The Coworking Spaces of South Wales (Map/List)

* Important note! * Please enquire and look into an individual coworking space before you plan your visit. Please understand that exact coworking space locations may not be 100% accurate (I’m pretty confident that they are – or that they’re close, for those that I’ve not visited personally), and that this map may not be 100% up-to-date (e.g. if a space closes and we do not manage to update it straight away). Thanks!

About this map/list

This map of all the coworking spaces in South Wales originally started out as a side-project for Computer Recruiter (my parents’ IT recruitment agency) back in January 2015. However, when the company shut shop in late 2018 due to my parents retiring, I decided to continue to maintain and update it myself – carrying it across from cr25.uk to here, its new home.

Since its launch all the way back in 2015, I’ve tried my best to keep the list/map as up-to-date as possible. Back then there weren’t that many coworking spaces around (maybe a dozen or so in total, across the whole of South Wales?), but since then the coworking scene has taken off massively (which is amazing!), but as a result it’s meant that I’ve struggled to keep on top of it properly – especially as it’s a side-project that earns me zero money.

In 2022 I decided to ‘streamline’ it by only showing the map, i.e. by getting rid of all the info/images of each space (which – to be quite honest – was the time-consuming bit and what was putting me off updating it all the time).

FAQ

What’s with the different colours for the pins?

I’ve tried to match each pin to the corresponding coworking space’s branding, to better distinguish all the different types out there. There’s a lot of indycubes, so they’re all the same colour. Beyond that, I’ve tried my best not to reuse the same colour more than once, but that’s easier said than done with so many and when lots of them have branding that’s similar colours.

You’ve missed a space! / Can you add my space?

Please let me know by tweeting me or via my contact form and I will add it in when I next get chance. So long as it fits the criteria (it’s a coworking space that’s in South Wales and it’s currently open) then it’ll most likely be added.

Can you add my office / coffee shop / something else that’s not actually a coworking space?

Err… If it’s a coworking space, yes. But if it’s anything else, then no. Examples include the guy who asked me to add his ‘coworking space,’ which was just one desk in a room on its own (LOL!), or the coffee shop owner who sent me a very condescending email explaining the definition of coworking, and therefore his coffee shop is a coworking space because people can cowork at his coffee shop. Please don’t be those people. 😂🙄

You’ve listed a space that’s moved/closed…

Please let me know know by tweeting me or via my contact form! Thanks in advance!

Do you get paid to do this?

Nope! But if you want to support me (and a big thank you if you do) then please consider buying my book, which gives networking advice to freelancers and business owners who struggle with sales or who find it ‘icky’. Fun fact: coworking is a great way to network. 😉 I should probably get a Ko-fi profile setup sometime, so that people can buy me coffee and send me donations that way.

Who are you?

Hi! I’m Steve, a freelance SEO consultant, occasional SEO blogger, freelancing/networking blogger, self-published author, D&D geek, rock music fan, and probably a lot of other stuff I’ve forgotten to mention. I’m also a bit of a coworking fanatic – hence the existence of this map!

Do you do much coworking yourself?

I try to. The pandemic hasn’t helped (obvs), but I’m a member of Welsh ICE (Caerphilly) and I also try to visit Cwrt (Cardiff) and Tramshed Tech (Cardiff) on occasion. I also try to visit other spaces where and when I can.
