Office Space in Town (OSiT), London’s leading flexible office space provider, has today reported a surge in demand for its suite of luxury in-office bedrooms, as workers take advantage of their in-office amenities to enhance their work–life balance during the summer months.
The Cabins – a suite of luxury, hotel-style bedrooms integrated at OSiT Monument – are fully booked between the 11th to the 19th June. This period coincides with both another of Tube walkout and the first week of the FIFA World Cup, and with some England and Scotland matches kicking off between 10pm and 2am BST. With many workers who commute into London unable to watch and enjoy the games in the capital’s bars and pubs unless they have accommodation close to the office, this has led to a sharp increase in demand for The Cabins, as people take smart measures to balance their professional lives and supporting their team.
Since launch, the amenities have been used in a variety of ways, including by clients seeking a convenient overnight stay after evening engagements; by companies booking premium accommodation for international colleagues, and, increasingly in periods of Tube strikes, by commuters who are looking to avoid disruption and ensure their attendance at early morning meetings in the City.
The increased demand for The Cabins in response to upcoming World Cup and Tube strikes reflects a broader evolution in employee behaviour and workplace expectations as workers continue their return to the office. UK office attendance hit 44.2% in mid-February 2026, the highest weekly level recorded since before the pandemic1, signalling a sustained shift back towards in-person working patterns, at a time when more employees are prioritising flexibility, convenience, and integrated amenities as essential elements of their workplace experience.
Sarah Singlehurst, Co-Founder of OSiT, comments: “The Tube strikes and World Cup have reinforced how important flexibility and certainty have become for workers in London. We are seeing The Cabins used in a very practical way, helping people to remain in the City and maintain their working commitments despite disruption to transport, while also being able to enjoy the football kicking off late in the evening. This reflects a broader shift in how our businesses and employees think about their relationship with the workplace.”
The Cabins form part of OSiT’s ‘Omni-Office’ concept of fully integrated workplace models designed to support every aspect of tenants’ professional and personal lives. OSiT’s five Zone 1 London office locations – including the ‘Alice in Wonderland’ themed Waterloo and ‘Monopoly’ inspired Liverpool Street – each come equipped with a wide range of high-quality amenities including rooftop bars, gyms, hairdressing salons and speak easy social lounges.
OSiT has ambitions to acquire larger buildings across central London – ranging from 100,000 to 200,000 sq.ft – enabling the company to evolve its Omni-Office concept and scale its proven owner-operator model. Future sites are expected to go even further by expanding on high-demand offerings, such as The Cabins, with a vision to incorporate additional amenities, such as rooftop padel courts, day nurseries, and dental practices.
