Our location

Thread Works

As the Thread Works cluster borders both Portland Street and Oxford Street, when it comes to leisure and culture you’re spoiled for choice. For a spot of lunch why not take a trip to Federal on Oxford Road, or see what treats Chinatown has to offer? St Peter’s Square is around the corner, along with the City Art Gallery, the Town Hall and the Central Library. Among the suntraps of these stunning neoclassical buildings, you’ll find your fair share of restaurants, bars, photographers and instagram influencers - even the odd film crew! The area is abundant with tram and bus links as part of the Bee Network, and train stations a short stroll away.
