Hot desk questions
Do I need a membership for a hot desk?
No. Buy a single day pass or hour block online and pay at checkout — there is no membership to join before your first visit.
Do I get the same desk every time?
Any open desk in the suite. Desks are interchangeable and none is assigned to anyone, so every booking always has a seat. Nine of the twelve desks have a monitor; the three by the entrance are laptop desks.
Is parking included?
