Away from the hustle and bustle of Central London, Croydon’s TMRW Hub has been able to build a large coworking space that’s spacious, modern and very stylish.
Importantly, this workspace has been designed specifically for start-ups and established businesses that are building technological innovations. So, if that’s you, you’re in for a range of tech-related events, workshops and resources – and access to a network of like-minded techie peers.
In fact, according to TMRW, the entire management team and board come from the tech industry – so they’re well-placed to advise and support you.
Unusually, TMRW eschews hot desking in favour of dedicated desks. The provider believes its members should have a secure and consistent space for continued growth.
