In this episode of Love Local, Jen speaks with Leanne, founder of Good Life Hub, a co-working, meeting and event space in Hampstead Norreys.
Leanne shares how her idea for the hub grew out of her own experience as a solo worker, frustrated by the lack of inspiring, local spaces to connect with others. She talks about the two-year search for a venue, how she worked with the building’s owners to shape the design from the ground up, and why opening in 2021 felt like perfect timing as people re-emerged from COVID lockdowns in need of community.
The conversation explores the intentional design behind the hub, from light-filled rooms to wellbeing-focused events, and why creating a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere is key to productivity and connection. Leanne reflects on the challenges of competition and the importance of trusting your own vision, explains why every business should review their branding regularly, and offers practical advice on NDAs, protecting your ideas, and finding the right support networks.
If you have ever wondered what it takes to build a co-working space from scratch, or you’re a small business owner looking for inspiration and community, this episode is full of insights about bravery, creativity and the power of collaboration.
