Originally a popular nightclub in London, England, Ministry of Sound has been a classic bar in the area for years -- the new location will be in close proximity but hold a completely different purpose. Similar to the nightclub, the new location will have a [strict door policy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-malin-1), open to industry professionals as a space to come together and collaborate. The space will feature a 70ft bar, a full table service restaurant, a 36-seat cinema, an immersive technology studio and multiple serviced meeting rooms. The Ministry by Ministry of Sound is set to open this summer, welcoming new and old members. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 22% | Activity: 21% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Shared Working Clubs:** Similar to Ministry of Sound's The Ministry, more private members-only clubs will pivot to offer shared working spaces as a secondary offering. - **Entertainment-based Working Spaces:** Other companies may consider merging technology and entertainment, like The Ministry's immersive technology studio, with a shared working space to create a unique and engaging work environment. - **Strict Door Policy Working Spaces:** More shared working spaces may adopt a strict door policy to create an air of exclusivity and attract industry professionals looking for a collaborative workspace. ### Where This Applies - **Hospitality:** Hospitality businesses may see an opportunity to offer shared working spaces as a secondary offering to create additional revenue streams and attract industry professionals to their properties. - **Entertainment:** Entertainment companies can offer a unique working space experience, such as a private members-only club, to diversify their business and appeal to industry professionals and creatives. - **Real Estate:** Real estate companies may consider partnering with shared working space companies to create unique, high-end workspaces with a strict door policy to attract industry professionals and creatives. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Exclusive Membership Club Openings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soho-house.md) - [Repurposed Museum Nightclub-In-Residence](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fabric-london.md) - [Voice-Activated Face Filters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/voiceactivated-face-filters.md) - [Shoreditch Members Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aethos.md) - [Moody-Themed Office Lounges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sella-concept-1.md) - [Subterranean Social Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/william-vale-hotel.md) - [Basement-Altered Workspaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/downstairs-at-dmfk.md) - [Mid-Century Office Space](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-mint-list.md) - [Wellness-Focused Lifestyle Hubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/health-club.md)
