GCUC UK London 2026 Edition

We’re back in the capital.

GCUC UK London 2026. Thursday 8 October at TOGETHER, 88 Wood Street. Friday 9 October across the city’s spaces. Two days of conference and tours for UK operators, landlords, investors and the people building the products around them.

Thursday 8 October | TOGETHER, 88 Wood Street Main conference. Drinks reception.

A full day programmed around what UK operators, landlords and investors are actually working through right now, and this year’s line-up backs that up.

Jigar Shah, WeWork’s CIO, sits down with Yardi to talk through consolidating a multitude of legacy systems across 28 countries into one modern platform. Five leaders, from x+why, Argyll, Second Home, WeWork and Uncommon, take the stage with no moderator, no slides and no pre-agreed questions. WIN brings the state of flex, a year on, with leaders from Techspace, Spacemade and Fora. And Pip Jamieson, founder of The Dots, makes the commercial, data-led case for community as your strongest competitive advantage.

Around the headliners: The Beautiful Truth opens the day with frameworks for a narrative the whole sector can tell with conviction, GCUC founder Liz Elam speaks on mental health in our community, and a Lightning Round keeps the pace up late in the day.

And it’s not sit-and-listen. Join the Think Tank, where the room works one subject together and everything said is captured and sent back to you afterwards. Or pick a workshop or roundtable, covering brain-first spaces, designing pathways to belonging, and the virtual office opportunity. Bring a real problem. Get real input.

Then the evening winds down with a drinks reception at TOGETHER from 5:30, with an open floor to carry on the conversations.

Friday 9 October | Coworking tours across London Three curated routes through the city.

Most of the operators running London’s coworking sector will be in the building on Thursday. Friday is when you go and see the spaces themselves. Three routes, on foot, hosted by the people who run the buildings:

Victoria: x+why at Fivefields, Argyll at Nova North with its views over Green Park and Buckingham Palace, and Fora’s converted 19th-century warehouse on Greencoat Place.

The City to Whitechapel: Huckletree at 40 Leadenhall, named Best Commercial Workplace in London, The Work Project’s London debut at One Leadenhall, and Koba at The Rowe, with its Yinka Ilori reception and panoramic rooftop.

Shoreditch: an exclusive first look at Qube, a 33,000 sq ft creator hub with recording, podcast and DJ studios, plus Work.Life at Rivington House.

Less about admiring the design, more about seeing how someone else solved the problems you’re solving too. Fit-out budgets. Member churn. Hybrid programming. Mixed-use lease structures. The questions that don’t fit neatly into a panel.

Practical, not promotional.

Operators, landlords, investors, vendors, brokers. If you work in UK flex, you gotta be in the room.
