I would be hard pressed to recommend this WeWork to anybody looking for a place to setup their business.

The elevators have been in repair and maintenance mode for 13 months now (ever since the building first opened) and we're now down to only 1 working for a building with 8 floors. The feedback is the same every few weeks "We thank you for your patience. We are working with our contractors and will update you with a timeline" but updates on timelines are never concrete and never beyond the empty promises.

There's a tendency to try to cram too many people onto every floor so expect lunch times to be heaving and often not enough places to sit. So you'd better enjoy eating lunch at your desk every few days as you stare at the Slack and email notifications increment with every bite of your overpriced Holborn lunch. Even outside of the busy lunch hour it's hard to find a quiet moment away from the office as too many people are "hustling", huddled over a laptop blasting their unimportant conference call out for everybody to hear - noise cancelling headphones are a MUST.

And you had best really, really, really enjoy Pop Music since that is pretty much the only genre they pipe into the communal areas. Every now and then they tease me and some Red Hot Chili Peppers plays but that short respite is immediately followed by Kelly Clarkson (yup, it's not just modern pop music, it's all of the pop music). A bit of variety would go a long way if they could include some alternative, punk, rock, 80s metal, or synthwave. I imagine fans of genres I don't listen to like jazz, rap, classical, etc would welcome the variety too. Once more, noise cancelling headphones are required.

It's also a bit of a roulette spin on the level of help you will get when raising issues - it swings wildly between extremely helpful and at times condescending.

Don't let free (terrible) bean-to-cup coffee, over-hyped Monday breakfasts, all the cucumber water you can stomach and other gimmicks lure you into Aviation House - it's all a trap and you deserve better.
