Located on bustling Upper Street, the Business Design Centre offers an exceptional opportunity to lease a workspace in one of London’s most iconic buildings. Originally designed by Joseph Paxton and opened as the Royal Agricultural Hall in 1862, the centre was transformed in 1986 into a modern conference and exhibition venue with over 125,000 sq. ft. of office space. Hosting over 300 events annually, the Business Design Centre provides unparalleled exposure and footfall for any business. Units 211, 213, and 214 can be combined to create flexible office space ranging from 882 to 3,090 sq. ft., designed to accommodate growing businesses and collaborative workspaces. Conveniently situated just 0.2 miles from Angel Underground Station on the Northern Line, the Centre is also within close proximity to Highbury & Islington (Victoria and Overground services) and Kings Cross, making it easily accessible for commuting. The surrounding Islington area offers a diverse selection of shops, restaurants, and cultural attractions, frequented by some of London’s most vibrant and forward-thinking businesses. The Business Design Centre workspace is available on flexible terms and comes fully managed, providing an ideal blend of historic charm and contemporary functionality for today’s dynamic business needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

While storage in coworking spaces is generally limited, and mostly reserved for members with dedicated desks or private offices, you should always check with the coworking operator about additional storage solutions. Fill out the form on the right side of the page to reach out to them and learn all about the available options.
Workpad - The Business Design Centre operates during regular business hours, which are listed above. For any requests or requirements outside of these hours, please contact the coworking operator directly.
Most coworking space amenities are open to all members, regardless of the membership plan. Meeting rooms require prior reservation, and private offices are exclusively available to those with subscription packages. However, the lounge, kitchen, and breakout spaces are open to everyone. Complimentary amenities are also available to all, while ancillary services can be purchased or negotiated individually with International Upload.
Open desks may be the ideal choice if you thrive in a collaborative environment and value the opportunity to connect with fellow coworkers. Dedicated desks, on the other hand, provide a designated space with shared community amenities, catering to those who seek a balance between privacy and interaction.

For ultimate focus and private interactions, private offices are best for solo individuals and teams that seek uninterrupted productivity.

Selecting the most suitable workspace for you typically hinges on your work style and preferences, but it can also be determined by the type of work that you do, its duration, and whether you work alone or in a team.
Flexibility is the cornerstone of coworking, so you always have the option to adjust your workspace to match your current needs. With month-to-month memberships, you can effortlessly upgrade, downgrade, or even switch between different coworking plans.

While the standard practice is to change memberships only once the current one ends, International Upload may be able to offer additional options, so it’s best to reach out to their staff directly.
