Urban Living Festival 2025 Highlights

UK: Around 300 professionals from across the living, hospitality and flex workspace sectors attended the 2025 Urban Living Festival in London this week. Day one event kicked off with ‘Unlock the Neighbourhood’ tours which took in the redevelopment of London’s Denmark Street in to a cutting-edge entertainment district which retains its Tin Pan Alley musical heritage. Attendees visited Chateau Denmark, a 44-room hotel set over 15 townhouses, and Outernet, one of the UK’s best-attended visitor attractions, before touring flex workspace provider x+why’s new Bedford Square property, topped off with drinks and pizza. Day two saw a full day’s content at Mary Ward House in Bloomsbury. A morning of plenary sessions was kicked off by ULN editor George Sell who set the scene backed by a slide bearing the slogan – ‘May you live in interesting times’. He spoke of the numerous challenges facing the real estate and hospitality sectors but urged the audience to stay positive, think differently and grasp the opportunities that come their way.
