About Canvas Offices

Canvas Offices creates flexible and sustainable workspaces tailored to its customers’ needs. Founded by two brothers in 2013, Canvas is a growing family creating the best workplace experience for growing businesses with 12 spaces across central London. Ron and Oren began their business career running their own music label from a coworking space. Seeing the lack of inspiring work environments, they saw an opportunity in the nascent flexible workspace market and started Canvas.

Canvas combines the advantages of private offices with the communal facilities and perks of the coworking world. Today, Canvas is home to more than 900 clients and our centres have maintained extremely high occupancy rates even during the Pandemic and lockdown. This is founded on our emphasis on fostering community and collaboration.

 

We think differently from most office suppliers. We build communities, care about our clients and are here to help them. We know what its like to run a business and want to give them the best possible experience. We transform forgotten buildings into inspirational spaces that feel like home. Can you help us in our journey?

• Togetherness: Offices have become so much more than just that building we go to to work, they can be spaces that span multiple locations, time zones and circumstances. The Canvas ecosystem is designed to both bring these together, and enhance the most vibrant and creative neighborhoods with resources that benefit everyone.
