In Spitalfields. The noise is unbearable. We moved out of an office and back to dedicated desks because it's actually much quieter in there than in the office spaces, where the walls let people who are on the phone think they can talk as loud as they like - despite the fact the walls offer no sound insulation. In the dedicated desks area people are usually much more courteous, leaving the room to take phone calls.
If WeWork wants to do one thing to improve their spaces, sound engineering is it. Figure out how to make the offices sound-proof, install sound absorbing soft furnishing or even carpet (currently everything is a hard surface, so sound absorption is basically zero).
