5 workspaces you need to visit in Leeds

While Leeds has historically been known for its heavy industry, working in this city looks very different today. Now, you’re more likely to find its residents headed to an attractive flexible workspace than to the cloth factories (which at one time was the city’s biggest export) - and luckily, we’ve got some of the best spaces on our platform right now!

Read onto the end for more information on how to book today.

Just a three minute walk from Leeds train station, 2-Work is ideally located for train travellers. Along with high-spec facilities and private office suites, you’ll also find a sociable coworking lounge where members can cultivate a sense of community and collaboration. 2-Work also take this one step further, often hosting networking events and perks outside of work to their members.

Something extra unique about this space is that they also have an on-site design team - so if you want to improve this workspace to suit your needs, simply let them know.

Located along the banks of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, this Landmark location sits slightly away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre, making it a perfect place to get your head down with no distractions (they also have an on-site car park if you’re driving). Plus, if you really want to get into the zone why not hire out your own private office for the month?

Though this building dates back to 1937, the decor is anything but dated. With a sleek, modernist finished, this office benefits from a mixture of open plan areas, private offices, and semi-private booths so there’s plenty of variety to choose from. It’s also centrally located near all necessary transport links, which makes it easy to access for commuters.

We also love their on-site cafe, Two Hands Cafe, which serves hot and cold food and barista coffee, so there’s plenty to feed the soul and the brain.

This huge space currently boasts 350 desks and 19,000 square feet of space - you can also even bag yourself a virtual office space! We love the use of greenery in this location as well as bright colours, which have been known to boost productivity and general mood at work.

If you find yourself having to travel to Leeds for a work trip, why not book your accommodation and workspace at the same time? Holiday Inn, located outside the city centre, gives you access to workspaces and meeting rooms, so there’s no need to stay huddled in your room balancing a laptop on a stack of pillows.

You can book into any of these spaces now via NearU, available on the App Store and Google Play. No subscriptions, no sneaky overheads. Just pay-as-you-go.
