The COVID-19 pandemic has forced the most extensive work from home experiment on us ever. As employees in various industries have become used to working from home, many have questioned the role and purpose of office space, especially having an office in London, and other cities and metropolitan centres.
As lockdown measures are set to ease across the UK soon, we can be hopeful of returning to some form of normality as the COVID-19 virus is wrestled under control thanks to the success of the country’s vaccination programme. At DeVono, we recognise that home working has its benefits. However, we believe that working in a physical office space can foster company culture, spark innovation, and encourage employee collaboration.

London is a UK and global centre of commercial activity, with thousands of UK and international companies headquartered in the British capital. Since our founding in 2003, DeVono has helped many businesses find suitable offices in London.
