The Common is not a coffee shop, we’re not [just] a co-working space. We’re a [work/ social/ meeting] place to connect people – your tribe.
Our mission is to create connections between the people that work here. Read our Customer Reviews or this article to find out how working here can make daily life (not just your work life), way better!
The Common is a thoughtfully designed (photos) and welcoming space, that takes its inspiration from the start-up culture. Take a sneak look inside (2024 video) or watch the video below for an official tour.
We offer private offices, team desks and dedicated desks with external monitors. We have phone booths for calls, meeting rooms for companies and a garden for relaxing. We also love dogs.
Become a regular member, or just drop in for an hour. Rent a desk, an office, or one of our two meeting rooms for your team, or online meeting. Most importantly though, join a community and make connections each day.
If you need more than just a place to work, if you want to actually connect with people, then you found home. Escape the home space and discover a focused, friendly work place.
Let’s do something different.

Membership | Monthly
Our memberships are uniquely designed to give people flexibility, and structured to encourage community.
Downtown and just want to sit in our garden to have lunch, or make a quick call? No problem – we won’t count that day! Want to split a couple of days into half days? Sure that makes sense to us! Our plans are designed like that.

Sometimes you just need a few hours away from the home, other days you need a full day of focused work. Our plans include free drop in’s. We also allow you to split some days into half days.

The talent and resourcefulness of our members is what makes this space unique.

Social Capital | Sponsorship
The Common was built to create community and a greater connection between people and organisations. It’s our mission.
Built around the principles of Social Capital from Seats to Meet in Utrecht, in the Netherlands (our inspiration for The Common), we have three programmes to help us achieve our mission.
Our first programme is called Common Capital (aka social capital), this is for individuals and companies. The second programme is a grant for community groups working on innovation, and in the areas of technology, AI, outdoor rec tec, the Green Economy.. Our third is venue sponsorship, for non profits and charities.
If you work in innovation, are helping to change the world for the better, or simply want to contribute to the community, then join us to help give back. Read more here…
