Very functional well organised work space. Far superior to the one I currently use and its cheaper.

Just moved in with my team in the start of summer. The WeWork employees at this location are probably the most hospitable people. They should be cloned and hotels should hire them! My first week I had the joy of being treated to breakfast one morning and mezze platters one evening. They also got a massage session in for the day—i took my colleague’s spot as he couldn’t make his appointment, it was the best week ever. The employees here are so nice and take care of a lot of things for my team (tech issues, Parcels that went to another WeWork building, genuine kindness at the desk). Keep it up City Road.

Lovely staff, super friendly and professional, and great new offices, delicious coffee, exciting activities and networking events for members. We are thrilled. Can't wait for their rooftop to be ready!

Super annoying the fact that people just don't care about the other people who are waiting to use the booths. They stay there for hours and hours!

WeWork 145 City Road is a fairly new location with problems still being fixed like water and air conditioning being cut off for two days the last week of July. The temperature control in the building is erratic at best, delivering the five seasons all in one day, from North Pole cold to Atacama Dessert warm.
On the basis of my personal, non expert view, joining WeWork can be an exchange of privacy for community. A thriving community requires it's members to be self aware and respectful of each other. Not all members at 145 City Road are self aware and respectful which is simply down to the large number of people in the building. In a way, WeWork benefits and suffers of the same dynamics as a gym membership - relative to the time you visit, it is either an oasis of calm or busy chaos. While there is plenty of meeting rooms across the six floors, these have to paid with WeWork credits. Each WeWork credit has a monetary value of £20. Booking a room for an hour will cost between 1 to 3 tokens, depending on the size of the room.
The community element in the building is very strong with lots of events that bring people with common business needs and personal interests together.
This specific location is a combination of corporates using WeWork as an offload location, hipeters and regular independent folks doing their thing. There is an unmistakable vibe and energy which is emblematic of the "scale and hustle" culture that WeWork has tapped into. If you are considering WeWork 145 City Road I would suggest paying a little extra for an office with a wall, a view of the outdoors or both.
The extras that lure so many individuals and companies to WeWork is a mixed bag. Free coffee and tea is limited to machines in each floor and one lonely barista in the mezzanine level with long, long cues forming in the morning. The free beer and proseco on tap starts at 3 PM. The free fruit and snacks is minimal with most of it running out very quickly. The reality is that if WeWork really wanted to fully live up to their promise of unlimited coffee, tea and snacks, they would install an extra barrista and top-up the snacks more regularly. However they run a business and need to control their costs while growing their customer base.
Their app and new member onboarding service is great for the exception of their printing service which is diabolically complicated and it truly serves to reduce paper usage. I am convinced it is a niffty and commendable ploy to reduce paper usage and meet their carbon footprint goals. The community managers and WeWork staff are wonderfully friendly, well drilled and amazingly efficient.
Bottom line is that WeWork 145 City Road lacks consistency and while it delivers a community environment and the flexibility to scale, it has much Work to do before it lives up to its true potential.

Is okay, the security seem very unconcerned and as if they cannot be bothered to help those visiting/using the building

''let's make things halfassed and super cheap, cut corners then call it trendy/hipster''
Yes, look at the ceiling... no ceiling. Half the walls are just pure concrete, not even plastered. They rob hipsters blind but hipsters are too stupid to realize. And the maintenance/management team? Someone high up got the papers and wanted to ''cut costs'' but has zero experience with ANYTHING. They cut EVERYTHING to the point where it doesn't even work. Underpaid, understaffed, undertrained maintenance and management. I worked in maintenance.
Oh and you'll love the fact that the prices are insanely high. Of course. Because brainwashed hipsters who use apple products think that high price means high quality. No, this is england... high price, low quality.
Please, be my guest, go look for yourself!
