Office space in Ancoats
Mill conversions, creative studios and coworking across Ancoats and New Islington, searched across a wide range of operators, free.
Ancoats has gone from derelict mill district to one of the most talked about neighbourhoods in the UK. The old cotton mills now hold design studios, tech teams and independent coworking, with some of Manchester's best food and coffee on the doorstep.
It appeals to businesses who want character rather than a corporate tower, and it usually comes in below Spinningfields on price. Floorplates tend to be smaller and more characterful, which suits teams of five to fifty.
