desks £132 / mo all-in
CREATE Centre is a community workspace in Spike Island / Cumberland Basin, Bristol. It starts at £132 a month for a single desk, or £421.88 a month for a bay of four to five desks. Environmental and social-purpose organisations who want neighbours in the same fight.
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.
Eligibility is restricted — Create offers this workspace to charities and organisations with environmental and social aims.
All-inclusive apart from a phone line. The £421.88 buys a bay of four to five desks, not a private office. No VAT position is stated.

Most startups, and that is not a criticism: the workspace is offered to charities and organisations with environmental and social aims, so a general commercial founder is not the intended tenant.
