Hammersmith and Fulham, Kensington and Chelsea, and Westminster City Council have jointly deployed Nextcloud Hub 7 as part of a shared digital workspace initiative aimed at reducing dependence on Microsoft 365.

The councils cited data sovereignty concerns and escalating Microsoft licensing costs as primary drivers for the switch.
