Keyboards & Dreams, Chancery Lane

Keyboards & Dreams on Hatton Garden is the kind of independent workspace that makes you want to tell people about it. Six floors of private offices in the heart of Farringdon, filled with energetic tech startups, creative teams, and nonprofits doing genuinely good work, and run by a team that clearly cares about the details.

The building has a real personality, full of plants, character, and a community that reviews consistently describe as friendly and warm. Everything is included in one straightforward monthly subscription: bean-to-cup coffee, organic teas, filtered water, fresh fruit, free beer from the fridge, high-speed 1Gbps fibre internet, printing and scanning, bike storage, a shower, ergonomic chairs and solid wooden desks, and access to break-out spaces and a fully equipped kitchen throughout the day.

The location is hard to beat: Farringdon, Chancery Lane, and Holborn stations are all within a short walk, Leather Lane Market is a minute from the door for lunch, and the neighbourhood pubs, coffee shops, and restaurants give the area a social energy that makes it easy to stay past five.
