Liverpool has become one of the UK’s fastest-growing coworking hubs, offering unique benefits for businesses and professionals looking for flexible workspace solutions. With the city’s mix of heritage, modern infrastructure and thriving business scene, it’s a more attractive option than London’s crowded market. Coworking spaces in Liverpool have grown by over 150% in the last 5 years3.
A Thriving Coworking Ecosystem
Liverpool now has around 35 active coworking spaces, each with its own character and offering3. This is the scale of the growth of the city as a business destination. From corporate style spaces to creative hubs in converted warehouses, Liverpool’s coworking scene caters to all professional needs and budgets.
The economic impact is significant, with coworking spaces contributing around £25m to Liverpool’s local economy3. This isn’t just about numbers – the quality and diversity of spaces has evolved to meet the sophistication of the market, with options from £50/month for basic membership to £300/month for premium facilities2.
Strategic Locations and Urban Benefits
One of Liverpool’s biggest advantages is the location of its coworking spaces. The city centre locations have lifestyle benefits – gyms, cinemas, restaurants, shops and the famous Liverpool bar scene on your doorstep1. This work-life integration is what today’s professionals want.
Different areas have different vibes: the creative Baltic Triangle is home to spaces like Jordan Street Studios, home to over 40 businesses from design, media, digital and property sectors7. Business-focused areas near Liverpool Street Station offer more corporate environments with great transport links6. This allows businesses to choose a location that suits their brand and operations.
State of the Art Facilities and Flexibility
Liverpool’s coworking spaces have invested in the infrastructure to meet modern business needs. Many offer 1GB ultrafast internet, fully furnished workstations and premium amenities7. The range of workspace options is extensive – private offices, dedicated desks, hot desking and meeting rooms available on demand6.
This flexibility also extends to contract terms. With pandemic-driven changes in working patterns, many spaces now offer flexible arrangements to accommodate hybrid working models, so businesses can scale up or down as needed.
Community and Collaboration OpportunitiesBut perhaps the biggest advantage of Liverpool’s coworking scene is its community focus. Regular networking events, workshops and professional development sessions create business growth and collaboration opportunities3. The spaces in the city report a remarkable 40% creative professionals, 30% tech entrepreneurs and 30% from other sectors3.
This diversity creates cross industry networking and innovation that you won’t find in traditional office environments. For startups and SMEs this collaborative ecosystem provides resources and connections to grow without the cost of setting up independent premises.
