About this space
Eagle House is a distinctive Art Deco building on City Road, opposite Moorfields Eye Hospital, at the northern edge of the Old Street tech and creative corridor. Originally a 1920s dance hall, the historic facade was restored in 2015 as part of a 27-storey tower, and The Brew occupies the former dance-hall section, keeping the high ceilings and period character. A mural telling the building's history is a centrepiece, and a recent refresh has brought the space up to a strong standard.
The ground-floor coworking and flexible-office provision suits a range of working styles, with hot desks, dedicated desks, flexi and part-time offices, and private offices, many with their own built-in meeting rooms. Offices are fully fitted with desks, chairs and standing-desk options, and coworkers get lockers and generous circulation space. The Matcha Mochi cafe at the entrance doubles as an informal extension of the lobby, and a manned reception runs from 8:30am to 5:30pm.
Community is the heart of Eagle House. Quarterly socials, lunch-and-learns, bike-repair sessions and breathing workshops sit alongside free fruit, Thursday snacks and Friday drinks from 4:30, and members describe a genuine one-big-family feel. Two shared meeting rooms, a boardroom for 15 and a room for six, are free to use and bookable through reception, with a games room of darts and a punch bag, a kitchen breakout with a TV, and phone pods for private calls.
The building is well set up for cyclists, with two ground-floor showers, lockers and storage for up to 30 bikes across Eagle House and an overflow site. A communal kitchen, filtered water stations and business support cover the day-to-day, and members can work around the clock with fob and video entry outside staffed hours. Old Street station is five minutes on foot, Angel is a comfortable walk, and a bus stop sits directly outside on City Road.
Eagle House is home to a community of startups, small businesses and entrepreneurs, and it shows from the moment you walk in. The staff went out of their way to make me feel part of it straight away. The independent Matcha Mochi cafe at the entrance sets a welcoming tone, and the bright, refreshed interiors sit inside a 1920s Art Deco former dance hall with the original high ceilings intact. Quarterly socials, Friday beers and a real one-big-family feel.
