Our Story

For the last 5 years we have welcomed over 500,000 guests and clients
through the doors of our branches and in that time, we have grown to
understand what our guests and clients want and need from us as a business.
When we launched as the UK's first pay per minute venue, we were excited to
see how the space would be used and who it would be used by.

Our first few years saw us as a hangout, a place to come and sip coffee, eat cake and play
scrabble with friends whilst some utilised us as a workspace or meeting
venue. The balance tipped towards our leisure guests but as we evolved, so
did the way that our guests and clients used our spaces. The rise of the gig
economy saw more freelancers using our spaces as their places of work, the
number of our meeting clients increased dramatically, and we reached our
very own work-life balance. A place where we work by day and unwind at
night.

In order to reflect our evolution, we thought it was about time that
we acknowledged those changes and gave ourselves a re-brand. From now on we
will be known as ClockWork because that's how our guests and clients like
things to work, just like clockwork. We have always prided ourselves on
providing a frictionless service that allows our guests and clients to get
the most out of their time in our spaces; that ethos will continue. We will
still provide our value for money, pay per minute pricing platform and will
still live by our heritage of "everything is free except the time you
spend". We will always be a place where work and leisure meet; that's the
way our guests and clients like it and that's the way we like it, so book a
meeting, co-work with us, play our board games and drink our coffee.

It's still about "time" and we work like ClockWork Visit
