The 8 best women-only coworking spaces in London, 2026

Kate Fletcher ranks the best women-only and women-focused coworking spaces in London for 2026 — AllBright, the Wing's legacy, Blooms and the new wave.

Kate FletcherKate Fletcher·23 April 2026·4 min read·London

Right. Women-only coworking in London has been through three waves now — the early-2010s WeWork era (where everyone was open-plan), the 2017-2020 club-and-coworking peak (AllBright, the Wing's short London life, the boutique clubs), and the post-pandemic reset where the survivors are smaller, sharper, and properly community-focused.

The list below is the eight that actually run, take applications, and consistantly draw the right crowd in 2026. Some are strictly women-only; some are women-focused with mixed membership. Each is noted.

AllBright Mayfair

The flagship. Five floors on Maddox Street, restaurant on the ground, coworking and members' lounge in the middle, gym up top. Properly the gold standard for women-focused private members' clubs in London. The events programme (talks, panels, networking dinners) is the core value — the workspace is good, the community is the point.

Application-based, £130/month members start, full club is around £180/month, plus joining fee. Worth it if you're going to use it weekly.

AllBright Fitzrovia

The sister space, on Rathbone Street. Smaller, more workspace-focused than the Mayfair social-club setup. Same membership unlocks both. Properly the better option if your day-job is the priority and the social-club programme is the bonus rather than the reason.

Blooms London

The newer wave. Opened 2024 in Soho, women-and-non-binary coworking and members' club designed for the post-AllBright generation. Properly thoughtful design (proper privacy, beautiful library room, the cafe is excellant), strong programme.

Application-based. Smaller than AllBright by design — they cap membership numbers to keep it personal. The right option if AllBright feels too big or too established.

The Conduit

Properly mixed-membership rather than women-only, but I'm including it because the women-in-leadership programme there is the strongest in London. The Covent Garden building is beautiful (six floors, restaurant, library, events), the social-impact framing brings a different crowd from the standard private-members orbit.

Application-based, full membership around £250/month plus joining fee. Worth knowing about if you want a women-focused community within a broader space.

Mortimer House

The Fitzrovia hybrid. Mixed coworking with strong women-in-tech and women-in-business programmes — they run regular dinners, panels, and an active Women in Tech community board. Day passes available for non-members.

The right pick if you want flexibility and don't want to commit to a full women-only club membership.

Standard coworking with women-only floors

A few of the bigger London operators (Huckletree, Second Home, the Office Group) have introduced women-only quiet floors at certain locations. Day-pass friendly, properly the budget option for occasional use. The Huckletree White City women's floor and the Office Group's Holborn women-only zone are the better ones.

Cheaper than the dedicated members' clubs (£25-£35 day pass, £180-£250/month) and the women-only floors run alongside the regular open coworking — properly the entry-level option.

Mums in Tech London hubs

Smaller member-network spaces designed specifically for working mothers. Hubs in Hackney, Clapham, and Richmond. Coworking with childcare-friendly hours (some have on-site creche partnerships, others lean on after-school timing). Properly the right pick if school-run logistics are the priority.

The community is the actual point — the spaces are smaller and the connections happen because everyone's in the same logistical boat.

Female Founders Hub (pop-up coworking days)

Not a permanent space but a recurring event. Pop-up coworking days at hosting venues — Soho House Greek Street, Town Hall Hotel, the Mortimer House cafe. Curated days, properly the events-led option for women who don't want a full membership commitment.

£20-£40 a day, includes lunch, the value is the people in the room rather than the desk.

What's missing from this list

A few notable absences:

  • The Wing London closed end of 2020. The ghost of it is still in the conversation but it's not coming back.
  • Hera Hub London — never properly took off in the UK.
  • Smaller community-led spaces (Mother Cluster, etc.) — exist but the coverage is limited and often event-led rather than coworking.

What to actually pick

The honest decision tree:

  • Founder building a company, want to be in a room with other founders: AllBright Mayfair or Blooms.
  • Working at a company but want women-focused community in the day: Mortimer House or AllBright Fitzrovia.
  • Want occasional women-focused workspace, not a full membership: Standard operator women-only floors (Huckletree, Office Group) day passes.
  • Working mother with childcare/school-run logistics: Mums in Tech London hubs.
  • ESG / social-impact orientation: The Conduit.
  • Events-led, don't want a contract: Female Founders Hub pop-up days.

Tracking events

Half the value of these spaces is the events programme — talks, dinners, panels, networking. Rifio tracks them — the women-in-tech meetups in London page covers the open events that aren't members-only, and the search feature pulls the AllBright/Blooms public-facing programme.

Eight spaces. Pick by use-case rather than prestige. The London women-only coworking scene has matured properly since the AllBright-only era — there's now a real range, properly differentiated.

    allbright mayfair restaurant on the ground floor is genuinely the best lunch in mayfair, members or not its a real value

  • Priya R.·24 Apr 2026

    blooms in soho is the proper post-allbright option, smaller and more thoughtfully designed. the library room is a sanctuary

  • Sophie B.·24 Apr 2026

    mortimer house womens-in-tech dinners are genuinely substantive, the panels are usually senior and the food is good

  • Anna K.·24 Apr 2026

    mums in tech hackney hub is the only coworking in london that actually understands the school run reality, properly recommend

    the conduit is technically mixed but the womens leadership programme is the strongest in london, my pick for ESG-leaning founders

  • Leah O.·25 Apr 2026

    female founders hub pop-up at town hall hotel last month was excellant, lunch included and the room was full of seriously interesting women

  • Cassie M.·25 Apr 2026

    allbright fitzrovia is the better pick if you actually want to work, mayfair is too social-club for deep work days
