5 flexible workspaces in Liverpool to know about this September
Liverpool isn’t short of good places to spend the working day. Beyond the coffee shops and kitchen-table set-ups, the city has a growing mix of flexible workspaces – from desks overlooking the waterfront to creative communities tucked away in the Baltic Triangle.
So, with September bringing a return to slightly more structured routines, we’ve rounded up five spots worth having on your radar. Whether you need somewhere for the occasional workday, a regular coworking base or a new home for your team, these are some of Liverpool’s flexible workspaces to know about.
1. Clockwise Liverpool
There aren’t many offices where a lunchtime wander around the Albert Dock is part of the deal.
Set inside the historic Edward Pavilion at Liverpool’s Royal Albert Dock, Clockwise Liverpool pairs one of the city’s best-known locations with a contemporary approach to working.
Inside the Grade I listed building, there are coworking areas, private offices, club lounges, breakout spaces and meeting rooms, alongside an on-site Two Hands café for coffees and easy working lunches.
The waterfront location is the real draw, though. With the docks outside and the city centre within walking distance, it’s a particularly good option for anyone who wants their working day to come with a bit more of Liverpool attached to it.
2. Spaces Liverpool
Sometimes convenience wins, and Spaces Liverpool puts you right in the middle of the city.
Designed for everything from the occasional day of hot desking to a more permanent office set-up, there’s a mix of coworking spaces, dedicated desks, private offices and meeting rooms.
Communal areas give you somewhere to move away from your desk for a coffee or catch-up, while the central location means you’re never far from Liverpool’s restaurants, shops and bars.
A handy one to know about if you regularly have meetings around the city – or like the option of heading straight from the laptop to dinner and drinks.
3. Bruntwood
For those looking for a professional base without committing to the traditional office set-up, Bruntwood offers plenty of flexibility.
Its Liverpool spaces mix coworking and private offices with more relaxed lounge and breakout areas, as well as meeting rooms for the days when working from a café table isn’t quite going to cut it.
There are useful extras too, including showers, changing facilities and bike storage, particularly handy if you’re cycling into the city or squeezing a workout into the working day.
With options for individuals and teams, it’s an easy city-centre option to have bookmarked.
4. Baltic Creative
Working in the Baltic Triangle already feels a little different from heading into a conventional office – and Baltic Creative very much leans into that.
The workspace is built around Liverpool’s creative and digital community, bringing freelancers, start-ups and established businesses together across flexible offices, meeting spaces and communal areas.
It’s the community that makes this one stand out. Rather than simply offering somewhere to open your laptop, Baltic Creative is designed to encourage collaboration and connections between the businesses based there.
Add the cafés, bars and independent businesses of the Baltic Triangle just outside and it’s an especially appealing option for anyone working in the creative industries.
5. DoES Liverpool
Also flying the flag for Liverpool’s independent creative scene is DoES Liverpool, a community-led workspace with a particular focus on technology, digital and making.
Alongside desks and coworking space, there’s an emphasis on learning, sharing skills and meeting other people working across the city’s tech and creative industries.
Regular events and collaborative facilities give it a distinctly different feel from a polished corporate coworking space – and that’s exactly the appeal.
If you work for yourself and miss having people around to bounce ideas off, or simply want somewhere that feels genuinely connected to Liverpool’s independent community, this is one to know.
