Old Sessions House is a magnificent eighteenth-century former courthouse and one of Clerkenwell’s most remarkable landmarks.

The stone exterior is grand and the building retains a lot of its original structure, adding to its aesthetic raw character.

The Grade II listed Old Sessions House has multiple floors, grandiose mezzanine areas, a restored eighteenth-century glass atrium, as well as a resplendent dome roof and will now be a carefully curated workclub for London’s creatives, entrepreneurs and businesses.

On the cusp of Shoreditch and the City in Clerkenwell’s buzzing neighbourhood, it is well placed to be a home from home for flexible workers.

Launched by Knotel, a leader in flexible workspaces around the world, the shared workspace will bring together businesses, teams and innovators in an intentionally curated environment.

Mixing the amenities of a modern workplace with iconic spaces and cultural experiences, the workclub will support businesses to foster company culture, attract and retain talent, and host curated on-site events.

Once the largest courthouse in England, the majestic Grade II-listed Old Sessions House has been beautifully restored to grandeur offering an unparalleled destination to work, innovate, and connect, with Knotel occupying 22,000 square feet ofspace in the property.

Comfortable lounge spaces with leather seating, timeless soft furnishings and raw, distressed walls throughout, giving the impression of a beautiful English country estate house in the heart of London, will be the perfect place to meet for coffee or to have informal meetings.

Winding stone staircases take you between floors and the grand atrium entrance must surely be the most impressive “office lobby” in London.

Beautiful food and drink is available throughout the day and night and Old Sessions House’s bar will offer Londoners the ultimate selection of high quality drinks for after work socialising or events.

Knotel’s workclub model allows companies and individuals to select from flexible memberships that provide varying levels of access to desk space, meeting rooms, food and beverage amenities, and in-house events.

A Knotel Workclub mobile app will make bookings straightforward for members.

Old Sessions House is the first location in an ambitious global pipeline of workclubs embedded in distinctive landmarks.

“Flexible working is not only here to stay, it has become increasingly valued as businesses look to bring employees back to the office while reducing the overhead inherent with traditional long-term office spaces,” said Michael Gross, CEO of Knotel. “Companies are seeking out inspiring locations with amenitized flexibility in their workspace planning. That’s why we are backing bricks and mortar in London – especially when the bricks are as beautiful as those in the Old Sessions House.”

Gross added, “This is the first launch of a new concept for Knotel in which we will be bringing a remarkable selection of new workclubs to outstanding properties across London and other key European and North American cities.”
