Restoring No.20, Room by Room

Every space at No.20 is being carefully refurbished — from elegant meeting rooms and flexible workspaces to character-rich lounges. As a not-for-profit, the work is funded entirely by membership: each subscription reinvested directly into the fabric of the building.

It is slow, considered work, and deliberately so. The aim is not simply to modernise No.20, but to secure its future — and to give Bristol's business community a home it can be proud of.
