Design-led coworking in a creative basement hub – artisan coffee, fresh pastries, and a friendly vibe in New Town.
About
If you're walking down Jamaica Street in Edinburgh's New Town, look out for the unassuming entrance to Jamaica Yard – that’s where Hive Spaces hides. This basement-level coworking spot strikes that perfect balance between a buzzing social hub and a focused workspace. You’ll find a design-led mix of hot desks in the White Space and Common Room, plus two bookable meeting rooms (the 7-person Green Room with a Neat board for Teams and the cosy 6-person Vaults). The vibe is relaxed and creative, with plenty of natural daylight, an outdoor seating area, and a free snack bar that includes Redemption Roasters coffee, fresh pastries from Company Bakery, and complimentary fruit. Dogs are welcome, there are showers for post-cycle commutes, and Thursday nights stay open until 9pm for a later finish. Book a day pass online for £46 or grab a monthly hot desk for £345 – and don’t miss the e-bike charging station in the building.
