Our world has changed, not just the earth we rest on, but the businesses we work at, and the spaces we work in as well. More and more businesses have changed their way of working, and adapted to this changing world. More roles are now partly, or even fully, remote. With that comes more freedom, but also a challenge. When working remote, a simple and instant solution is to work from home, but with house mates, partners, and kids around, that isn’t always an ideal situation.
Enter; co-working spaces! For those of us that can’t hack working from home co-working spaces are popping up like mushrooms in September. Find a few of our favourites, their pros and cons below!
Pros
Cobalt Studios offers quiet spaces, sound proof booths and a beautifully built co-working space in the Ouseburn, close to your favourite pub and yoga studio.
Cons
Prices for Cobalt’s co-working space are high and exclude those on a lower budget, with prices per day starting at £11.50 when choosing the Resident Plan.
Pros
In this old college building there are many spaces with free WiFi and plugs to work remotely, for only £20 per month! Including a café, small kitchen, and free parking.
Cons
For those of us that don’t drive, it’s a short bus trip from Newcastle’s city centre to the west end to get to the John Marley Centre.
Pros
Floe offers flexible coworking in a very central area with meeting rooms, breakout spaces, telephone booths and a kitchen with the option to purchase day passes.
Cons
In case you are driving, good luck finding a parking space, and Floe day passes start from £20 excluding VAT. To access the building, you have to use your phone as your key.
