Ping pong in 10 of the coolest offices in the UK


AStar Wars-themed theater, nail bar, and ping pong table are only some of the cool and quirky attributes located at the offices of several of Britain's most important companies.

Putting bog-standard workplace spaces to pity, Deliveroo, Superdrug and Chat Talk have put employee satisfaction front and center by making fun and productive work environments that provide staff a place to wind down after a hard day's work. Useful advises about choosing the best ping pong table can be found at: https://pingpongstart.com

Have a peek at our round-up of a few of the very fun workspaces in the nation. It will not get much cooler than the headquarters of comparison website Money.co. Uk, based in the market town of Cirencester, Gloucestershire, which is put in a 10,000 sq ft Victorian castle.

The workplace features a Star Wars-themed theatre and popcorn machine, a Rolling Stones-themed bathroom, and assembly rooms modeled on ice caves, ski lodges, and libraries. There is even a library with a secret door and an on-site gym for employees to use during their time.

Money(. Co.uk) creator Chris Morling, who allegedly spent [pounds sterling]3m about renovating the castle, said: "Looking after your staff is paramount. Your team is your engine so that it's really important I take care of them and give them the best of all.

"You spend your working life at the workplace and that I wished to make an inspirational, uplifting environment that gave them flexibility and encouraged collaboration."

Deliveroo

Food delivery service Deliveroo has its headquarters in London, in which all the 27 meeting rooms are named after meals, like the Taco area.



But it's the bigger meeting spaces which are the most impressive. One, known as the"center court", is used as a collaborative working area where any of those 600 Deliveroo workers in the building can sit and discuss jobs together -- although no sports are permitted on the court.

The building also boasts an onsite fitness center, a shared rooftop overlooking the River Thames, a pool table plus swing-like chairs to create meetings a bit more lively.

PKF Cooper Parry

Accountancy may get an image of being dull however PKF Cooper Parry's workplace is anything but. This firm's colorful office boasts views, "Narnia closets", Segways, and a running track.

Nicknamed"Parrydise", the Solihull workspace, that required 10 weeks to renovate, even includes a sports pub to keep employees refreshed throughout the day.

Superdrug

Health and beauty series Superdrug moved its head office to Croydon before this year, and space was made to"boost productivity, promote cooperation, enhance engagement and encourage a healthy lifestyle".

The 55,000 sq ft building, with six floors, is home to more than 500 colleagues who can make the most of the onsite eyebrow and nail pub, ping-pong table and on-site wellness clinic.

Itison

Itison, a daily deals site, opened its head office in Merchant City, Glasgow, in February, following a [pounds sterling]1.5m renovation of the grade-A recorded Cochrane House.

In the hotel-style reception area to the fully stocked bar and yoga studio, Itison's office takes inspiration from the companies it works with. The space also offers a fireman's pole, hot air balloons, a pink phonebox for private calls and a giant tree that lights up each time a new member joins the group. If you are looking for the way to choose best ping pong paddle, check this article.

Moneypenny

Telephone facility Moneypenny spent [pounds sterling]15m on revamping its 91,000 sq ft headquarters in Wrexham, Wales, after getting some funding from the Welsh government.
The quirky office area, that opened in 2016, features a treehouse meeting room over its own village pub, plus a sun patio. Outside there are just seven acres of landscaped grounds with nature paths, a duck pond, and orchards with sweeping views of the surrounding countryside.

TalkTalk

Housed in the iconic Soapworks factory in Salford Quays, TalkTalk's office boasts one of the trendiest exteriors of all of the buildings on the list. Inside, there is a soap-bar fireplace setup that nods to the site's former use as a soap factory, and assorted art depicting famous Manchester landmarks.

There's also a rooftop garden with pizza pub, deli and coffee station, and a herb garden that develops products used from the onsite restaurant. Mark Dickinson of TalkTalk said of the construction: "Soapworks is over a building. It marks a new chapter in TalkTalk -- a modern, collaborative,'next-gen' TalkTalk."



Microgaming

Among the largest suppliers of internet gaming software, Microgaming's head office in the Isle of Man is full of spaces where employees can play with. The five-story office houses over 100 staff members, and features a canteen and coffee shop (with a distinctive saltwater coffee mix ), a dartboard, pool tables, a poker table, table tennis table, and a library for staff to take breaks from their own desks.

There's also an in-house fitness center, a treatment room and a studio that hosts weekly fitness classes, along with a rooftop garden offering panoramic views of the island.

Adobe

Computer software giant Adobe opened its London office in the White Collar Factory in Shoreditch past summer as a London hub for the 600 British employees.
The office features a roof terrace with a 150m working monitor, a library, games area for staff who wish to play video games or dining beside table tennis table, and looking for more reviews about this sport.

Transferwise

TransferWise, the cash transfer platform, has its HQ in the Tea Building in London's Shoreditch, with a roof patio, sleep pod, beer taps, and just a sauna, and this is a nod to the company's Estonian roots. The 18,000 sq ft distance, which was completed in 2016, also offers the obligatory ping pong table, a library, and Cacoon hanging seats.
