If you visit today, you’ll find a co-working space called “WeWork” is actually gone. The company downsized, packed up its kombucha kegs, and moved on. Now it’s mostly offices for financial firms and tech companies that didn’t go bankrupt.
But the address still carries a weird nostalgic weight. It’s like visiting the original location of a legendary dive bar that’s now a Starbucks. The magic is gone, but you can still feel the vibe if you squint hard enough.

Surprising Fact #2: The Postal Code is a Flex
EC2A 4NE might look like a random jumble of letters, but it’s actually a status symbol. In London, certain postcodes scream “I’m rich and I work in tech.” EC2A is one of them. It’s the zip code equivalent of driving a Tesla.
Fun fact: The “EC” stands for “Eastern Central.” So every time you write that address, you’re literally saying you’re in the center of the east side. It’s a tiny, bureaucratic brag.
