enters of London, ask yourselves this: when was the last time your landlord organised a yoga session in your home? Or a cooking class? Or arranged room service? Or after-work drinks? Or inserted a swimming pool on top of your building? Or a library in your front room? Or even came round to clean your home and change your linen?
Enter the concept of co-living, and the pioneering company behind this leap forward for the capital’s renters: The Collective. Members at its two London locations – the 550-room The Collective Old Oak in west London, and the 705-room world’s largest co-living building in Canary Wharf – benefit from an entirely new approach to urban living.
