ARC Club

What ARC Club does

ARC Club Ltd. is a London-based neighbourhood coworking operator incorporated in England and Wales in 2020. The company runs four physical workspace locations embedded in residential neighbourhoods - Earlsfield, Tottenham, Stratford, and Walthamstow - each occupying ground-floor space in residential or mixed-use developments through partnerships with property developers including Unite plc and Long Harbour. ARC's core proposition is 'work near home' workspace for residents of the surrounding area rather than commuter-focused coworking in commercial districts; 97% of members reportedly live within walking distance of their club and 70% are new to coworking.

The company monetizes through a tiered membership stack: Day Passes (£10-30/day), Neighbour membership at £125/month for 8 days of monthly access, Regular membership at £210/month for unlimited weekday hot-desking, Everyday personal-desk memberships from £250/month, and Private Offices from £1,065/month with 17 offices at Tottenham alone. All-in pricing includes meeting room credits, Network Passes for cross-location access, mail handling, and free refreshments from social-enterprise coffee partner NewGround. Distribution is hybrid: online self-serve booking via OfficeRnD for individual members, direct sales for private offices ([email protected]), and developer/landlord partnerships for new-site creation. Marketing relies on earned media (Financial Times, The Times, Dezeen), Instagram/Facebook/LinkedIn organic social, the ARC Mail newsletter, and community events.

ARC is founder-led by co-founders Josie Baum (Growth & Strategy) and Hannah Philp (Product & Impact), with Natasha Van Leempoel as COO. The company operates as a private, bootstrapped entity with no disclosed institutional funding. Its social mission is operationalized through the trademarked Open Doors Project, which provides free or discounted workspace to local charities, students, key workers, and community organisations. Strategic positioning targets hybrid workers, freelancers, and small teams in London residential corridors seeking a productive, community-anchored alternative to home working.
