Convene is the latest co-working startup to plant flag in London

An under-construction skyscraper in London was the battleground for a trio of well-capitalized flexible office space firms in growth-mode.

New York-based Convene, a startup that partners with commercial landlords to offer meeting spaces and amenities in office buildings, ultimately won out. The firm signed a 100,000-square-foot lease at 22 Bishopsgate in central London, the firm’s chief executive Ryan Simonetti told The Real Deal. It will be the firm’s first international location.
