Over the past two months, the public was naming their favourite workspaces and venues within the UK (and beyond), by voting for them in Tally Workspace's brand new awards - The Tallys.
The response to The Tallys first-ever call for entries was exceptional, with over 500 votes. This came as no surprise, as there are so many innovative, visionary and successful workspaces.
All of the venues were nominated by the public. The winner for 'The Venue of The Year' has been decided by the public, while the winners in other categories were in the hands of the esteemed panel of judges: David Savage, Bernie Mitchell, Anouk Agussol, Graham Hussey, Zoe Ellis-Moore and Perdie Alder.
Without further ado, here are this year's winners:

Only Connect King’s Cross is an amazing co-working venue located in a stunning grade II listed building, only a short walk away from the King’s Cross Station. And the best part is 100% of their profits go towards charity!
What the public had to say:
“All profits go to a charity that supports individuals recently released from prison, by helping them find a job and hobbies, giving them the opportunity to start their lives fresh. A very worthy cause.”
“These folks are thinking deeper about the world than what is now 'standard issue' sustainability. Their "Handshake not Handout" motto and using coworking to get people back in society do more for me than the others in this category.”
“Social responsibility is at the heart of everything they do, by giving 100% of their profits to their charity.”
“100% of profit to charity”
