What does a coworking space in Portsmouth cost?
A hot desk at 1000 Lakeside Building costs £34.80 per day including VAT, booked through Wezoo with no membership and no monthly contract. Book the desk. Skip the membership. That single number is the whole pricing model — you pay when you work there, and nothing when you don’t.
Most Portsmouth operators sell coworking as a monthly subscription, typically somewhere between £95 and £200 a month depending on access hours and whether the desk is dedicated. That maths works if you show up four or five days a week. For hybrid workers, freelancers between client visits, or anyone passing through Hampshire for a few days, per-day booking is the cheaper and simpler route — and the only commitment is the day itself, with free cancellation if plans change.
Inside 1000 Lakeside Building: Portsmouth’s flexible workspace campus
1000 Lakeside Building sits on the Lakeside North Harbour campus at Western Road (PO6 3EZ), just off junction 12 of the M27. It’s the landmark glass building you see from the motorway — and inside, Regus runs the ground floor as a full flexible workspace operation. Wezoo bookers rate it 4.4/5 overall, with reachability scoring 4.8/5: there’s on-site parking, bike storage, and Cosham railway station is a short walk across the A27.
The workspace itself covers the practical bases: fast wifi, breakout spaces, a coffee and tea bar, a lounge, and an on-campus restaurant for the days when a meal deal at your desk won’t cut it. The building is wheelchair accessible, and catering can be arranged for meetings. Picture the day before a client pitch: you need a desk by 9, a quiet corner to rehearse at 11, and a proper room at 2. This building handles all three without you leaving the ground floor.

Coworking Space Portsmouth: hot desk, day office or meeting room?
The strength of this coworking space Portsmouth offers is that one address covers three ways of working. Here’s how they compare:
| Workspace type | Price (incl. VAT) | Capacity | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hot desk | £34.80 / day | 1 person | Solo focus days, hybrid workers |
| Day office | £90.00 / day | 1–27 people | Team days, confidential work |
| Meeting room | from £36.30 / hour | 4–10 people | Client meetings, interviews, workshops |
Choose the hot desk when it’s just you and a laptop. Choose a day office when the whole team needs a door that closes — there are twenty private rooms here, from a one-person focus office up to a 27-person project space, all at £90 for the day with coffee, tea and water included. And when you need to look sharp for two hours rather than work for eight, the meeting rooms (4, 6 or 10 seats, with video conferencing kit, whiteboards and large displays) start at £36.30 an hour.
What is coworking at Lakeside North Harbour best for?
Commuter convenience, mainly — this is the coworking space Portsmouth drivers reach without touching city-centre traffic. With around 40% of GB workers now splitting time between home and a workplace according to ONS homeworking research, the desks that win are the ones you can drive to, park at, and walk into. Lakeside is exactly that: M27 junction 12, minutes from Port Solent, with Portsmouth’s growing business community on its doorstep.
It’s also a natural base for distributed teams working across the Solent. If half your team is based 20 minutes west, they have the same setup available — see our guide to coworking space in Southampton for the sister-city options. Commuting from the east side? There are office spaces in Havant ten minutes up the A27. And if you’re weighing up coworking against day offices and longer-term options more broadly, our flexible office guide walks through which format fits which working pattern.
How far in advance should you book?
For hot desks, a day or two ahead is usually enough — there are five desk zones at Lakeside and solo bookings are flexible. Day offices deserve more lead time: the popular 4–6 person rooms get taken for team days, so book those a week out if your date is fixed. Meeting rooms sit in between; the 10-seat boardroom is the one to reserve early. Booking on Wezoo takes under two minutes, and cancellation is free — so when in doubt, book the date and adjust later. Pay for the day you work, not the month you don’t.
