Zopa HQ

You can find us down by the river at our London Bridge HQ. Our open-plan office is full of breakout areas for creative collaboration and deep thinking.

But it’s not all brainstorms and problem solving – the ping pong and fooseball tables in the games room see a lot of action.

Our kitchen is the true hub of the office, though. It’s home to weekly company meetings, socials, Zopa-hosted events and, naturally, enough free snacks and coffee to keep you fuelled throughout the day.
