A glimpse inside
How can I find you?Tucked in the heart of Summertown, with easy access to coffee, buses, and all the essentials, no long treks required.
Connect, don't networkWe’re not fans of the word ‘networking’, it screams lanyards and name badges. Let’s just say: connect with like-minded pros, occasionally over a beer or Prosecco.
Other stuff going onThere’s always something happening at The Cluster; from craft fairs to acoustic sets, it’s all about bringing people together. Keep an eye out for what’s next!
One is a lonely numberRemote work can feel a bit like being stranded on a desert island, just with better WiFi. At The Cluster, you’ll stay connected, caffeinated, and in good company.
We’ve now got actual bird’s eye footage (thanks, drone overlords), so unless you’re navigating with a flip phone from 2004, you’ve got no excuse for not finding us anymore.
We’re tucked away just behind Summertown high street, nestled between dangerously good coffee, bursts of creative chaos, and more plants than is strictly necessary.
Come find us. We’re caffeinated, co-working and really quite lovely.
Welcome to The Cluster, Summertown’s loveliest co-working space (says us and a bunch of happy Clustomers on Google Reviews!)
We’re not your average co-working space. Sure, we’ve got the essentials: comfy desks, speedy WiFi, and all the coffee you could need. But we’ve gone a bit further. Our outdoor event space is perfect for everything from casual chats to full-on brainstorm sessions or just catching a bit of sun when it decides to grace us.
So if you are a startup, small business, or solo entrepreneur desperately searching for a workspace that doesn’t involve your sofa or your pets’ judging gaze you have come to the right place.
*That we definitely didn’t pay them for… no honestly we didn’t!
Spent the last couple of days working at the Cluster whilst visiting Oxford from London. Highly recommend here, I’d work here permanently if I lived in Oxford. Great vibe, lovely owner, and friendly people. Such a nice, relaxed, homely atmosphere – nothing to fault really.

I spent a day at The Cluster, to look around and see what their hot desk facility was like. The space is lovely, clean and contemporary, and includes a podcast studio. Really friendly vibe and a flexible set-up. I’m based outside Oxford so on-site parking makes life much easier.

The Cluster has been transformative – for the last year, I’ve worked at home, and it took this place to lure me out. I rent a hotdesk three days a week and it has been a game changer for my productivity – and happiness. This is a wonderful space – well equipped and well laid out for working, but also with a café and outdoor terrace for time away from the desk. Kevin runs the place with a smile, keeping it ticking over and ensuring its welcoming feel. I can’t recommend it more highly.

Our company have tried out The Cluster for co-working and were very impressed with what’s been created – a welcoming space with a warm atmosphere in a convenient location. Kev was super friendly and helpful too. We’ve since found our own permanent space, but would certainly consider The Cluster otherwise.

An amazing space to go and work, especially as a freelancer, the hot desk option is so helpful. The loveliest people, stunning coffee and generally just a fab place to go and work. Such a find!

Such a lovely independent co-working space, conveniently located in Summertown with plenty of plug sockets, good WiFi, local coffee supplies AND a delicious coffee stall with food on-site. Owner, Kevin, is warm, friendly and helpful. There are options for permanent desks as well as hot-desking, indoor and outdoor communal space, all in bright, clean and stylish surroundings.

Fantastic co-working space in Summertown. Bright, comfortable and well set up, with great Wi-Fi and a really positive, welcoming atmosphere.

The Cluster has what I was looking for in a co-working space, being well designed and equipped and firmly rooted in the local community. The space is comfortable and has lots of character, fast Internet, great facilities…plus I enjoyed bumping into fellow “Clustomers”. It’s certainly a nice upgrade on working from home, and I look forward to future visits.

Discovered this gem co-working space The Cluster in Summertown, Oxford. Received a lovely warm welcome from founder Kevin Jessup. It’s small and the perfect space if you WFH and need a change-of-scenery with the added benefit of a community of like-minded co-workers. Highly recommend it, I will certainly be back!

We came along to the Discovering Monsters and Monster Mask-Making workshop and it was fantastic! Jason Brown was absolutely brilliant — my boys were completely captivated during his book reading of Carl Loft and the Oover Monster and loved getting creative with their monster masks. Kevin and the whole Cluster team were so welcoming, friendly and relaxed, and the atmosphere made us feel right at home. Also, the coffee here is genuinely great, which is always a bonus! We would love to come back for another workshop – such a lovely experience from start to finish. Highly recommend!

Kevin, was very accommodating and provided us with a room for a meeting at the drop of a hat. Very gracious when we requested this within the hour. The Cluster came across as a cosy, but professional office setting with economically viable prices in comparison to other locations. Look forward to returning to use the function of the PodBox for an actual future Podcast. Thanks again.

I hot desked at The Cluster for one day and it was fab! I was super productive thanks to the great set up and help from such friendly co workers. It’s got that perfect mix of quiet office meets coffee shop buzz – just the right energy to get stuff done. But with little pockets to make private calls when needed. The location is great too, with plenty of nice spots nearby for coffee, lunch, or a quick break. Kevin was especially helpful and made sure I had everything I needed. I’d definitely come back if I’m in the area again! Thanks all!

I’ve had a desk at The Cluster for about 8 months now and I absolutely love it. It’s a beautiful, calm, comfortable workspace. The other people here are really, really lovely. Most of all Kevin is brilliant at looking after everyone. He’s sorted out my computer problems, found a chair that works with my troublesome back, and introduced me to new biscuits.

Not to mention the coffee downstairs is on point. My perfect new home from home in the heart of Summertown. Special shout out for every desk having a very quiet fan to keep you cool.

The space itself is bright, clean, and well maintained thanks to Kevin, the custodian. It is perfect for focused work and is also conveniently located with great local amenities nearby. I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a productive and pleasant working environment in Oxford.

I cannot recommend The Cluster highly enough. Literally everything you could ever want from a co-working space. Kevin is building something really unique and special, and it’s already a fantastic community to be a part of. A lovely mix of people from interesting and diverse working backgrounds in a stunning building, with all the amenities you could need and epic coffee & street food right downstairs.

If you’re anti-corporate (perhaps despite your day job?) like me, The Cluster is the best option in Oxford. Kevin runs this characterful old slaughterhouse turned funky design agency turned tasteful tongue-in-cheek co-working boutique space. Think interiors designed for creatives.

Just some of the companies who've used and loved The Cluster
What sets us apart?
Well, for starters, we’re not just a room full of desks and awkward small talk over a lukewarm instant coffee. We decided coffee machines were so 1992, so we got our own café instead.
At The Cluster you’re not just another customer, you’re a Clustomer (go with it!) We’re a small, tight-knit community where everyone knows each other, and you’ll never just be a desk or a name to us.
Did we also mention, Clustomers get 20% off at our café, because we believe in making sure the people who make our space special are always well-fed and happy.
The Cluster is a co-working space where freelancers, small businesses, and creative minds come together to work, connect, and grow. Think coffee shop vibes, but with reliable WiFi and fewer students (well none!)
We’ve got high-speed internet, comfy desks, free-flowing tea & coffee, and the kind of atmosphere that makes you actually want to work. Oh, and snacks (from our very own coffee shop on site). Snacks are important.
Absolutely! We offer day passes, so you can try us out before committing. Though, fair warning, you might not want to leave. Complete the booking form on the homepage – go on you know you want to!
Both! We have areas for focused work and spaces where you can chat, brainstorm, or just enjoy a good banter with fellow Clustomers.
We have our very own phone booth , not the time travelling kind (sorry), but still pretty impressive.
It’s a sleek, sound-dampened space designed for private phone and video calls or just a moment of peace away from the hustle. With integrated lighting, ventilation, and a comfy perch, it’s the perfect spot to chat without the whole Cluster eavesdropping. Just step in, close the door, and enjoy your own little bubble of quiet (but maybe don’t move in permanently).
Prefer a bit of fresh air? Our yard is also a great spot to take calls, ideal for catching some sun while you chat (though we can’t control the weather… yet, sorry!)
At The Cluster, you’re not just a customer you’re a Clustomer (go with it!) We’ve got a WhatsApp community group to keep everyone connected, monthly socials where we swap ideas (and maybe a few pints), and generally, we’re just a good bunch of brains bouncing off each other. Whether you’re here for deep work or deep chats, you’ll always feel part of something.
Super easy, just drop us a message, book a tour, or swing by for a coffee and a chat. We’ll get you sorted in no time!
Yes, you absolutely can! Just download the Werksy app. It lets you drop into coworking spaces like The Cluster without a membership. Simply scan the Werksy QR code when you arrive and again when you leave, the app tracks your time and bills you for exactly what you use.
Handy tip
If you’re planning to stay for more than 4 hours, it’s cheaper to book directly with us.
Our dive into the wonderfully bonkers world of indie business.
I’m Kevin, the accidental adult who runs The Cluster in Summertown. Now I’m nabbing Oxfordshire’s indie business folk for cosy chats about the wins, the wobbles, and the “oh thank God it’s not just me” moments of doing your own thing. Give it a watch or a listen, go on. Be nice. I’m fragile!
Brought to you by the brilliant Pod Collective, this little beauty is (as far as we know!) Oxfordshire’s only podcast + videocast studio inside a co-working space.
Record your podcast, film a videocast, run a photoshoot, or even squeeze in a small meeting, the space is flexible, professional, and a lot cooler than your spare bedroom.
Jack & Hugo (aka the Pod Collective) are the creative brains behind it all, great guys, full of energy, and ready to help you make content that actually gets noticed.
