Landsec’s flexible office brand set for Liverpool Street launch
Landsec’s flexible office arm Myo will hope to open its doors to hundreds of workers in the City of London next year, with a new location to launch near Liverpool Street Station in the spring.
The landlord’s Dashwood House tower will be Myo’s second location after the brand launched with its 123 Victoria Street space in January 2019. The brand will occupy more than 35,000 sq ft over four floors of the building.
The brand provides office space for firms looking to house teams of up to 100 workers on one- to five-year leases. The Liverpool Street location will include meeting rooms, break-out spaces and event spaces.

The opening will mark a significant expansion of Landsec’s flexible office brand and signals another vote of confidence in the sector.
It comes after leading providers such as WeWork and Workspace were forced to offer customers huge discounts in the early stages of the Covid-19 outbreak.
However, industry heads believe that demand flexible offices will surge in the coming years, as the UK returns to work after the pandemic.
Oliver Knight, head of Myo, said: “The move towards flexible working practices has been progressing for a number of years, and now more than ever, businesses are re-evaluating the role of the workplace.
“Our spaces are designed to help our customers thrive through supporting collaboration, engagement and innovation.
“Our focus on enabling businesses to express their brand and culture, supported by best-in-class customer service and design-led spaces has been a differentiator at 123 Victoria Street and we are looking forward to bringing this choice to customers in the City.”
Frans Burrows of Bluebottle architects, which designed the space, said: “With the blurred boundaries of working from home or the office, today’s office needs to offer so much more.
“Rather than simply a place where we come to work, the office is a hub, a meeting place where we share ideas, spark creativity and select a place to sit dependent on the task undertaken.”
