The podcast episodes that we normally record are focused on historically important properties in London that have had their lives extended by repurposing them as modern offices – this, in our opinion, makes them some of the best office spaces in London.
London has, of course, experienced many epidemics over its history as well as other natural disasters but none quite the same as the global Covid-19 pandemic.
The pandemic had and is continuing to have devastating, effects for the world’s population for which we have great sympathy.
One of the effects of the pandemic was the way that it affected the modern business world and the use of office space.
In post-industrial London, a great number of businesses are office-based. Of course, during the lockdowns, offices were closed off to businesses for safety reasons.
However, with the use of high-speed domestic broadband, cloud-based technologies and personal computers, smartphones and tablets, many businesses could continue to run with normally office-based staff, working from home remotely.
The option to utilise remote homeworking staff has been available to businesses for many decades, however, many never fully adopted it as standard working practice.
As lockdowns lift, many businesses are now looking at how they will use physical office space in the future.
We wished to record this slightly different episode to talk about the modern concept of hybrid working at, what we think, is a pivotal and historically important time, relating to how businesses will use offices, and specifically to us, the historically important offices, in the future.
