Across the UK many businesses are beginning to prepare for returning to the office in the near future. With social distancing measures likely to remain in place for the foreseeable future, one of the biggest challenges, particularly in London, is getting people back into an office whilst reducing the need to travel into Central London on public transport where possible. One of the ways of doing this is renting office space in a more suburban area of London, where people living locally can access the space on foot, by walking or by car.
Flexible workspaces across the country have introduced a range of measures to ensure a safe environment from increased cleaning to additional bicycle and car parking.
