Last Saturday during an anti-gentrification protest on Brick Lane the Cereal Killer café was vandalised, becoming the focal point of protesters anger. At first the attacks looked misguided; an erroneous attack on small business when large corporations in Subway and Pret resided metres down the road. Although in no way agreeing with the actions of the protesters, the root of their anger must surely be looked at and not simply passed off as ‘mindless violence’. The growth of small business is something that should be encouraged and nurtured and so to see one so openly attacked under the banner of ‘gentrification’ is not only alarming but a sign of huge dissatisfaction amongst a portion of society.

East London is, and has always been, one of London’s poorest districts. The organisers at Class War complained they didn’t want luxury flats, pop up gin bars or brioche buns – they want realistically affordable housing for local people… a reasonable argument likely shared by others in poorer parts of London.  Nevertheless, this still doesn’t explain why the Cereal Killer Café came under such heavy fire Saturday night. What vilified the Keery brother’s establishment in the eyes of the protesters? Was it the Channel Four interview exposing their high prices? Or were they in the ‘wrong place at the wrong time’ so to say? The ‘gentrification’ of Shoreditch started way before the Keery brothers set up shop, but unfortunately that night they became a symbol protesters could project their injustice upon.

The truth of the matter is East London’s price tag is rising. Whether it is the cost of homes, commercial property, the price of a beer or even a local snack – and this price is rising without taking into account normal people still live and work in the area. The protesters ignored Subway and Pret as they are simply faceless organisations. The Cereal Killer Café was something protesters could assign a face to; a face they have come to associate with everything they see wrong in London.

And it’s not just housing costs that have sky rocketed in Shoreditch, the price of commercial property has doubled in the last two years, and although we don’t’ expect to see a revolution any time soon, it’s easy to see why many start-ups are looking outside of tech city.

The owners of the Cereal Killer café are not at fault; but nor are those angry enough to take to the streets against them. It is a complex issue engrained in the revival of poorer areas like Shoreditch. Progress in these areas often comes at the expense of those who live there, and unless there is a solution to appease a growing need for fairer prices, we may be seeing scenes like this for a while to come.

At Shoreditch Office Space we are always on the lookout for cool, newly refurbished buildings to talk about and we are never disappointed with the results. Last week we had a look at the great co-working spaces over at Workspace in Spitalfields and this week we are turning our gaze and looking a little south at Rotherwick House by St Katherine Docks.

St Katherine Docks is one of London’s best kept secrets. This beautiful secluded marina has steadily grown and now offers some great office space. Space at Rotherwick house is perfect for those looking for a cool Shoreditch style office, but without the price tag that comes with space in the tech city. With over 13,000 sq ft available to lease, Rotherwick House could be a great place for a company base, not far from Silicon Roundabout.

Existing Exterior

Rotherwick House has recently undergone a comprehensive refurbishment to provide 3 floors of grade A office space. The Grade II listed building is secluded and situated in its own private cobbled courtyard. This area provides the building with 12 car parking spaces for residents.

The main hall has been redesigned to offer spectacular double height offices with a skylight and mezzanine. The new design, advised by architects Carmody and Groarke, allows for excellent natural light through full height windows and includes modern features such as LG7 lighting with indirect LED up-lighting, VRF air conditioning and raised flooring. The site also has bicycle storage and new showers.

St Katherine Docks

St Katherine Docks has a list of fantastic Bars, Restaurants and shops such as The Ivory Vaults, Bravas Tapas and the Brasserie at the Tower Hotel. It is an area that has also had a focus on commerce and the wide range of options here reflect its history. Transport links via Tower Hill (Circle and District lines) provide quick access to Liverpool Street and across the city.

Recently we wrote about the benefits of co-working and its continued growth in London’s office market. Ever-popular with modern businesses, co-working solutions have sprung up all over London and are currently at the forefront of a workplace revolution. The flexibility they provide is a needed comfort to start-ups and freelancers, and with an increasing number of high tech co-working spots available, it’s no wonder so many people are moving to co-working offices.

No place has co-working been more present than in East London. Naturally, the businesses surrounding Silicon Roundabout lend themselves to the co-working attitude but in recent years other sectors have also begun to see the advantages of flexible space.
Wework has been a worldwide innovator of co-working solutions and has opened its doors in Spitalfields. It provides top quality co-working space, unique private offices and month by month membership to its various lounges and breakout areas.

Probably the only benefit of the rain that finished off our viewing tour of some crazy spaces yesterday afternoon was our ability to seek refuge in the new Coffee Shop run by the good folk at Albion. It’s been a while since we’ve been there, actually not since the previous guys decided to shut up shop (miss the beautiful dog).

After double checking it was in fact reopen, we piled in and was greeted by an extremely modest and comfortable looking lounge and decided we would get a coffee and relax until the rain passed.  Seduced by the countertop of fresh food, this coffee turned into a rather tasty snack and an extended stay, one which we would highly recommend.

We shared a raw vegetable salad (freshly made) and treated ourselves to a delicious Mocha to warm our stomachs. Pulling ourselves two quaint seats by the window, we admired the charm and tranquillity the café offered. After ordering an additional toastie, the rain had subsided and we made our way back to HQ. It’s lucky that on a rainy day Shoreditch always has an enchanting café like the Albion to shelter in, then again,an umbrella may be a cheaper option.

The welcoming reception at Coppergate House

If you are looking for a cost effective, easy in easy out office in East London, then Coppergate house could be the perfect starting point. With a selection of furnished and unfurnished office space now available, this flexible option could save you a lot of time and headache…and trust us, we know how tiresome finding suitable office solutions can be!

Recently renovated, Coppergate House is a converted Victorian grain mill and has offices ranging from 4 workstations up to 22. This location would be ideal for startups looking for a foothold on the exciting streets of East London, and would offer existing internet and telecoms infrastructure making setting up shop as trouble free as possible. Coppergate house’s flexible month by month contract terms are also beneficial for those not 100% certain on their companies path and growth. Being in a service office on a flexible contract ensures changes in your company will not be held back by long term commitments to landlords.  Having one monthly invoice covering the majority of all your costs is also very advantageous for new companies looking to keep an eye on their spending. However Coppergate House is more than just suitable for new companies. With large offices available this could be a great opportunity for an existing company to move to a more suitable area.

Deserve a break?

The building has a staffed reception and is open from 6.30am to 11:00pm daily. Coppergate house’s excellent staff are always on hand to assist with any issues, including IT support and a telecoms helpdesk. The reception team provide personalised
telephone answering, upholding your company’s professional image. The offices are supplied with high speed internet access and CAT 5 cabling DDI lines voicemail. The centre has refurbished toilet and shower facilities, meeting rooms for hire and even its very own gym. But when you’re not working hard (or working out) you can always take five in the buildings breakout area and get away from it all.

Coppergate House is perfectly situated near Liverpool Street and Aldgate train Stations. Both provide useful tube and national rail links across the city. Nearby Shoreditch and Brick Lane offer trendy retail outlets, food stools and hip bars, on top of housing some of the coolest names in the innovative tech industry.
