Sustainable Offices In London
We all have a responsibility to be more environmentally and socially conscious. At both an individual and business level. At home, we might be all switching to oat milk and renewable energy companies, but as a business, it is often hard to know what to do.
Luckily, there are a number of offices in London who like to take care of a lot of the hard work for you. From B-Corp's to charities, here are our top pics for the best sustainable offices in London.
People’s Mission Hall
- 20-22 Whitechapel Road, London E1 1EW
Owned by X+Why who have achieved B-Corp status. No details have been spared a thought when turning this Whitechapel venue into a sustainable office and coworking space. People's Mission Hall is kitted out with low LED lighting, over 456 indoor plants, and a biodiverse roof. They also send zero waste to landfills, everything is either recycled, sent for composting, or turned into energy.
If you choose to take an office with X+Why, you will be required to sign their pledge for better business and commit to improving. This means you'll be surrounded by a community of other businesses all striving towards a more sustainable future.
P.S. For anyone looking to go through the B Corp application process, X+Why offers loads of support through their WhyB program plus 5 extra B Corp points if you have an office within the building.
Alongside private offices, a [day pass to People’s Mission Hall is available to book directly through Tally Workspace]. now(https://www.tallymarket.co.uk/venues/people-s-mission-hall). You can also rent any of their empty private office space by the day or book one of their amazing meeting rooms.

This beautiful Hammersmith coworking and office venue are taking all of the steps necessary to become fully net-zero by 2030. They have over 200 air purifying plants within the space, including a propagation wall where you can add your own cutting if you would like! They also have a zero-waste policy and encourage a give and reuse ecosystem through their library and clothes donation boxes.
Taking it further than just being environmentally conscious, Missionworks has excellent social initiatives. Registered charities with the same values as Missionworks are allowed to utilise the space for free, alongside local entrepreneurs with an early-stage idea.

This is a wonderful coworking venue located near Kings Cross. Social responsibility is at the heart of everything they do, by giving 100% of their profits to their charity. The Only Connect charity, supports individuals recently released from prison, by helping them find work and engage in music, production, and catering courses. A very worthy cause.
Day passes to Only Connect are bookable Tally Workspace. They also have a couple of meetings rooms just in case you want a private space to meet with your team.
With sites across London, Lisbon and Los Angeles, Second Home are usually the first venue that springs to mind when thinking about sustainable office spaces.
