Location
East London is a melting pot and magnet for creatives, the media, universities, tech startups and global businesses – and Here East, the dedicated innovation campus where Plexal is based, is the beating heart of that.
Office description
This centre is east London’s coworking space and innovation centre that believes in the power of collaboration. The spacious, 68,000 square foot workspace has been designed with accessibility in mind, and comes with plenty of meeting rooms, as well as snugs and private booths that are free to use. Taking a hot desk, fixed desk or private office membership gets you access to the our community: over 700 innovators who are using technology to solve some of society’s biggest challenges. Join a community of startups, scaleups, large corporations, charities and social enterprises that work in cybersecurity, mobility, inclusion, VR, AI, edtech and many more. This space is based at Here East: a tech campus in east London’s Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. It’s just a 10-minute walk from Hackney Wick train station or you can catch a free shuttle bus from Stratford train, underground and bus stations. We also have our own in-house innovation consultancy team who deliver programmes for clients such as Innovate UK, Transport for London and the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport. The team looks for opportunities to connect members with Plexal’s public sector and enterprise clients. Our members enjoy life at buzzing Canalside, where you’ll find bars, cafes, a barber shop and restaurants. There are also regular events and street food on campus at Here East. Benefits include 1:1 consultations with finance and insurance experts, showers and bike racks, an indoor park, IT support, community events programme (everything from yoga to meetups for founders) and a workshop space for rapid prototyping.
