The coolest co-working spaces in London and the UK

As business of all sizes are looking to return to the office, many are ditching the office layout of before and are looking to co-working spaces for flexibility and a unique environment to feel inspired to work smarter.

We’ve chosen a few of the coolest co-working spaces in London and the UK that cut through the noise. We gave some bonus points for spaces with unique & innovative designs.

There’s a range of different types of co-working and serviced office spaces around, it’s getting hard to choose a place that’s truly focused on creating a workplace where individuals, startups & business can really work their best.

Glove Factory Studios

Standing tall & strategically placed just 9 miles out of Bath, Glove Factory Studios is a definite contender for being the coolest workspace in the Wiltshire & Somerset area. Their stylish office & co-working spaces are housed in an industrial heritage building that’s been given an urban and professional restoration. Overlooking a courtyard, with beautiful open countryside and lakes, a perfect space for inspired working. One of the standout benefits of this location is ‘Glove Dippers’. A wild swimming club, available as a membership, in the private lake at the studios. Now, that’s definitely a USP!

Pentire House

Heading further south, this upcoming co-working and innovation centre is set on building ‘the ultimate workspace in Newquay’.

Who doesn’t love the beach? Pentire House is brand new co-working space with seaside views spread over four ‘decks’. The main co-working will be housed on the top floor in the vibey ‘Crow’s Nest’. They plan on making it a real community driven space with regular networking events, yoga classes and start-up workshops. A unique work, surf, grow attitude, this is going to be one of the hottest workspaces for businesses in Cornwall.

Paddington Works

We had to include ourselves on this list. A collaborative co-working space with a community of startups and creative disruptors, Paddington Works can be found right next to the basin, a stone’s throw from Paddington Station. A strong focus on health & wellbeing and sustainable working, PW was purpose built to be the ‘workspace of the future’ for West London.

At the heart of the space is a flexible auditorium, designed as a huge set of wooden steps, used to host events, screenings and presentations, and as day-to-day informal work or meeting space. Member benefits include, Yoga Classes, Open Air Co-working in our gardens, access to professional production facilities as well as our in-house podcast production agency.

Tribe Porty

Based in Edinburgh’s seaside, this creative event and co-working space has built a tribe of members working and thriving in Portobello.

Tribe Porty is specifically designed to encourage creativity – the random collision of people and ideas that spur innovation, exchange and connectivity. With a range of opportunities for co-working including office spaces, permanent desks, hot desks and meeting spaces, Tribe suits the evolving working styles of freelancers, start-ups and people who require a flexible workspace and opportunities to share, collaborate and grow.

Anyone looking for a workspace with a strong sense of community should consider making Tribe Porty their new work base.

The Sustainable Studio

A home for creatives in Cardiff. Tailored for emerging artists and creative startups, The Sustainable Studio offers a unique co-working space for residents to create & build their work in a shared environment. Housed inside an industrial warehouse, repurposed to include an immersive space for performance, exhibitions, photo & video shoots. Over twenty affordable studios and communal workspace. ‘More than just space’ – we agree!
