About this space
Brick Yard is in a great spot on Charles Square in Shoreditch, just a short walk from Old Street station, with many of Shoreditch’s independent cafés, restaurants and cultural venues within a few minutes’ walk.
Operated by Ethical Property, the building has a noticeably different feel to many managed workspaces. Rather than offering standardised offices, the focus is on flexibility and community. The workspaces are essentially blank canvases, allowing occupiers to configure and furnish their offices to suit their own requirements.
The communal facilities are practical and thoughtfully considered. Two ground-floor meeting rooms can be used independently or combined to create a larger event space for AGMs, workshops and team gatherings, with a generous allocation of free meeting room hours included. Secure gated cycle storage, showers, accessible changing facilities and even a washing machine support active commuters.
There is a huge emphasis on community and networking. Brick Yard shares an events programme with Ethical Property’s wider network, creating opportunities to connect with like-minded organisations both locally and across the UK. A community noticeboard highlights volunteering opportunities, local initiatives and upcoming events, and while the management team aren’t based on site, they are easily accessible and actively involved in supporting occupiers.
There is a strong family feel to the workspace. It’s friendly, flexible and very definitely community-led.

FAQ
What kind of workspace is Brick Yard?
It's more of a serviced workspace than a conventional serviced office, run by Ethical Property with a functional, informal, family feel. Offices are offered as a blank canvas, so partition walls can be added, and members can bring their own furniture or have it provided.
Where is it and how do I get there?
Brick Yard sits at 28 Charles Square in Shoreditch, a short walk from Old Street station (Northern line and overground). There's no dedicated parking, though street parking is available nearby subject to local restrictions.
What meeting rooms are available?
Two ground-floor meeting rooms, suitable for small to medium meetings, bookable through the management team. Additional meeting facilities are available through the shared arrangement with The Green House.
How does tea and coffee work here?
Refreshments are managed through the building's own Tea Club rather than provided as a standard amenity, and each floor kitchenette also has a washing machine, a distinctive practical perk.
Is it good for cyclists?
Yes. There's gated, secure bike storage on site, plus an accessible shower and changing facilities for anyone cycling to work.
Is there an on-site café?
No, but Shoreditch's independent food and coffee scene sits right on the doorstep, so members are well served for lunch and coffee breaks.
What's the entry and security process like?
Secure gated entry with a buzzer system, letting visitors contact their individual client contact directly. There's no permanent on-site reception, since this is shared with The Green House.
What events or community activity does the building link into?
Brick Yard shares facilities and an events programme with The Green House, and members are described as genuinely knowing and supporting one another.
