5 best office rentals in Newcastle for businesses that mean business
Finding the right office space is like hunting for the perfect coffee spot – too stiff and it’s uninspiring, too relaxed and it lacks the professional vibe you need.
We’ve experienced it ourselves. We started small but quickly outgrew the setup. And the truth is, the right workspace can make all the difference.
Thankfully, the office rentals scene in Newcastle has come a long way. Today, it caters to a wide range of needs – from compact spaces ideal for startups to polished, fully equipped setups built for scaling teams.
So, we explored what’s available and compared options, and now we’re ready to share our top picks.
How much do office rentals cost in Newcastle?
Office rentals in Newcastle typically cost between £500 and £1,500 per month for small to medium-sized private offices. However, prices can vary based on larger spaces, prime city centre locations, and the number of team members.
1. Central Space – Alderman Fenwick’s House
Address: Alderman Fenwick’s House, 98-100 Pilgrim St
Contact Details: +44 191 644 4039
Operating Hours:
- Monday to Friday: 8:30 AM – 4:30 PM
- Saturday & Sunday: Closed
Central Space’s private offices at Alderman Fenwick’s House impressed us with their distinctive combination of history and modern luxury. This Grade I-listed building was once a coaching inn that hosted Charles Dickens and has been fully renovated to meet Grade A+ standards.
We love the fancy touches that make the workspace look so classy, such as the LED lighting, high-quality flooring, and modern decor. Everything from 95-square-foot work pods to 25,000-square-foot headquarters has individual controls.
We also appreciate their barista station and business lounge. These areas provide a welcoming place to recharge, reconnect, or simply take a break.
Their amenities include 24/7 access and high-speed internet. They also have professional mail handling and secure bike storage, which, to be honest, are features we don’t usually see in typical offices.
Yet, one thing to keep in mind about Central Space is that their largest office can only fit a team of up to eight. This makes it a great choice for smaller teams, but it may not be suitable for businesses planning for rapid growth.
Smooth setup and support
“Very easy to deal with and always incredibly informative along the way. We love our new office, and nothing has been a chore for Sarah in helping us get set up there. Thanks”

2. BizSpace
Address: Amber Court, Newcastle Business Park, William Armstrong Drive
Contact Details: +44 800 470 1139
Operating Hours:
- Monday to Friday: 8:30 AM – 5:30 PM
- Saturday & Sunday: Closed
BizSpace offers a unique combination of scenic views of the River Tyne and convenient access to the city centre. It’s located in Newcastle Business Park, which is home to major firms such as The AA and British Airways, so this adds credibility to your address.
Plus, we love that they’ve been steadily expanding since being acquired by Värde Partners in 2015. And their growth mindset shows in their flexible lease terms. There are no long-term lock-ins, which we appreciate.
Their three-floor setup, with offices wrapped around a nicely landscaped courtyard, is surprisingly calm for a work spot. They also offer everything from 2-person offices to 130-desk setups, making the space versatile enough for teams of any size.
The space is decent overall, but not having an on-site cafe, gym, or even a small event area feels like a missed opportunity. A few basic amenities would’ve really elevated the experience.
Regardless, their dedicated building manager is a notable asset. It’s nice to know that someone on-site actually knows the place and can help if anything goes wrong.
Perfect office space with great service
“This was our first choice for office space after checking out the competition in Newcastle, price, location and facilities are exactly spot on and Lisa has been fantastic in helping us settle in. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.”
- David Mabon, Google Review
Reasonably priced and cleaned daily
“Excellent service from this centre and in particular their manager. The offices are of great standard, reasonably priced and cleaned daily. The facilities include meeting rooms, breakout space and shower facilities. My staff all agree, its a great place to have an office.”

3. Orega Serviced Offices
Address: 2 St James’ Gate, NE1 4AD
Contact Details: +44 800 840 5509
Operating Hours:
- Monday to Friday: 8:30 AM – 6:00 PM
- Saturday & Sunday: Open 24 hours
What we liked most about Orega Serviced Offices is the attention to detail, from barista-quality coffee and hotel-style shower facilities to smart meeting rooms with full AV setups.
Their office packages are also flexible. In fact, their Virtual Office Package actually allows you to use their prestigious city address without committing to a physical office – ideal for freelancers.
Other flexible options for those needing a physical setup include soundproofing, breakout zones, and ergonomic workstations. These features are ideal for businesses that prioritise both privacy and performance.
The whole space has a clean, modern vibe that makes it easy to focus. They clearly put real thought into both function and design.
However, while the amenities and professional setup are definite perks, we found that serviced offices like Orega’s can come at a premium. It’s something to keep in mind when weighing costs.
Perfect office and great team
“We have been here a full year now! This office suits us perfectly. It’s in a great location, making it easy for us and our wider UK team to travel up and down the country. The office itself is very professional with a great team in Jenny and Will, who are friendly and supportive. Highly recommend to anyone looking for new office space in Newcastle.”
- Hazel Scurr, Google Review
Supportive team and central location
“Fab working environment! Jen and Will are fantastic and always on hand if you need anything. From refilling the coffee machine to hunting down missing packages (thanks again team!), they are always happy to help and go above and beyond for their clients. Highly recommend to anyone looking for office space in a super central location!”

4. The Racquets Court
Address: 3 College St, NE1 8JG
Contact Details: +44 191 917 4250
Operating Hours:
- Monday to Friday: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM
- Saturday & Sunday: Closed
A friend of mine has an office at The Racquets Court. It’s a fantastic space for teams that appreciate a bit of historic sports court with their modern work environment. This setup helps teams stay focused without feeling boxed in.
The meeting rooms are a standout feature. They are equipped with rapid WiFi, smart screens, and even optional catering from Olivia’s Kitchen.
We appreciate that they also offer thoughtful extras, such as fresh fruit, unlimited coffee, and snacks. These are really perfect for client meetings or brainstorming sessions.
The hot desks are great features designed for parents and guardians. The flexible access makes it easier to work around school drop-offs and pickups without missing out on those workspace perks, like unlimited snacks.
Flexible people, like us, will also love their pay-as-you-go system. It allows you to make your own access plan for a few hours or the whole day.
However, this system works with passes, offering options such as Full-Day Passes, Half-Day Passes, Thirsty Thursday, and Thank Dog It’s Friday. These are great for flexibility, but costs can eventually add up if you’re a frequent goer.
Great short-term workspace
“I needed work space at short notice and Racquets Court provided. Easy to use website for booking, great communication and facilities are fantastic. f you have a dog, you can take them in on a Friday and they also have a community bookswap. Kitchen was clean, well stocked and a wonderful addition. No hesitation in recommending this space.”
- Gavin Salmon, Google Review
Perfect for a quick and quiet workspace
“I needed a quiet workspace in the centre of Newcastle. I only had a day to arrange this and found Racquets course via an internet search. The booking process via an online system was quick and efficient and the additional information they sent me was excellent. The office space was clean and tidy, the complimentary tea’s, coffees and fruit were a nice touch. The kitchen area and breakout areas were again clean and spacious. I will definitely use this co-working space again and would highly recommend it to anyone else needing somewhere to work in the centre of Newcastle.”

5. Wizu Workspace
Address: New Bridge St W
Contact Details: +44 191 406 4280
Operating Hours:
- Monday to Friday: 8:30 AM – 5:30 PM
- Saturday & Sunday: Closed
Wizu Workspace at Portland House feels like one of the more underrated spots we came across in Newcastle. The building has real charm. It’s got that old-school character, but it’s also got everything you’d expect from a modern workspace.
One thing we really appreciate is how much freedom they give you to personalise your space. We’ve spoken to a few clients who raved about how easy it was to tailor things, from moving walls around to adding private meeting rooms.
One monthly fee covers superfast internet, climate control, stocked kitchens, showers, and premium coffee – an ideal everyday setup. However, personalised add-ons like custom layouts, branded signage, or dedicated meeting rooms can drive up the cost.
Additionally, if you’re looking for something more spacious and private, their Office 4.0 plan is worth considering. It offers up to 70 desks, a private kitchenette, and a dedicated breakout area.
It’s also worth mentioning that the location’s great. It’s easy to get to, and you’ve got all of Northumberland Street just outside the door.
Friendly team and modern spaces
“Wizu Workspace in Newcastle is a great place to work from. The team are really friendly and are always quick to help with anything you need – nothing ever feels like too much trouble. The communal areas are open, bright and modern, and are ideal if want to have a quick chat with someone. The team often put on themed events too which gets people from different businesses networking. The location is also right in the middle of Newcastle, so everything’s on your doorstep. I’de highly recommend for anyone looking for a modern, professional, and welcoming workspace.”
- Callum Grieves, Google Review
Great and supportive atmosphere
“We moved into an office in Wizu Portland House a few months back and have nothing but positive things to say. The office space and communal areas are clean and comfortable with a great atmosphere and sense of community. The staff are great, they’re so approachable and have been so helpful getting us settled into our new space.”
