With office rental and energy bills soaring, it’s no surprise that the co-working industry is on the rise. Most co-working spaces offer flexible contracts that can reduce the overall cost of renting an entire office, as well as regular events and well-being activities, all within a community of different businesses and individuals.
Bristol is home to some of the best co-working spaces in the South West, with a diverse scene of locations and offerings that lean into the creative and quirky nature of the city. We’re sharing our favourite co-working spots in Bristol right now, and why we think they’re the best for you and your business.
Square Works
We couldn’t write a list of Bristol’s Best Co-Working Spaces without including ourselves. Square Works was named Bristol’s best Co-Working Space at the 2024 Bristol Property Awards, and was most recently named Best Co-working space in the South West in the 2025 Tally Awards. We are Bristol’s only co-working space combined with a private members’ club – The Square Club.
Nestled into the historic Berkeley Square, Square Works seamlessly blends tradition with modernity and luxury. We offer a range of membership options to suit all needs, from flexible hot-desking memberships to fully serviced offices, plus, all members can take advantage of our specially curated events calendar, a newly-built fitness suite, members lunches and more. With an added bonus in the form of a global network of reciprocal clubs!
