Coworking Space Old Street: 8 Options Compared (2026)

If you need a coworking space near Old Street station, start with the seven local options below. They range from day passes at Mindspace to dedicated desks at The Trampery and private offices at Runway East.

We also include Ramen Space in Dalston for software founders who value working alongside other builders and can be flexible about location. It is outside the Old Street area, so check the journey fits your routine.

These are recommendations for different needs, rather than an independent ranking of the best spaces. Prices and access details were checked against the linked official websites and brochure on 9 October 2026; we have not personally tested every venue.

Quick comparison

The monthly options cover different amounts of access. Two days a month, unlimited hot-desking, a dedicated desk and a desk within a private office are different products. Compare the included days and commitment before choosing on price.

Prices marked + VAT or + taxes/fees exclude those charges. Where neither is shown, the cited source did not make the tax treatment clear; confirm the total before booking. Starting prices are subject to availability and plan terms.

1. Ramen Space: software founders in Dalston

Ramen Space is at Unit 6, Sledge Tower, Dalston Square, London E8 3GT, one minute from Dalston Junction. Allow for a separate journey from Old Street when deciding whether this location works for you.

Membership costs £59 + VAT for two days a month, rising to £299 + VAT for five days a week. A day pass is £30 + VAT. Opening hours are 9am–6pm, Monday to Friday, excluding bank holidays and Christmas holidays. A free weekday trial is available with no card required.

The focus is founders building SaaS, apps and other technology products. Daily stand-up at 10:45 and communal lunch give you ways to meet people during the working day. Desks have 28-inch monitors, with fibre broadband, four meeting rooms and tea, coffee and snacks included.

Choose it if that community and desk setup suit your work. Choose a local option below if Old Street is essential to your commute or you need evening and weekend access.

2. Work.Life Old Street: flexible attendance

Work.Life Old Street is at Rivington House, 82 Great Eastern Street, EC2A 3JF. The operator describes it as a three-minute walk from Old Street station.

Its workspace directory lists Old Street Flex from £28/month and Unlimited from £220/month. The configured price depends on days, single-site or all-site access and commitment. The £28 starting price is not unlimited coworking.

Its Old Street booking page lists day passes from £36/day, varying by availability, for use Monday to Thursday 8.30am to 5.30pm and Friday 8.30am to 5pm. Unlimited membership provides 24/7 access, while Flex gives 24-hour access on the days used. Amenities include phone booths, bookable meeting rooms, refreshments, bike storage and weekly socials. Screen rental costs extra and availability is limited.

It is worth comparing if you need occasional days or flexible access near the station. Check extras and the final plan total before committing.

3. Mindspace Old Street: day access and working zones

Mindspace is at 142–146 Old Street. Its official London day-pass guide lists Old Street at £39/day. Monthly membership pricing requires an enquiry.

The building offers shared desks, quieter working areas, phone booths and a 2,500 sq ft ground-floor lounge. It also advertises networking events, wellbeing sessions and a gym partnership. Mindspace describes it as its newest London location, at Churchill House near Silicon Roundabout.

This is a useful option for trying an Old Street workspace without choosing a monthly plan first. Confirm day-pass hours and any meeting-room or gym charges when booking; a facility being in the building does not mean every plan includes it.

4. beyond The Bower: published prices and access tiers

beyond The Bower is at 207 Old Street, EC1V 9NR. It lists coworking at £250/month with 9am–5pm access, dedicated desks at £350/month with 24/7 access, and private offices at £620 per desk/month.

A hot-desk day pass is £50. The location page also links to a free coworking day offer; check availability and eligibility for The Bower before relying on it.

Facilities include phone booths, bookable meeting rooms, barista tea and coffee, bike storage and a programme of events. The main decision is access: the lower-priced coworking plan has shorter hours than the dedicated-desk and office options. Confirm taxes, booking terms and any extras in your quote.

5. The Trampery Old Street: a dedicated desk and longer commitment

The Trampery is at 239 Old Street, EC1V 9EY. Its October 2025 brochure lists resident dedicated desks at £295 + VAT/month with 24/7 access. Its website describes desk membership as open-ended on rolling monthly licences. The brochure's licence options start from six months, with discounts for longer commitments, so confirm the term that applies to a desk.

The space focuses on creative and social-impact businesses, with member events, refreshments and discounted meeting-room and event-space bookings. The brochure also includes private studios; ask for current availability and a quote rather than assuming its advertised units are still available. The website lists private offices for teams of four to eight from £354 + VAT per desk per month.

Consider it if you want your own desk and expect to stay for several months. The cited brochure does not establish a general day-pass price, so ask about trial access if you want to visit first.

6. WeWork 145 City Road: multi-location access

WeWork 145 City Road is at 145 City Road, EC1V 1AZ, near Old Street station. It lists day passes from £40 plus applicable taxes and All Access Plus from £339/month plus applicable taxes and fees.

The page also advertises promotional pricing for a 12-month plan. Check the current offer and its terms rather than treating a temporary discount as the standard monthly rate.

All Access Plus includes one coworking-space booking per day and three monthly credits for meeting rooms or private offices. The building lists outdoor space, phone booths, showers, bike storage and a wellness room. Dedicated desks and offices require an availability enquiry.

This is worth considering if you work across different locations. Check that the sites and booking times you need are included in your chosen membership.

7. Fora White Collar Factory: multi-site access and facilities

Fora White Collar Factory is at 1 Old Street Yard, EC1Y 8AF, described as a three-minute walk from Old Street station.

The location page lists Roam at £450/month, Owned dedicated desks at £500/month and offices from £660 per person/month. Roam and Owned include 24/7 home-workspace access and business-hours access to over 60 other workspaces. Members receive discounted booking of meeting rooms across the collection; those rooms are not unlimited free meeting space.

White Collar Factory has a café, roof terrace, showers and bike storage. A general day-pass price is not clearly listed on the location page, so enquire if you want occasional access.

Consider Fora if the building facilities and wider network justify the cost for you. Compare it with other monthly-access plans, rather than Ramen's two-days-a-month tier.

8. Runway East Shoreditch: startup office options

Runway East Shoreditch is at 52 Tabernacle Street, EC2A 4NJ. It advertises private offices from £420 + VAT per desk/month.

Its meeting-room page lists 20 Shoreditch rooms, starting at £53/hour excluding VAT, and describes Old Street station as a three-minute walk away. The operator also promotes community events and refreshments.

Runway East's wider materials mention dedicated desks and hot-desk memberships for individuals and small teams. Current Shoreditch availability, prices and access terms need confirming, so do not assume the private-office price buys an individual hot desk.

It is a useful shortlist option for a startup team comparing private offices. Solo workers should ask which individual plans are available at this specific building.

How to choose

Start with the days and hours you actually need. For occasional Old Street visits, compare Mindspace, Work.Life and beyond's day-access options. For a regular desk, compare the monthly plans and their minimum commitments. For a team office, request quotes that include the full team size, taxes, meeting-room allowance and notice period.
