All 23 spaces · spaces without a public rate sort last

DeskLodge

day pass £30 + VAT · from £25 / mo
Temple / Redcliffe · coworking

Playful, well-run coworking five minutes from Temple Meads with the most flexible tier ladder in the city — from a £25-a-month toe in the water to unlimited weekdays, with bookable themed meeting rooms when a client's coming. You can drop in and hot-desk without reserving a seat.

Raw Space

from £18 / day · £68 / mo
Gloucester Road · coworking

Honest, tiered coworking on Gloucester Road — pay for the hours you'll actually use, from a £68 part-time tier up to a permanent desk of your own. Round-the-clock access for members, a roof garden, a free car park, and north of the centre where the coffee is cheaper.

Future Leap

from £3.50 / hr · £20 / day
Clifton · coworking

Bristol's sustainability-first hub, in a converted chapel just off Whiteladies Road — coworking attached to a genuine green-business network, an events programme and a low-carbon ethos that runs deeper than the paint. Three pounds fifty an hour is the gentlest way into a coworking space anywhere in the city.

Hamilton House

pay-as-you-go from £5 + VAT / hr
Stokes Croft · coworking

A Stokes Croft institution, now run by Forward Space, who took over the old Framework brand. Studios, shared studios, dedicated desks and coworking wrapped around a kitchen, lounge, gardens and event spaces — with deep roots in Bristol's creative scene and The Canteen on the ground floor.

Bristol Spaceworks

coworking from £100 + VAT / mo
Easton & St Pauls · offices

The east Bristol stalwart — a social enterprise running Easton Business Centre and Redbrick House, where the rents stay honest because the mission is local businesses, not landlord margins. Proper offices and workshops on flexible terms, five minutes from the M32, with notice you can actually serve.

Square Works

30 hrs from £108 + VAT / mo · day pass £30
Berkeley Square, Clifton · coworking

Three Georgian townhouses on Berkeley Square run as serviced offices and coworking, with The Square Club — its members' club, bar and restaurant — in the same building, plus a fitness suite and 24-hour access. The hours-based tiers are a quiet bargain for the address.

Origin Workspace

part-time from £115 / mo · day pass £35 + VAT
Berkeley Square, Clifton · coworking

Purpose-built workspace at the top of Park Street with a members' lounge, two roof terraces, an on-site gym and ten meeting rooms. The part-time tier is properly thought through — ten days a month for £115 suits the founder who's half at home, half in town.

CREATE Centre

desks £132 / mo all-in
Spike Island / Cumberland Basin · community hubs

The council-run sustainability centre in the great B Bond tobacco warehouse by the Cumberland Basin — affordable, all-inclusive desks surrounded by environmental charities, campaigners and green businesses, with an ecohome, a café and a ferry stop at the door. Unfashionably good value.

Clockwise, Generator Building

club lounge from £141 / mo
Finzels Reach · coworking

The old electricity generator building at Finzels Reach, a Grade II listed survivor turned into some of the smartest flexible workspace in the centre, with harbour views and a members-only café called Two Hands. Everything runs on rolling monthly licences with no upfront cost.

Gather Round

from £150 + VAT / mo
Brunswick Square, St Pauls · coworking

A Georgian townhouse on Brunswick Square with proper character — big sash windows, showers, bike storage and a strong creative programme, ten minutes' walk from Temple Meads. The 30-day contracts mean you're never trapped, and the fixed-desk tier is called Resident.

Engine Shed

from £10 / day · closing December 2026
Temple Meads · incubators

The city's front door for tech innovation, in Brunel's original terminus building inside Temple Meads station — a members' lounge, eighteen offices, five meeting rooms and a decade of Bristol's startup story. It is also in its last months: the building closes in December 2026 and the team moves on to run the Bristol Innovations Zone at the Temple Quarter Enterprise Campus.

77 Stokes Croft

from £6 / day
Stokes Croft · coworking

The bootstrapper's pick. An unfussy, light, open-plan floor in the middle of Stokes Croft where six pounds buys you a desk for the day and nobody upsells you a community experience. Monthly desks are £160, and there are real offices upstairs when a team outgrows the floor.

Spike Island Workspace

creative coworking from £189 / mo
Spike Island / Harbourside · studios

A working desk inside one of the country's most respected contemporary art spaces, in a huge converted tea-packing factory on the harbourside. The coworking floor sits alongside more than seventy independent artists' studios — the creative density per square metre is unmatched in Bristol, and the access provision is the best on this list.

Mild Bunch

permanent desk £250 / mo
Stokes Croft · coworking

Bristol's longest-running independent coworking space — going since 2010, above Stokes Croft, full of art, plants and people who actually know each other. No corporate shine, no upsell, just a light room, a shady terrace and your own set of keys.

Runway East

offices from £360 + VAT / desk
Victoria Street · offices

The startup-flavoured option by Bristol Bridge, seven minutes' walk from Temple Meads. Pricier than the indie spaces, but you're buying a building full of funded startups, a river-view lounge, a rooftop terrace and the kind of corridor conversations that turn into intros.

Boxworks

container studios from £1,000 + VAT / mo
Brabazon, Filton · studios

Twenty forty-foot shipping containers re-imagined as design-led private studios out at Brabazon, by the old Concorde hangars — run by Forward Space, the Hamilton House family. Each box is 28 square metres, rated for office, retail or maker use, with a barbers and a coffee shop along the parade.

Science Creates

labs + offices for deep tech
Old Market & St Philips · incubators

Where Bristol's science founders go. Three incubators now — St Philips, Old Market and the new OMX — with real wet labs, offices and a community built by founders for founders, plus its own deep-tech venture fund. If your startup needs a fume hood, this is the only entry on this list that has one.

St Werburghs Centre

office day rate £30 · rooms from £16 / hr
St Werburghs · community hubs

A proper neighbourhood centre that doubles as the cheapest meeting and working venue north-east of the centre — rooms by the hour, a small office you can take for thirty pounds a day, a café, a garden, and the kind of community noticeboard where things actually happen. It has been serving this neighbourhood for over fifty years.

Bristol & Bath Science Park

serviced offices from £325 + VAT / desk
Emersons Green · offices

The out-of-town option — a purpose-built science and tech campus at Emersons Green with serviced offices sized for three to ten people, grow-on labs, a 140-seat Forum and parking the city centre can only dream of. If your customers and team live along the ring road, the maths beats a central desk.

Orega, Colston Avenue

serviced offices from £385 / desk
City Centre · offices

Polished serviced offices on Colston Avenue for the company that's stopped being a startup and started having clients in reception. Flexible terms, concierge, showers and secure cycle storage — you're paying city-centre serviced rates and getting exactly what they promise.

Tobacco Factory

offices for creative businesses
Southville · offices

George Ferguson's great south-Bristol rescue — a working theatre, café-bar, bakery, Sunday market and performing arts school, with offices for creative businesses in the same building. It hums seven days a week, and BS3's coffee, lunch and after-work options are all in the postcode.

The Vassall Centre

workspace for charities · rooms from £25 / hr
Fishponds · community hubs

Bristol's barrier-free home for charities and social enterprises — an accessible single-storey Fishponds campus built on the idea that good work deserves a good building, with a Changing Places toilet, hearing loops, free parking outside the Clean Air Zone and a café run by PROPS. If you're founding a charity or CIC, start your search here.

Filwood Green Business Park

offices, studios & workshops
Knowle / South Bristol · offices

South Bristol's purpose-built answer to the question of why all the workspace is north of the river — a BREEAM Outstanding building in Knowle with offices, studios and 28 proper workshops, sized for small businesses that make things as well as type things. 24/7 access, CCTV, EV charging and a wildlife area next door.

Common questions.

Real numbers from the list above, not marketing copy.

How much does a hot desk cost in Bristol?
Day rates on our list run from £6 at 77 Stokes Croft up to £35 + VAT at Origin Workspace, with Engine Shed at £10, Raw Space at £18, Future Leap at £20 and DeskLodge, Square Works and Gather Round around £30 in between. Prices last checked 17 August 2026 — always confirm the current rate with the space itself.
What's the cheapest coworking space in Bristol?
77 Stokes Croft has the lowest day rate we've found, from £6 a day, all-inclusive. For a monthly foothold, DeskLodge's Flex ONE+ starts at £25 a month for one day's access, and Raw Space's part-time tier starts at £68 a month.
Which coworking spaces are on or near Gloucester Road?
Raw Space sits on Gloucester Road itself, with tiered part-time and full memberships from £68 a month and drop-in days at £18. Future Leap, which opened on Gloucester Road in 2019, now publishes only its Clifton site at The Old Chapel on Oakfield Road, where day passes are £20 and hourly access is £3.50.
Can I get a day pass without a membership?
Yes — several spaces sell single-day access with no commitment, including 77 Stokes Croft (£6 a day, all-inclusive), Engine Shed (£10 a day), Raw Space (£18 a day) and Square Works (£30 + VAT). Each space's own page carries the exact terms and what the price does and doesn't include.
What's the difference between a hot desk and a dedicated desk?
A hot desk is any free spot on a shared floor, booked by the session or the day — the cheapest, most flexible option. A dedicated desk is reserved for you permanently, usually with lockable storage, and costs more: Mild Bunch's dedicated desks start at £250 a month, for comparison.
How do I choose between 77 Stokes Croft, Hamilton House and Runway East?
It depends on stage. 77 Stokes Croft suits bootstrappers who just want a cheap, no-fuss desk; Hamilton House suits creatives who want studio culture and community; Runway East (and Orega in the city centre) suit teams ready for a polished, serviced office once you've outgrown the kitchen table.
