Once known primarily for beach days and bohemian weekends, Brighton & Hove is fast becoming one of the UK’s most exciting destinations for creative coworking. In 2025, the twin cities are attracting a wave of freelancers, founders, and remote professionals who are reimagining how and where they work.

Here’s why Brighton & Hove is on the rise, and why it might be the perfect place to grow your next big idea.

  1. 💻 A Flexible Work Revolution, By the Sea
    As hybrid and remote work models become the norm, professionals are no longer bound to big cities or long commutes. Many are choosing to base themselves in places where work fits around life, not the other way around. Brighton & Hove offers the ideal setting: walkable neighbourhoods, independent cafés, strong transport links, and a coastline that clears your mind. It’s a natural choice for those looking to blend focus with freedom.
  2. 🏢 Workspaces That Work for You
    The rise in demand for flexible, creative environments has led to a new generation of coworking spaces, FOUNDRY now among them. Now expanding into Hove, FOUNDRY is creating thoughtfully designed workspaces that support freelancers, startups, remote teams, and everything in between. From hot desks to private offices, soundproof booths to community events, FOUNDRY is building more than just office space. It’s building culture, connection, and creativity.
  3. 🎨 A Creative Capital with Coastal Character
    Brighton & Hove has always punched above its weight when it comes to creativity. Artists, designers, developers, writers, and marketers have long called this place home. Add in two universities, a major arts festival, and a progressive, entrepreneurial spirit, and you've got a city primed for innovation. Coworking spaces in the area aren’t just about plugging in your laptop, they’re about plugging into a thriving, supportive network of like-minded creatives.
  4. 🌿 Wellness + Work = The New Productivity
    Brighton & Hove isn’t just a place to get things done, it’s a place to feel good doing it. With sea swims before stand-ups, yoga studios down the road, and some of the best vegan food spots in the UK, wellbeing is woven into daily life here. Coworking here doesn’t feel like a grind, it feels like growth.
  5. 🌍 The Future of Work Is Local—and Brighton & Hove Is Leading the Charge
    More professionals are turning away from the chaos of the capital in search of meaningful work in meaningful places. Brighton & Hove, with its unique mix of creativity, calm, and community, is quickly becoming a blueprint for what modern work can, and should, look like.

With spaces like FOUNDRY Hove, the infrastructure is here. The talent is here. The energy is here.

So the real question is: are you?
