Opened in February 1903, Granton Railway Station was built to accommodate the commute for people working at the nearby Gas Works. Just over 120 years later, Wasps Studios (in partnership with City of Edinburgh Council) has established a brand new hub for the creative industries, nestled within the exciting Granton Waterfront regeneration project.

Granton Station features:
- 24/7 secure building access (not applicable to hot desk members)

- high-speed fibre broadband
- meeting room for hire
- dedicated co-working space for freelancers, start-ups and remote workers
