Outdoor Workspace at People's Mission Hall Coworking Space bookable on Tally Workspace

The summer is here, and with it comes the inevitable heat wave. But don't let that stop you and your team from enjoying the great outdoors!

What are the benefits of an outdoor workspace?

There is plenty of research that demonstrates that being outdoors has benefits for people's mental health - a 2019 study showed that spending 120 minutes a week in a natural environment boosts both good health and well being. Whilst Mind (the mental charity) states that being outdoors can improve your mood, reduce feelings of stress or anger and help you feel more relaxed.

The best part is you'll be able to get some vitamin D while still getting work done. Just make sure you stock up on sunscreen before heading out!

Without further ado, here are our top 10 favourites London workspaces with outdoor workspaces:

1. Second Home Spitalfields, 68 Hanbury St, London, E1 5JL

The rooftop at Second Home (on the top floor) has amazing views over London. If you want to avoid screen glare in the summer, they also often open up the large windows onto the roof terrace, so you can benefit from fresh air without having to worry about not being able to see your computer screen.

With the strapline "Going green is in our nature" Second Home Spitaflields is definitely not an office space where you will be short of greenery - with 100s of live plants across multiple floors even if it is not the weather to be working in the outdoor space you can still benefit from a workspace that brings the outdoors in!
