Landing's podcast studio specifically serves content creators and media professionals.
Le Bureau leads with 220 desks across Battersea Studios, creating a substantial community of independents and small teams. Mid-sized options include Scratch Hub's 50-desk capacity and multiple Spacemade locations accommodating dozens of members. Intimate venues like The Croosh Hub limit membership to 15 dedicated desks, fostering close-knit professional relationships. Meeting room capacities vary from The Croosh Hub's 8-person boardroom to ARC Club Earlsfield's 12-seat riverside room. The Engine Room at Battersea Power Station offers multiple meeting rooms across two floors but doesn't disclose total desk capacity, maintaining flexibility for its premium clientele.
Independent operators dominate Wandsworth's coworking landscape, offering stronger local character than chain alternatives. ARC Club Earlsfield exemplifies independent advantages with transparent VAT-inclusive pricing and riverside charm, while Le Bureau's 220-desk community has thrived since before the coworking boom. Spacemade bridges the gap, operating multiple sites with consistent quality but local touches like The Gatehouse's Peloton bike. Chain presence remains limited to IWG's Engine Room and HQ Putney locations, which offer corporate reliability but less personality. Independent venues typically provide better value: compare The Croosh Hub's £399 fixed desk with full amenities against similar chain offerings at £450+.
24/7 access has become standard for fixed-desk members across Wandsworth. The Engine Room at Battersea Power Station provides round-the-clock access for all membership tiers, while Tooting Works and The Croosh Hub extend 24/7 privileges to monthly members. ARC Club Earlsfield opens early and late for members needing flexibility around standard hours. HomeWork sites offer Saturday opening and late access options for members, recognising weekend working patterns. The Gatehouse and The Landing by Spacemade provide extended hours for dedicated desk holders. WOLF takes an opposite approach, strictly limiting coworking to 8am-6pm weekdays before transforming into an evening venue. Library-based Start Up Wandsworth hubs follow civic hours but are extending opening times from September 2025.
