The Office Group (TOG) provides over 50 workspaces in the UK and Germany, with the majority spread across London. TOG workspaces offer a mix of private offices that house from 1 person up to 2,000 with coworking memberships, relaxed lounge spaces, meeting rooms and event space hire. All TOG members have access to the entire network of buildings as part of their TOG membership.
Workspace locations
The Office Group currently has 51 buildings located in London, Bristol and Leeds, including iconic addresses at One Canada Square, The Shard and the Gridiron Building in Kings Cross, with several buildings in the development, including Chancery House [1] and five in Germany – TOG’s first expansion outside of the UK. Sustainable design is a core principle of TOG developments, with buildings integrating high level energy efficiency programmes, renewable energy, rainwater harvesting, and a focus on natural light and green spaces.
TOG workspaces and services
TOG offers a variety of workspaces: including private offices, closed door coworking areas, lounge space and meeting rooms.
Management and ownership
TOG was founded in 2004 by co-CEOs Olly Olsen and Charlie Green, launching with a building on City Road. In September 2010, when TOG had seven buildings in its portfolio, Travelex founder Lloyd Dorfman funded the management buyout of the previous private equity shareholders to become the majority shareholder and Chairman of TOG.[2] In June 2017, investment firm Blackstone acquired a majority stake in TOG.[3]
Network Rail
In 2014, Network Rail and TOG announced they would open three drop-in workspaces in London King’s Cross railway station, Liverpool Street station and Leeds railway station as part of a joint venture called The Station Office Network, an initiative to provide mobile offices in railway stations throughout the UK’s major cities.[4] TOG now has locations in six mainline railway stations; Marylebone, Paddington, Liverpool Street, Victoria, Waterloo and Leeds.
