In our latest blog post, we explore why workspaces, both physical and flexible, are making a strong comeback and how they’re reshaping work culture in a post-pandemic world. From battling isolation to fostering innovation, the future of workspaces is looking better than ever.

The pandemic transformed every aspect of our lives, with work being one of the most profoundly affected areas. Remote work became the norm for millions, and for many, it was a surprising shift; …

💻 We are so close to finishing our new and final room ‘the tunnel’ an old cable tunnel that we have converted. It’s been a bit of a slog (we are complete hoarders of things) and getting this space clear and near completion between kids and work has been rough, but it’s nearly there and much needed as we have had quite an increase in members over the summer in line with not being able to open the coffee shop due to work outside.

Our space is definitely not a typical office space, it’s a local workspace run by creatively minded people. It’s quirky, has character and every room is different and our members shape how we grow.

While our full-time workspace membership is the most affordable when compared to any competitor, we quickly realised that if you are a hybrid worker who would only use the space part time, maybe even once or twice a week - we needed an option that reflected this.

This is where our part-timer membership comes in at £45pcm with comp tea and artisan coffee ✨

Find out more on our website here: https://www.matthewsyard.com/join and keep an eye out for when our new room opens.

One of many things we were glad to hoard was this old piece by alecldn, we really like it here and opted for some mustard yellow for the floor instead of the tired MY blue for a change. How are we looking?

We are still very much open for private hire and events despite the scaffolding outside which will be there for the next 12+ months.

PART TIMER’S get all access to our central Croydon workspace with a communal kitchen, 1 Gig fibre, complimentary tea and coffee in the member areas and many more benefits.

Who is it for?
In a hybrid or part-time role and can’t focus at home? This membership works out cheaper than buying day passes (or copious amounts of coffee) to work in local cafes or workspaces and gives you the flexibility to work and grow - when it works for you.

We launched Croydon’s first coworking space in July 2012 and we’ve been rooting for local entrepreneurs ever since. Our original space was selected as one of the top 10 UK workspaces by Crunch Magazine and in 2014 we were one of six to be featured extensively as a case study for a report commissioned by the Mayor of London. We also have different membership options for those who are full-time, need a suite or just looking for a registered office address.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Starting the week with the best newsss: getting a 5 food hygiene rating in our new home, and kicking off the week with a wicked women’s networking event in our space by and welcoming new workspace members 💖

Despite the scaffolding outside, the coffee shop and playroom are open Tuesday to Friday 10am until 3pm and on weekends/ evenings for private events. Just a little more tucked away (in?) than usual.

enjoy the sunshine and see you for an iced latte soon 🌞
