“Being part of the The Melting Pot network is invaluable. I've never before been in a space where I've met so many people with similar values working across such a range of interesting areas.”

“The staff are very friendly, helpful and efficient, and there is a general atmosphere of productivity throughout the building without it ever feeling remotely corporate or clinical.”

“I’ve been coming to The Melting Pot for a few years now… It’s a great community here: lots of very interesting people doing very worthwhile things. But, also, plenty of space to get your head down when you want to.”

“The Melting Pot is ideal for us. Its central location is great for receiving visitors; the desk spaces are well thought-out, clean and easy to access; there is a great choice of meeting room spaces - and the app is so easy to use, booking in visitors or rooms is a breeze.”

“The Melting Pot has enabled me to work remotely without feeling isolated. It has also given me confidence and connections to take up some freelance work as the next step in my career.”

“I come into The Melting Pot 2 to 3 days a week. I really like coming in because it means I don’t have to work by myself in my flat, the space is really sociable and everyone’s really lovely. It’s a great opportunity to share ideas as well.”

“I have a team of about 4 or 5 that come in on a daily basis. And I must admit, it’s really been a godsend. There’s plenty of space to break out in… and the staff here have really helped us be quite flexible with people coming in, coming out.”

“Being at The Melting Pot has been transformative for my mental health. As someone who lives by themselves, it’s made a massive difference being able to chat to people.”
