Club Zetter is a new club for collaborative working set to open February 2016 at the Zetter Hotel in Clerkenwell, London. The venture is a collaboration between the Zetter Hotel and workspace providers Central Working.

Club Zetter will be an entrepreneurs club to offer support and systems that entrepreneurs need when starting and developing a business. Club Zetter aims to provide an “inspiring environment” to “allow members to do business in absolute comfort”.

Whilst the space will be members-only during the day, it will open its doors to the general public each evening, when food and wine will be served.

The Zetter Hotel, located in Clerkenwell close to the Crossrail station at Farringdon and Old Street tube station, will be the second Central Working site in the Tech-City area of east London.

Founded in 2011, Central Working currently has a network of five clubs across London and Manchester, with sites in the City, Bloomsbury, Shoreditch, Whitechapel, plus Deansgate in Manchester.
