Our judges couldn't stop raving about this amazing venue, and we totally see why: "The Ministry in Borough is hands down one of the coolest coworking spaces we've ever come across! If there was a top Christmas decoration prize these guys would have to win it every year. It's like stepping into a winter wonderland with amazing Christmas decorations everywhere. Plus, they've got a buzzing atmosphere and tons of extra perks for their members."
We had the chance to chat with Alex Latham, the Director of The Ministry, who graciously shared some insights on what makes this place so great.

Take us back to the beginning, how did it all start?
In 1991, we opened a nightclub called Ministry of Sound in a forgotten corner of South London. We went on to become the world’s largest independent record company – you probably have one our compilation CDs collecting dust somewhere.
Thirty years later we opened The Ministry, a workspace run as a member’s club, in a 50,000 sqft Victorian warehouse in SE1. The design is relaxed but functional with a bar, opening windows, gym, an outside courtyard and plenty of space to sit, relax, work and socialise – everything you wouldn’t expect to find in a standard office.

How does The Ministry model work?
At TM we keep it simple; 3 levels of membership, Hot Desk, Fixed Desk, and Private office. All members get access to our incredible facilities including gym, bar, deli, terrace, fitness studio, and meeting rooms. Experience is at the forefront of everything we do.

What is it like to be a member at The Ministry?
You arrive in the morning and are greeted with a smile from our Deli team as they prepare your favourite coffee. You head upstairs to your beautifully designed office, bathed in sunlight from the large opening windows. At lunch, you pick up a delicious salad, freshly prepared by our ex-Ottolenghi chef, and head to our events space for a panel talk on building your personal brand. After work, an expertly led fitness class in our Box studio awaits, followed by a quick glow up in our decadent vanity area and a party with DJs and live music in our bar.

What kind of companies call The Ministry home?
We have businesses from a wide range of sectors including marketing, accounting, architecture, sports betting, and even the company creating the market-leading vegan bacon. Two of the key pillars of The Ministry are amenity and experience. As more businesses look to gain and retain top talent, they are realising that spaces like ours give their staff something that cannot be found in the typical office and enhance their everyday working lives.

What is the best thing about The Ministry?
It’s hard to pinpoint one thing, but put simply, ‘the vibe’. Everyone asks what our secret is, but it’s a result of over 30 years of creating globally renowned experiences that many have tried to replicate, unsuccessfully.
