Coworking Space Preston: New City House vs Preston Docklands
Two locations, one price, two very different days. One puts you in the middle of the city; the other parks you next to the water with easier driving and more room to spread out. The table shows how they compare before we walk through each.
| New City House | Preston Docklands | |
|---|---|---|
| Area | City centre (Ringway) | Ashton-on-Ribble, by Preston Marina |
| Address | 57-63 Ringway, PR1 1AF | Unit 5, Albert Edward House, PR2 2YB |

New City House — the city-centre pick
New City House sits at 57-63 Ringway, a ten-minute walk from Preston railway station and a couple of minutes from the Fishergate shops. The coworking desk here comes with fast wifi, whiteboards and large displays close to hand, natural light, and breakout spaces when you need to take a call. Catering can be arranged through the on-site team. It is the obvious choice when you are arriving by train, meeting someone in town, or want lunch options within a two-minute radius.

Preston Docklands — the marina-side pick
Preston Docklands occupies Albert Edward House on Navigation Way, the business park beside Preston Marina in Ashton-on-Ribble. It lists five separate co-work areas — useful when two or three of you want desks on the same day — plus a lounge, a coffee and tea bar, and step-free wheelchair access throughout. Driving in is painless compared with the city centre, and the marina makes the lunchtime walk an actual walk.

What does a coworking day in Preston cost?
On Wezoo, every coworking space Preston offers costs the same flat £30 per day, including VAT, wifi and shared facilities. No joining fee sits on top, and there is nothing to cancel afterwards.
For honest market context: directories count around ten desk-friendly workspaces across the wider Preston area, with independents around Winckley Square and the docklands advertising day passes from roughly £10 to £25, usually alongside monthly membership plans. Wezoo’s £30 buys the instant-booking route — confirmed desk, fixed price, two minutes of admin — whether you search for coworking or co working Preston.
Which part of Preston should you work from?
The right coworking space Preston has for you depends on how you arrive. Pick the postcode that matches your day. Train in, meetings in town, errands between calls: New City House, because everything is walkable and the station is close. Driving in from the Fylde coast or juggling school runs: Preston Docklands, where parking is simpler and the desks sit one floor from a quiet lounge.
Preston’s centre is compact — the professional district around Winckley Square, the Ringway corridor and the station all sit within a few hundred metres, and Preston City Council continues to push regeneration investment into the centre. The docklands cluster, a mile west, grew out of the old port and now hosts much of the city’s out-of-centre office stock, as Lancashire County Council economic data reflects.
Need more than a desk — day office or meeting room?
Both buildings go beyond hot desks, which matters on the days a desk is the wrong tool. A private day office — your own lockable room, booked per day — costs £78 at New City House and £70.80 at Preston Docklands, with rooms sized from solo up to 16 people. Meeting rooms run from £31.37 per hour for a 4-person room at New City House and £38.27 per hour for the 6-person rooms at the Docklands. Same buildings, same booking flow, different door.
The rule of thumb: hot desk for focused solo work, day office for confidential calls or a team day, meeting room for anything with a client in it. Our flexible office guide walks through how the products fit together if you mix all three across a month.
How far in advance should you book a hot desk in Preston?
For a single desk, same-day booking normally works — both locations confirm instantly. The squeeze comes with groups: New City House lists one co-work area while Preston Docklands lists five, so if three of you need desks on the same Tuesday, book the Docklands a few days ahead rather than gambling on the morning.

Both locations cost the same: £30 per day for a hot desk, whether you pick New City House in the city centre or Preston Docklands by the marina. The price includes wifi, access to breakout spaces and the use of shared facilities.
Can I get a day pass for coworking in Preston?
Yes — day-based booking is the default on Wezoo. Hot desks in Preston are priced per day rather than per month, so a single booking works exactly like a day pass.

Yes. New City House has three meeting rooms from £31.37 per hour (4 to 8 people), and Preston Docklands has two 6-person rooms from £38.27 per hour. Day offices are also available in both buildings from £70.80 per day.
