Over the last few years, the way we work has completely transformed. Working from home seemed like the perfect solution at first, but many freelancers, remote workers and business owners are starting to find it a bit isolating. Between the distractions of household chores, the patchy home Wi-Fi and the lack of a clear boundary between work and home life, the novelty has worn off for many.

Because of this, shared workspaces have seen a massive boom in popularity. People are realising that they don’t need to choose between a lonely home setup or the massive expense of a traditional office lease.

At Oak House, we’ve welcomed a steady stream of locals who are making the shift to coworking. They are looking for a place that gives them the structure of a proper working day, but with the freedom to choose exactly when and how they use it.

One of the biggest reasons people love this setup is the natural networking that happens. When you work alone at home, you miss out on those casual chats by the kettle that often lead to new ideas, partnerships or just a bit of friendly advice. In a shared environment like Oak House, you are surrounded by a community of likeminded professionals, freelancers and startups.

At the same time, we know that everyone works differently. That’s why our St John’s space is split up to suit your mood, whether you want to be part of the collaborative buzz in our main coworking space or need to get your head down for some serious focus in our quiet zone.

You get all the perks of a corporate office, like secure keycode entry, printing facilities and professional meeting rooms you can book on demand but with a relaxed, welcoming vibe that makes you actually look forward to Monday morning.
