What to expect
You are likely to find a mix of laptop work, calls and informal catch-ups, with people moving between desks and meeting spaces through the day.

In the evening, the building feels more like a useful local hub than a passing stop.
Plan your visit
Bring everything you need for the day, including chargers and any notes for calls or meetings, so you can settle in quickly. If you are planning a few focused hours, it helps to arrive with a clear task list and use the surrounding Baltic Triangle streets for short breaks between sessions.
