HOW DID WE
GET HERE?

Put simply, we want to make central London workspace accessible for everyone and affordable options out there just don’t cut it.

Motivated by a desire to improve what affordable workspace meant, Sandbox began in 2019 when Founder Charlie Gallienne-Schmidt opened location no. 1 in the City, right underneath the Gherkin, in a building earmarked for redevelopment. In pursuit of making affordable workspace not feel cheap, Team Sandbox worked hard to deliver a product that everyone, including their members and guests, could feel proud of. The battle to lower prices yet increase the quality of our workspaces is an ongoing process that we continue to refine and one that we do not take lightly. We can confidently say that our locations offer the best value proposition in London, and our favourite question we receive when showcasing a space is, “What’s the catch?”

Today, our members range from individuals to teams of 100+ people. They all have access to a variety of playfully stylish, functional, but, most importantly, affordable workspaces in central London.

OUR VALUES

BE
AFFORDABLE

Be affordable but never cheap. At Sandbox, we believe in delivering exceptional value without sacrificing quality, ensuring that every aspect of our workspace, from design to amenities, is of the highest standard. Compromise is never an option.

MAKE AN
IMPACT

Build to exceed expectations and go above and beyond to help people. Our mission is not just about filling vacant spaces but also about community. By repurposing old, empty buildings, we create vibrant hubs that contribute to the socio-economic fabric of their communities.

THINK
SUSTAINABLY

We simply can’t afford to buy cheap things at Sandbox. The saying “Buy cheap, buy twice” holds true, especially in commercial settings where wasteful decisions are not an option for our affordable business. While this may come from a place of self-invested reasoning, it’s good for the planet too.

KEEP
IT LEAN

Work smarter, not harder. At Sandbox, efficiency is key to our affordability. We believe in streamlining processes and eliminating unnecessary complexities to maximise productivity and minimise cost.

CHAMPION
HAPPINESS

Growing our business has always been about having fun and enjoying the journey, and we want the same for our members. By bringing people together to collaborate, learn, and share meaningful experiences, we won’t stop pushing to make everyone at Sandbox feel like they’re part of something bigger.
