Need more than a single desk? A flexible office space plan lets a whole team mix hot desks, meeting rooms, and private offices under one booking.
When should you choose a hot desk over a private office?
A hot desk fits solo days, client trips, and the odd focus session away from home. You get a professional room, fast Wi-Fi, and coffee without signing a lease. If you need a locked door, a fixed address, or space for a team every day, look at private offices instead — but for flexible, pay-as-you-go work, a hot desk wins.
