Where we work

The London nest (or “office,” if you must) is the home of Hootsuite UK. Although our nest is expanding, we’ve remained a close group.

Owls from around the world flock to London and we welcome them into an office that inspires us. Our nest is at WeWork Tower Bridge right in St. Katharine Docks. For those that commute, we are a short walk from Tower Hill and Tower Gateway stations. It’s the perfect space for our employees to do their best work.

And we certainly enjoy the views!

“On one side is bustling Canary Wharf and the other you see the city’s evolution over time through the landmarks that occupy the River Thames. The office is every expat’s dream come true for working in one of the greatest cities in the world.”
