Building potential

Interim Spaces is one of the UK’s leading providers of truly affordable, flexible and sustainable workspace.

An impact-focused interim use specialist led by arts professionals, our work unlocks significant social and economic capital by repurposing empty buildings. We pride ourselves on delivering high quality studios and workspace that is truly affordable to our end users: freelancers, micro-businesses, bootstrap startups and entrepreneurs, artists, creatives and non-profit organisations.

  • Our workspaces are truly affordable, significantly under market rents, with meeting spaces granted for free to local community groups.
  • We provide ancillary services to the arts and cultural sector via low-cost rehearsal and development studios.
  • We help ameliorate the effects of social isolation, a growing mental health concern in the UK, from working alone in flats, houseshares, cafés, the library and other public spaces.
  • Subsidy is built into the scheme: coworking membership prices and per-square-foot studio rates are set low for everyone, and a sponsorship programme goes further for those in particular need.
Having a studio at PopHub has been life-changing, elevating my business by giving me greater access to clients at an affordable central London address, away from home and cafés.
This is a really great space, and is truly unheard of in terms of price and location. I absolutely love working here and the sense of community and shared purpose is really something.
Amazing for my mental health. Working from home is so bad for me but I didn’t really have a choice. Getting out the house in an affordable way has been so good for having a healthy work-life balance.
PopHub has provided Showerbox private meeting space right where we need it, in the centre of London, and without charge because of the work we do. The quiet, calming room has become a sanctuary for us all.
