Company Overview

At Fora, we\’re fuelled by a desire to enhance the way people work. We\’re here for the progressives, the forward thinkers, the status quo-challengers, the creators and the innovators. With signature hospitality, a likeminded community of members and a re‑energising wellness experience, Fora takes the grind out of daily work‑life, so members can focus on what\’s important – working productively, healthily and happily.

Our journey began over 20 years ago, when we opened our first location on London\’s City Road. Since then, our collection has grown to over 60 distinctive workspaces across London, the UK and Germany, totalling 3.2 million sq ft of real estate. Over the last two decades we\’ve welcomed nearly 30,000 members and boast market‑leading retention rates.

As a trusted workspace provider for teams of all sizes – from established brands to new ventures – our uniquely designed, flexible office spaces come with a range of exceptional on‑site amenities and a dedicated Member Experience team to take care of all the day‑to‑day details. Ocado, The British Fashion Council, and Pangaia are just some of the businesses that call a Fora workspace home.
