The Ministry, Borough | Workspace & Members' Club | South London: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Great space with friendly people.
Fantastic experience: I moved my team from the corporate world to the Ministry. As you can imagine, this is a huge culture shift but what I noticed was a great uplift in attitude from the team. The Ministry truly offers a great atmosphere and a welcoming nature from all and thinking about small details to benefit human welfare. The outdoor space plays bird music to create a tranquil and natural environment, something small but it showcases their efforts in creating a great space. I was worried the gym would be constantly full, however you can always use equipment and is rarely "busy" but host a great enthusiastic workout environment. Insta photo worthy! We have a secluded office space with a great internet connection and no issues at all while hosting numerous teams meetings presenting our software. When we have big client meetings, inform the hosts as they prepare the rooms, coffees etc for a high class concierge service which has been greatly received. Ross has been great help with setting up the office space and catering to our needs upon first interactions and facilitating our upgrade in office size. We need to expand again and will 100% stay with the Ministry., Chris and Isabella have been so welcoming inducting us to the building and keeping us involved with daily/ weekly events. There's so much on offer at the Ministry and I highly recommend this space.
Negative experience: If you actually need to work & have client calls this is not the place for you. Only two phone booths, terrible internet, weird smell in the basement & not even a basic coffee machine. Seen several other reviews complain about this so it’s just management being cheap. My colleague said the paid coffee was bad so hope they don’t respond saying they serve good coffee for paying customers. I actually left early because I couldn’t find a professional, quiet place to do a call (as usual, men in particular feel entitled to have loud calls in open spaces meant for open collaboration, and staff do nothing about it). Internet disconnected completely for minutes at a time so I finally gave up and left and worked from home. Will not be recommending our company joins this space.
Hi there A, First and foremost, I’d like to take a moment to say thank you for the feedback that you’ve provided, and also to apologise for falling well below the standards that we aim to achieve on behalf of our members and guests. We would love the opportunity to rectify this by discussing your feedback on a quick call and inviting you back into The Ministry for another visit. I can assure you that your experience will be vastly different, and we can hopefully set things right. You can contact me directly at [email protected]. Best, Niall Baker General Manager
Fantastic experience: The most inviting place to work, eat, chat and create. Everything has been thought of and it always feels like a special and secret place to be, away from busy London. Delicious cocktails too!
Fantastic experience: My favourite member's club in London these days. The place looks amazing, isn't packed with coked-up bankers or 'media' wannabes, the long bar serves proper cocktails and nobody has an attitude, all staff are extremely friendly and welcoming. Such a change from the other clubs Naturally, with its club heritage, DJ selection (every evening) and sound system is the best amongst all members clubs, too. Go!
Fantastic experience: Stunning space, beautiful, funky, and so flexible too. Lots of facilities under one roof. Amazing for hosting events in. Great events team too!
Fantastic experience: Nice working space
Fantastic experience: The Ministry has the best event space in south east london for a whole mix of our Knightox events with a gorgeous heated terrace and fireplace too. We've worked with them over the past year on Davidoff Cigars & Whiskey events, Workshops, Mixers and more. The team have been very accommodating and supportive - Thank you!
Fantastic experience: A solid 10 out of 10 workplace :-)
Fantastic experience: Love this venue- a great space and highly trusted for seamless hosting.
Fantastic experience: We’ve held a series of shows at The Ministry and always have a stellar time! The team are fantastic to work with and the space offers an elevated experience. We always look forward to our events at The Ministry - cannot recommend them enough!
Fantastic experience: We've had the pleasure of hosting multiple events at the Ministry, including our drawing workshop, candle holder making workshop and blindfolded movement workshop. The experience has been nothing short of exceptional. The support from the Ministry has been amazing—they have been incredibly helpful and accommodating throughout our planning and execution phases. Their spaces are fabulous, offering a perfect blend of functionality and aesthetic appeal that enhances the overall experience for participants. All of our workshops were a great success, thanks in large part to the fantastic environment and support provided by the Ministry. Very gratful to collaborate with them!
Fantastic experience: Excellent work place — the staff is incredibly kind and accommodating, members get access to an awesome network, and there’s plenty of events to participate in.
Fantastic experience: Such a great place to work and be. The service is second to none and they always manage to have something interesting going on. Also no need to join a gym as the studio and gym are all you really need.
Fantastic experience: We have been a Ministry for nearly 18months in one of their private offices - can't recommend this place highly enough! Super friendly staff, a sensational bar and an awesome gym are brilliant perks of the workplace!
Fantastic experience: Wish we'd become a member years ago!! Lovely space to work with great spaces, terrace, amazing deli and the BEST staff x
Fantastic experience: Excellent co-working space, great facilities, proactive and friendly staff. Very accommodating and a great place to host an event to boot!
Fantastic experience: Just the happiest and best place to work. The team’s attention to detail is immaculate and Isabella is the best community manager you could ask for. Events are great; couldn’t recommend the place more highly.
Fantastic experience: Izzy has phenomenal hospitality. Always checking to see if we’re okay in the office and bringing great energy. The Ministry is honestly a great place to get things done, the vibes are incomparable to other co-working spaces (trust me I’ve seen the lot). Highly recommend, worth every penny!
Fantastic experience: Came for drinks - really lovely venue. Great service, cool bar with nice outside terrace. Also it smells amazing!
Fantastic experience: We got married at The Ministry earlier this month and I couldn’t praise Diana, Antonio and the team anymore if I tried. Diana and I hit it off from the first time we met, my first viewing of the venue (for a corporate event) was excellent which started the conversation around weddings. Once we had set a date we were put in the very capable hands of Antonio who was my soundboard, advisor, guide, mentor and anything in between throughout the entire planning process. Antonio was always on hand for any queries or wild ideas I had. Fast to respond and thorough in all of his communications. Planning the day was an absolute dream, and the execution on the day couldn’t have been better. The attention to detail was second to none. The wedding day was pure perfection. My husband and I could relax entirely and enjoy the fruits of the previous months hard work. We have also held corporate networking events in The White Space at Ministry which also ran like clockwork. The team here are true experts in their field and I would recommend them a hundred times over Thank you team Ministry for memories that will last a lifetime
Fantastic experience: We had a wonderful experience working with The Ministry for our civil partnership. The team were impeccably professional, well-organised and communicative at all times - they were lovely to work with, and the process was always very smooth and collaborative. The venue itself is beautiful and very flexible, the food and drink were really high-quality, and everyone we met, whether Antonio the Event Manager, Thanos the Bar Manager, or any of their staff, operated at a really high level, while always being friendly and approachable. They gave us lots of time and attention, and went above and beyond to make sure we and our guests had the experience we wanted. We couldn't recommend working with Ministry highly enough - we had a wonderful party with them, and a great time organising it.
Fantastic experience: Clean spaces and friendly staff. Attention to detail is appreciated, with a great gym / yoga room / light and airy meeting rooms.
Fantastic experience: Only seen the place in the evening, but the bar is excellent - the 90s remix cocktail menu is a must try, all of them!
Negative experience: Nice enough place but the bar staff are rude and unhelpful
Dear Sophie, I have been looking into our booking system and I cannot see you as a visitor or guest at the workspace or events. I would love to know more about your visit, as this feels extremely unlike the team we have here. Please could you email me directly and I'd love to hear more about your experience? It would be much appreciated. Best, Niall - General Manager [email protected]
Fantastic experience: The space is amazing. In particular, the box downstairs and Wellness Warrior immersive yoga which I attended on Saturday. Phenomenal! It was another level! Never experienced yoga like it. The sound, the lighting, the instructor, the vibe, the energy, the entire experience was …. No words. Can’t wait to return. Highly recommend!!
Fantastic experience: The Ministry checks all the boxes: nice space, strong wifi, fun events, good food/coffee, and a terrific staff. From the front desk folks, to the baristas, to the community managers, everyone was genuinely friendly and went out of their way to get to know you. One person in particular stands out: Ross Carter. He is outgoing, personable, and immediately makes you feel part of the community. Not only did my colleague and I enjoy our time working at the Ministry more because he was there, we now count him as a friend. I hope the Ministry reads this and gives him a big raise. He deserves it.
Fantastic experience: A good meeting venue south of the river.
Fantastic experience: Had a lovely lunch there. A lovely relaxing place to work in comfy chairs.
Fantastic experience: Love this co-working space! Amazing food and working vibes with great events in the evening. Would highly recommend it.
Fantastic experience: The coolest work space in London. Stunning amenities, gorgeous homemade and locally sourced cafe, the best events ever and, most importantly, a brilliant team. Izzy showed my team around recently and they will not stop raving about the space and about how welcoming and accommodating she was. Can't recommend checking out The Ministry if you're looking for space to base yourself, meet great people or grow your business. Without a shadow of a doubt, you'll have a fun time and impress everyone you invite to meet you there, too.
Fantastic experience: Great
Positive experience: Great place for the close events as well, nice bar
Fantastic experience: Gorgeous space and bar! A must to visit, lovely for events
Fantastic experience: Cool place to host a Sofar Sounds gig. The bar was reasonably priced for central London and a premium venue (£12 for a single mixer and a pint). The trendy, rustic, coppery workspace with modern AV equipment, smouldering mood lighting, and a well stocked bar made for an atmospheric and fun Friday night venue.
Negative experience: I was going to book in for some client meeting at this venue, unfortunately they have just opened a horrible disruptive car was next door. I will not be bringing my prospective clients here, its like the wild west with soap suds.
Fantastic experience: This place is awesome!! Visited yesterday and cannot wait to go back. It's not just your average co-working space. The staff are super friendly, 5* food and there is an energy and buzz around the venue that feeds innovation - every co-working space has the usual meeting rooms, hot desks and booths, but the relaxed and friendly vibe at Ministry is priceless.
Fantastic experience: I really like to relax here))
Positive experience: Great event space. Went down to Ministy Founders event mid week. Cultured sophisticated vibe friendly staff and many other area like gym that I didn't get to take photos of.
Fantastic experience: Great experience! From the check-in who welcomed with great smile and warm welcoming to the bar who always asked if they can help. Clean, tide, great room experience in entire venue. The gym is "wow", great experience at visiting. The Co-working space is great, low music and ambient is focused, geeat job! Many thanks to Christian who did the tour, great experience, and amazing staff! I would give 10* from 10*
Fantastic experience: The most perfect office space!
Positive experience: Very small gym. Quality weight machines. Price for joining not advertised. Decent changing rooms. A wee bit far from where I work.

Positive experience: I was looking for the ministry company that is of the ministry of defence but was called ministry.
Fantastic experience: Nothing comes close to working from The Ministry. There aren’t enough words to describe it, just trust me and see for yourself. Highly recommend every aspect of this workspace/members club.
Fantastic experience: I've been working at the Ministry Co-working space since January 2022 and it is easily the best office I have ever worked in. The space is amazing (special shout out to the gym and bar), the events keep me coming back to the office and the staff are 10/10. I would highly recommend The Ministry to anyone/any company.

Fantastic experience: Excellent work space, great bar and helpful staff
Negative experience: Nice place, but would avoid at all costs if you cycle. Despite a 3000 sq foot space would not let you bring your bike in side and as relsut it was stolen from outside which they said was a regular thing.
Dear Harry We’re very sorry that you fell victim to bike theft, we totally understand your frustration and had hoped that the conversation and assistance with CCTV on the day from our management team helped. Please let us know if we can help you any further. The Ministry

Positive experience: We want to make your working life easier. So, we've given you a beautiful space to work and play from all under one roof. Work from the bar, go to the gym, have your coffee made up by one of our baristas, have meetings on the terrace, eat homemade, healthy food from our café, or attend an event with your newly found workmate. You name it, we've thought of it.
Fantastic experience: We've been based at The Ministry for the last couple of years and it's a great space with wonderful staff. Would recommend for anyone, especially those working in the creative industries
