Our natural habitat.

We believe in working flexibly – this includes flexibility in work location, working days (including weekends and bank holidays in operations) and working hours. This may be ad hoc or permanent flexibility.  Ask your recruiting manager or see our careers page for more information.

Not many Londoners live in the Square Mile, but for the duration of your stay, you can do just that. Mansion House station is minutes away and if you’re working in The City, the Bank of England and offices such as Deloitte and Accenture are on the doorstep.

You’ll also have a whole host of restaurants and bars to choose from, and across the river, the South Bank and Borough Market to explore too. The Shard is nearby for sky-high dining, as is the Barbican for a spot of culture at the weekend. 

About edyn.

Here at edyn, we believe travel should be a rich journey of discovery. Our brands – Cove, Locke and SACO – offer soulful hospitality firmly rooted in their local neighbourhoods. Together, we’re creating sanctuaries for free-thinking urbanites across Europe.

About Cove.

Unlike other hotels, we’re not into labels. We’re into living. Cove offers guests a space like no other – carefully designed, uncluttered apartments that allow each person to make the most of every moment, and every mode. These day’s it’s not about clocking in then logging off, presenting then partying, or even weekdays and weekends. It’s about undivided, seamless living. Flowing from one mode to the next without interrupting. Working comfortably. Living efficiently. Blurring borders and being together, but with enough space for our guests. Work/life balance has changed, and we’re here for the future.
