Protein Studios — Shoreditch’s Creative Coworking & Culture Hub

In this episode of Around the World in 250 Coworking Spaces, Pauline visits Protein Studios, a coworking space and events venue located in the heart of Shoreditch, London’s design triangle.

Key highlights

  • Part of a bigger story — Protein Studios is one arm of the Protein brand, alongside a global consultancy and an online community hosted on Discord.
  • Who works here — Predominantly creative professionals: graphic designers, culture agencies, social media specialists, and more.
  • Space design — Created by London-based design studio Hatch, the space is modular and adaptable, with open-plan desks, event spaces, and a café.
  • Event culture — Hosts brand activations, exhibitions, and creative showcases, alongside informal community meetups like the monthly Protein House Party.
  • Flexible approach — Post-COVID, memberships are deposit-free with no long tie-ins, encouraging returning and new members alike.
  • Community first — Events and the open-plan layout are designed to foster organic connections rather than forced networking.

Protein Studios shows how coworking can thrive when work, culture, and community intersect — making it a go-to spot for creatives in London.
