£3k pa for worldwide access
There's plenty of co-working spaces that are a lot more than that for anything more than occasional access.
(The one I use is £249/mo before VAT for unlimited access. And that just gets you a hot desk, not a private desk or meeting room. Free tea/coffee though.)

I'd need to calculate how much I spend on tea/coffee at home, before deciding if £249/mo for a desk is good value...

Friend in music PR essentially runs his business from Shoreditch House.
He takes all calls and meetings in there, takes sandwiches every day to keep costs down, and treats it like a 9-5 office. He leaves for home just as the braying media pintsmen start arriving. It sounds like my idea of hell but apparently was quite cost-competitive when he looked at available options against co-working spaces etc

I love reading about the backlash.
I used to go there a lot in the early 2010s for meetings about financing films. Always in a suit. Probably in a tie too back then.
I didn't really get it until someone explained that it was an office space for creatives who were too small to have their own office in soho. I guess in today's parlance, a weework for creative grifters.
Tbh £3k pa for worldwide access doesn't sound like a lot to me. It's more than most of the St James clubs, but not a crazy amount more.
