Granary Wharf to Leeds Dock in 12 minutes. The iconic Water Taxis are back!

We brought Leeds’ iconic Water Taxi back, so getting to Department at Leeds Dock is as easy as it is scenic. No traffic, no stress, just the river.

Work should feel better. So should the journey there.

Some spaces just feel right.

At Department at Leeds Dock, every detail is considered. The materials, the light, the finishing touches that most people won’t notice but everyone will feel. A former casino turned into somewhere you actually want to spend your working week.

Good coffee is just the start.

The best teams aren’t built in back-to-back meetings.

They’re built in the in-between moments. The coffee catch-ups, the honest conversations, the space to actually think.

We’re proud of the team we’ve built at Department. They show up, they care, and it shows in everything we do.

Here’s five things we’ve learned along the way.

1. Hire for attitude. The right person in the room changes everything. Skills can be taught. Character can’t.

2. Celebrate the team, not just the top performer. Culture is built in the moments people feel seen.

3. Give people real ownership. When someone genuinely owns something, they show up differently.

4. Make feedback normal. Not a quarterly sit-down. Not a big deal. Just an honest conversation.

5. Protect thinking time. The best work doesn’t happen when everyone’s at capacity. Space to think is part of the job.

Introducing The Green.

St. John's just got a little bit better. There's a brand new outdoor space right on the doorstep of our spaces and honestly, we couldn't be more excited about it. Think long team lunches in the sun, after work drinks and a giant screen on Versa Studios that you need to see for yourself.

For Department members, it's the perfect spot to get your team together this summer. And if you want it all to yourself? It's available to hire exclusively for launches, activations and socials too.

Come celebrate with us tonight. The Green opens at 5pm and we would love to see you there.

Work isn’t just what you do, it’s how it feels while you’re doing it.

The right environment changes more than your output, it changes your energy, your mindset, and the people you build alongside.
