Snow Hill operates as Birmingham's compact financial core, where Landmark at Two Snowhill sits directly above the station entrance, offering meeting rooms from £58/hour just five steps from your train. Unlike the sprawl of Digbeth or the bustle of New Street, Snow Hill concentrates its office provision within a five-minute radius, with x+why at 103 Colmore Row providing access to their Eighteen club on the 18th floor. The district's Victorian architecture houses modern flex spaces, where WeWork's 55 Colmore Row combines heritage facades with wellness rooms and barista bars. Transport connectivity beats anywhere else in Birmingham, with Snow Hill station, Bull Street Metro, and New Street all within a 10-minute walk.
Snow Hill's pricing reflects its premium position, with hot desking starting at £35/day at WeWork or £32/day at x+why. Private offices show wider variation: Victoria Square WorkRooms offers smaller suites from £240/desk/month, while premium spaces at The Boutique Workplace Company on 102 Colmore Row reach £525/desk/month. Meeting rooms range from Landmark's £58/hour for a 10-person space to BE Offices' £62/hour at Somerset House. Coworking memberships typically run £139-374/month, with Runway East at Arca including generous meeting room allowances in their packages starting around £380/desk/month.
Landmark at Two Snowhill provides the closest access, literally sharing the building with Snow Hill station's entrance, making it a two-minute indoor walk to platforms. Runway East at Arca on Temple Row sits just two minutes away, while Spaces at The Lewis Building on Bull Street takes three minutes and puts you directly at the Bull Street Metro stop. For those needing multiple transport options, WeWork at 55 Colmore Row offers seven minutes to Snow Hill, eight to New Street, and three to Bull Street Metro. Livery Place provides a quieter alternative just two to three minutes from Snow Hill's side entrance.
Snow Hill excels at scalability, with x+why at 103 Colmore Row offering enterprise suites from 31 to 84 desks alongside smaller offices for 4-20 people. BE Offices at Somerset House can accommodate teams from 1 to 200 desks in their Art Deco building with golf simulator and roof terrace. For rapid growth scenarios, Victoria Square WorkRooms provides offices scaling from single desks to 90-person suites, all with 24 parking bays. WeWork structures their space for maximum flexibility, allowing teams to expand from 1 to 100+ desks without changing buildings, while Bruntwood SciTech's Cornerblock offers larger managed suites from 12 to 168 desks.
BE Offices at Somerset House stands out with its golf simulator alongside the expected gym and roof terrace, while x+why's Eighteen club on the 18th floor of 103 Colmore Row includes a bar and panoramic terrace exclusive to members. Bruntwood SciTech's Cornerblock boasts Birmingham's largest private roof terrace plus a free on-site gym, competing with The Boutique Workplace Company's 26,000 sq ft of design-led space with its own roof garden. Runway East at Arca, opened in 2024, differentiates through B-Corp certification and generous free meeting room allowances, while Landmark keeps things practical with 24/7 access, showers, and secure bike storage for the cycling commuters from Moseley and Harborne.
Coworking suits professionals needing flexibility, with The Boutique Workplace Company offering membership lounges at £70/month for occasional use, while x+why's Full Flex membership at £374/month includes dedicated desk space and community access. Private offices work better for established teams: Regus at Edmund House provides smaller suites from £239 per person monthly, while WeWork includes furniture, utilities, and cleaning in their all-inclusive model. Consider Victoria Square WorkRooms' dedicated desks at £199/month as a middle ground, offering consistency without full office commitment. Spaces at The Lewis Building blends both models in their Victorian building, allowing teams to test coworking before committing to private space.
Financial services dominate, with insurance firms and wealth managers filling x+why's enterprise suites at 103 Colmore Row, drawn by the BREEAM Excellent credentials and proximity to Bank of England's Birmingham office. Tech startups cluster at Runway East's Arca location, using the community events and roof terrace for networking and recruitment. Professional services firms favour The Barwick building's boutique Grade II* listed suites for client-facing credibility, while creative agencies gravitate toward Spaces at The Lewis Building for its blend of Victorian character and modern coworking culture. Regional headquarters often select WeWork or Landmark for their international brand recognition and comprehensive meeting facilities.
Most Snow Hill venues offer external meeting room hire, with Landmark at Two Snowhill providing online booking for their Tolkien room (10 people) at £58/hour or Doyle room (20 people) at £75/hour. Victoria Square WorkRooms opens their facilities to non-members from £50/hour, including rooms for up to 50 people for presentations. WeWork operates a credit system where external users can book through their app at £10/seat/hour. For event-scale gatherings, x+why's Eighteen space and Runway East's event areas accommodate larger groups, though these typically require direct enquiry for pricing. Through Zipcube's platform, you can compare availability across all venues without individual registrations.
Parking presents challenges in Snow Hill's dense urban core, making Victoria Square WorkRooms' 24 dedicated bays particularly valuable for driving teams. Regus at 156 Great Charles Street includes underground parking and bike storage, solving the commuter puzzle for Jewellery Quarter-adjacent teams. Bruntwood SciTech's Cornerblock provides extensive bike storage and showers rather than car spaces, reflecting the district's push toward sustainable transport. Most venues like WeWork and x+why rely on nearby NCP facilities at Snow Hill station (£15/day) or Great Charles Street Queensway. The Bull Street Metro and Snow Hill station connections mean many occupiers abandon cars entirely, with Landmark reporting 80% of members arrive by public transport.
Snow Hill venues have adapted to post-2020 flexibility demands, with Runway East offering monthly rolling contracts after initial terms and WeWork providing month-to-month options even for private offices. BE Offices at Somerset House advertises promotional deals like their 2-person office at £700/month on flexible terms, while Orega at The Colmore Building specialises in 3-12 month agreements for project teams. Traditional operators like Regus still prefer 12-month minimums but offer break clauses at six months. Victoria Square WorkRooms bridges both worlds with daily, monthly, and annual options across their product range. Through Zipcube, you can filter specifically for venues offering the term length that matches your business planning horizon.
