About The Abbey
Our office building at Reading Abbey Ruins combines the everyday practicality of modern workspace with the extraordinary setting of one of Europe's former royal monasteries. We've transformed these historic grounds into a contemporary business environment where companies work alongside the ancient stone walls of the south transept and chapter house. The workspace sits right along the Kennet and Avon Canal, with Forbury Gardens as our neighbor. Your team gets private offices equipped with everything you'd expect - high-speed internet, furniture that actually works, and 24/7 access so you can set your own schedule. We handle the basics like professional cleaning, IT support, and reception services, leaving you free to focus on your business. What makes working here different is the setting itself. During breaks, people walk through what used to be the monastery's dormitory and refectory. The open grounds mean plenty of natural light and fresh air - a change from typical office blocks. We're managed by Reading Borough Council, who maintain both the historic elements and our modern facilities. Our meeting rooms work for everything from client presentations to team workshops. The kitchen's fully stocked, there's secure bike storage with showers for cyclists, and we've got proper disabled access throughout. Phone booths give you privacy for calls, while the breakout spaces let teams collaborate informally. We provide printing services, mailing addresses, and handle all the utilities. Getting here is straightforward - Reading Station is a short walk away. The surrounding area has plenty of restaurants and cafes for lunch meetings or after-work drinks. Our flexible contracts include everything in one price, so you know exactly what you're paying each month without searching through fine print for hidden costs.
