Live jazz Brighton has a new home. Every Thursday from 5–8pm, The Rooftop at Projects Club Nile House opens its doors for after-work drinks, small plates and live music above the Brighton skyline — free entry, no booking required.
Best Coworking Space Brighton: A Day at Projects Nile House
If you’re looking for the best coworking space Brighton has to offer, Projects Nile House makes a compelling case from the moment you walk in.
We recently spent a full working day there — Zoom calls, deadlines and all — and left wondering why we don’t do it more often.
Why Coworking Works Better Than a Café
Brighton has no shortage of good cafés. But there’s a point in the working day when the background noise tips from ambient to distracting, the WiFi slows down, your laptop battery dips to 12% and there’s nowhere to take a private call. You know the feeling.
Projects solves all of that — quietly, without making a fuss about it.
Projects Nile House — What to Expect
Located at Nile House on Nile Street, BN1 1HW — a short walk from Brighton Lanes and the seafront — Projects Nile House is a Grade A flexible workspace spread across several floors, each with its own character and purpose.
The views over Brighton’s rooftops alone are worth the day pass. A seagull on a chimney stack, the colourful Lanes below, the horizon beyond — it’s the kind of outlook that makes you feel good about where you work.
The Private Call Booth — A Revelation
One of the standout features for us was the private call booth. A soundproofed pod with a desk, a monitor hook and room to think — perfect for a Zoom call when you need to be heard clearly and look professional.
For anyone who regularly works remotely, this is the detail that makes the difference between a coworking space and a genuinely useful one.
The Globe — Brighton’s Most Striking Meeting Room
Projects Nile House is also home to The Globe — a spectacular circular event and meeting space with a domed ceiling, wraparound bench seating and full AV setup. It hosts workshops, talks, panels and team days. Seeing it in person is something else entirely.
Lunchtime Yoga, Then Back to Work
What we didn’t expect: a lunchtime yoga session in The Globe, open to all levels. A proper reset in the middle of the day — stretch, breathe, return to your desk clearer than when you left. Projects also has a gym available to members for £15 + VAT per month.
This is a workplace that takes the whole day seriously, not just the hours between 9 and 5.
Thursday Evenings: Jazz on the Rooftop
Here’s where the day becomes something more.
Every Thursday from 5–8pm, Projects opens its fourth-floor Rooftop Bar at Nile House. Drinks, small plates from Lost in the Lanes — which runs the onsite café — and live jazz.
We stayed. Of course we stayed.
There is something genuinely special about finishing a working day with a glass of wine in hand, watching the Brighton skyline shift from afternoon to evening while a trumpet and piano fill the room. The music was beautiful. The atmosphere unhurried. The city spread out below.
