We are Rachel (of Blue Leaf Accounting) and Veronique (of Castel Branco Architecture), two business owners who spent years working from home.  We've been juggling spreadsheets, sketchbooks, and endless cups of tea at kitchen tables.  As well as the kids.  As our businesses grew, so did the need for a bit more breathing room and fewer interruptions from delivery drivers and cartoons.

​

We had talked for a while about sharing a space.  We dreamed about somewhere creative, calm and full of good coffee.  When a spot at Linslade Mews appeared, it felt like the right time and the perfect place.  It practically begged to become something more than just an office.

​

So we set out to create The Forge. Our goal is to create a warm, inspiring coworking space for people like us. Whether you're freelancing, running a small business, working remotely, or just craving a day away from the dining room table, this space is for you. We have hotdesks, dedicated desks, and two amazing meeting spaces. It's only a five-minute walk from the train station.

​

Our vision is simple: a space that feels good to work in. 

 

Creative but not chaotic.  Calm but never dull.  Empowering, trusting, and always welcoming.

​

We are building the space we have always dreamed of. 

 

We hope you will feel right at home.
