Calling all creatives, this is not a drill! The Ministry is that coworking space you've been longing for. A space designed with your productivity, creativity and well-being in mind. Many of you have heard of the famous nightclub The Ministry of Sound. After 22 years of running the successful night club, The Ministry of Sound opened its coworking and flexible workspace and named it The Ministry, in 2018.
We had heard great things about The Ministry, so we decided to explore the coworking space ourselves! We were especially impressed by the attention to details in curating a workspace where members have access to the necessary tools and services for a productive and efficient workday. For example, convenient and smooth room booking (using NexBoard, by the way!), access to a home-made cooked meal and perfectly brewed coffee through the day!
Location
We arrived at The Ministry after a five minutes walk from Borough Station, in London. On the outside, The Ministry looked like a mysterious hideaway for creatives. Unlike most coworking spaces, featuring a sign or a label by the entrance for identification The Ministry flipped the script and instead of a sign, they had an oddly shaped disco ball resting above the entrance doors. With such a subtle distinction, we knew we were in for an adventurous coworking day.

According to Appspace’s 2023 Workplace Experience Trends & Insights Report, 93% of people who work in an office think their organisation could do more to improve the workplace experience. To craft a truly exceptional workplace experience, it’s useful to know what people are actually looking for in an office environment – which, of course, can change over time. So, we decided to do a little digging.
