Bristol Temple Meads Rail Station (12 mins)
Pricing: from £295 to £430 per desk per month
Bristol is one of the UK's strongest regional tech and creative economies, and the office market has kept pace. Desk rates sit around 35 to 40% below central London, broadly in line with office space in Birmingham and office space in Leeds. The city centre is split across two clusters: Temple Quarter around the main station and the Old City around Baldwin Street, with a growing fringe offer in areas like St Pauls, Clifton and Bedminster. Serviced office providers such as Runway East, Clockwise and DeskLodge have a strong presence, and Bristol's B Corp culture means many workspaces lead on sustainability.
Teams looking at the South West also compare Bristol with Bath, which has a smaller market and higher per-desk rates, or with office space in Birmingham for Midlands access.
How Much Does Office Space Cost in Bristol?
Private offices in Bristol typically cost between £295 and £430 per desk per month. Here is how pricing breaks down across the main areas.
Temple Quarter and Redcliffe
The most expensive area, sitting at the top of the Bristol range.
This is the cluster closest to Bristol Temple Meads station. One Temple Quay is a modern glass-fronted building on the river with open-plan serviced offices. Runway East Temple Meads is a B Corp-certified workspace directly opposite the station, popular with startups and scale-ups. Temple 1852 occupies the original Bristol and Exeter Railway headquarters, a Jacobean building reimagined as boutique office space. You are paying for the shortest walk to the station and proximity to the regeneration zone.
Finzels Reach and Bristol Bridge
Upper mid-range, just below Temple Quarter pricing.
A waterside regeneration area south of the Old City. Clockwise Bristol at Finzels Reach is in the Grade II listed Generator Building, with river views and 24/7 access. Runway East Bristol Bridge sits on the banks of the Avon with a riverside cafe and bar. Both are around a 10 minute walk from Temple Meads. This is where much of Bristol's tech and creative community is concentrated.
Old City, Baldwin Street and Colston Avenue
Mid-range, comparable to Finzels Reach.
The commercial core between Castle Park and the Harbourside. DeskLodge House on Colston Avenue has six floors of themed workspace with rooftop garden and meeting rooms for up to 100 people. Orega Bristol at 33 Colston Avenue offers a more corporate serviced setup. Newminister House on Baldwin Street is a newer addition. Good for businesses that want to be central without sitting in the Temple Quarter premium zone.
St Pauls and Stokes Croft
Lower mid-range, among the more affordable central options.
The creative quarter north of Broadmead. Spectrum on Bond Street runs on 100% renewable energy and attracts sustainability-focused businesses. Gather Round at Brunswick Square is a Grade II listed creative coworking and office space in the heart of St Pauls. A 15 minute walk from Temple Meads, but well served by bus routes. This area suits creative, media and social enterprise teams.
Clifton and Out of Centre
Lower end of the range for Clifton; most affordable overall for business parks.
Origin Workspace in Clifton offers a village feel on Berkeley Square, popular with consultancies and small professional firms. Clifton has its own train station (Clifton Down) for local services. For budget options with parking, Citibase at Bristol Business Park near the M32 and Aztec West off the M4/M5 junction offer drive-in accessibility that the city centre cannot match.
