As restrictions in England begin to ease slightly, and with businesses preparing for a return to the office in the not too distant future, one of the key considerations for businesses is where employees will work. With social distancing measures likely to remain in place for some time, flexible workspaces in suburban areas of cities could provide a solution to avoiding public transport where possible and negate the need to travel to busy city centres.

Flexible workspaces have implemented a number of measures to ensure a safe office environment for members, from sanitiser stations at entrances, to one-way systems around the building, and further information on how flexible offices are handling the return to the office can be found here. Our blog series highlights workspaces in key areas of suburban London. Here we round up some of the flexible spaces in and around North East London.
