The best coworking space Brighton and Hove option: Mocatta House
Mocatta House sits just north of Brighton mainline station on Trafalgar Place (BN1 4DU), which makes it an easy landing spot whether you commute in from London or walk up from the seafront. Run by Spaces, the building carries a 4.2-star rating across more than 3,400 reviews, and the coworking floor is bright, calm and built for a productive day rather than a noisy café.
Your £49 day rate includes fast WiFi, a desk in a naturally lit shared area, a coffee and tea bar, a lounge and breakout spaces for calls, plus bike storage and step-free access. Doors are open Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 5:30pm, and nearby parking and public transport keep the arrival simple. Book it for a single deadline day or drop in a few times a week.
What is a coworking space, and what do you get with a hot desk?
A coworking space is a shared, professionally managed office where people from different companies book a desk by the day. A hot desk is any available seat in that shared area — you turn up, plug in and work, then leave the space behind when you are done. No lease, no membership, no cleaning rota.
A hot desk is the entry point to flexible workspace. If you want the full range — desks, day offices, meeting rooms and private offices under one roof — read our guide to flexible office space.
Coworking space vs day office, meeting room, and private office
Coworking is the right call when you want a professional desk for the day without paying for a whole room. When you need something more private, other formats fit better.
| Type | Best for | Priced |
|---|---|---|
| Coworking hot desk | Solo focused work, drop-in days | per day |
| Day office | A private room for the day | per day |
| Meeting room | Client meetings, interviews | per hour |
| Private office | A permanent team base | per month |
