Our Story
Building better workspaces
Work Nimble was born from a simple idea: that where you work matters as much as what you work on.
From Wanstead to South Woodford
We started with a single vision at Wanstead Works: to create a workspace that felt nothing like a traditional office. A place where natural light, living plants, and warm materials meet high-speed connectivity and professional infrastructure.
The response from our community was overwhelming. Freelancers, startups, remote workers, and growing businesses all found their stride in our spaces. That momentum led us to open our second location at South Woodford Works — complete with a professional podcast studio, premium meeting rooms, and stunning views of the George Lane high street.
Today, Work Nimble is home to over 200 members across two locations. But we're more than a workspace provider — we're a community of makers, thinkers, and doers who believe in supporting each other.
Our Values
What drives us
Community First
We believe the best work happens in great company. Our spaces are designed to foster meaningful connections between members.
Designed for Focus
Every detail — from acoustics to lighting to plant placement — is intentional. We create environments where deep work thrives.
Biophilic by Nature
Greenery isn't decoration. It's infrastructure. Plants clean the air, reduce stress, and make our spaces feel alive.
Local to the Core
We're rooted in East London. Our coffee is locally roasted, our events celebrate local talent, and our doors are open to the neighbourhood.
Sustainability
Working towards a greener future
Sustainability isn't a buzzword for us — it's built into every decision. From our biophilic design philosophy to our locally sourced coffee, we're committed to reducing our environmental footprint while creating spaces that genuinely improve the working day.
- Plants throughout purifying the space
- Locally sourced, organic coffee & snacks
- Zero single-use plastics policy
- Cycle-to-work scheme for members
