Not really. That was my experience at a WeWork space in London. It was not quiet (glass walls), it was hard to focus, social events starting at 4pm (who finishes work at that time?), and if you end up being close to the common spaces, near the kitchen… well, I suggest you get a good pair of sound cancelling headphones.

- dorian-graph 9y agoFrom my experience, finishing at 4pm in London is not common.

- gnclmorais 9y agoI wish it were like that on WeWork offices…
- zackkitzmiller 9y agoI'd say headphones are a must in any office.
- chrisper 9y agoI finish at 4 as well, but I get to office at 6:45 :)
