With all that considered, it's no surprise that Cardiff is one of our most popular cities to book into here at NearU! So if you're taking a work-ation to the Welsh capital, or are lucky enough to live their full-time, why not check out a couple of our fantastic flexible workspaces?

A standing reminder of the country's history, Cardiff Castle has stood for 2000 years. From Roman occupation, to Norman Conquest, to the horrors of World War 2, this castle has truly seen the country transform, which is why it's a must-visit for any history-lovers amongst us.

It's not every day that you get to say you work in a synagogue, is it?

Then, choose between their meeting rooms for a more private affair, or their coworking space if you want to take in the beauty of their historic stained glass windows.

We love when old spaces are given a new lease of life. And in fact, Temple Court isn't the only religious-institution-turned-coworking-space on our platform! Missionworks in Hammersmith is a pretty spectacular former Church - though now the interior would probably leave you thinking you were in an Amazonian jungle.

Nestled at the heart of Bute Park, the Secret Garden Cafe is an independent business that pride themselves on their commitment to the environment and the local community.

Staying overnight? Instead of trying to turn your hotel room into a makeshift office space or blocking out the noise of the busy restaurant with your headphones, why not just book your desk at VWorks?
