Royal House, Chester

Coworking in Chester city centre

Hot desks by the day or the month at Royal House on Upper Northgate Street, five minutes from the bus interchange. Every bill included, from £140 a month.

ShiftWorks Royal House is a coworking space in the middle of Chester: a Grade A building with a bright, open floor of shared desks, a lounge with a tan sofa and a reading corner, glass fronted private offices and meeting rooms, a phone booth for calls, and a coffee shop next door. It is the professional, sociable alternative to the kitchen table for freelancers, consultants, remote employees and small teams who want a Cheshire address without a lease.

Take a day pass when you are in town, a flex desk for unlimited weekday access to any free seat, or a resident desk when you want the same desk every day with your own key and access around the clock. Superfast Wi-Fi, printing, kitchen access, meeting room time and invitations to member events are all included, and memberships roll monthly, so you can scale up or down as your work changes.
