The company, which was founded in 2009 by Tom Ball before opening its first location in London, announced its final day in Basingstoke on August 31.

In an email sent to customers, Mr Ball said: “We are sad to say that it is DeskLodge’s last day at Belvedere House in Basingstoke today.”

He added: “We are grateful for all the fun and laughter we had in creating a workspace that we were extremely proud of along the way, and for the amazing team and members we met who passed through our doors.”

The company offered inspiring co-working office space with themed areas including a beach and New York themed meeting rooms.
