London is one of the most famous cities in the world, and it’s also a hub for finance and business. Businesses, entrepreneurs and workers will always be drawn to London and that hasn’t changed in the work-from-home era. What has changed though is London’s lively coworking scene which has emerged as one of the best in Europe in recent years. In this blog post, we explore if London is a good city for remote workers and the different remote working locations London has to offer.
Coworking Spaces
In recent years, there has been a boom in the number of coworking spaces, possibly as a result of officing temporarily shutting down during COVID-19. As a city full of young professionals, London is one of the best options for those who want to work in vibrant spaces full of like-minded individuals.
With over 1400 coworking spaces to choose from, it’s fair to say there is a space for every budget. Private members’ clubs are a great option if your budget allows as they provide fantastic facilities and peaceful environments. This can be a great place to meet high-net-worth individuals like investors, which may be extremely beneficial to small business founders seeking investment.
If you don’t have the luxury of being able to afford such spaces, don’t worry, as there are also some great free coworking spots in London which will still offer a fantastic working environment. You’ll even find female-only coworking spaces such as The Hearth in Queen’s Park.
Cafes
While London is home to an abundance of well-known cafe chains, London’s independent coffee shops are where the city’s cafe scene comes into its own. Whether you’re looking for authentic Colombian coffee or you are more interested in the food that comes with it, you have a whole host of options if you are looking for a cafe to work from.
You also have the luxury of being able to scope out cafes with a view of the perfect working location, whether it be high up overlooking the city or looking out over the famous River Thames. You may want to focus your search outside of the city centre to benefit from slightly cheaper prices and a more peaceful environment.
We’re also aware that getting that perfect shot for a captivating Insta story is important to the younger generation; you have to check out Peggy Porschen and its iconic pink decor if you want to work from a cafe that impresses your followers.
Pubs
For the ultimate British experience, you also have the option of taking your laptop to a good old-fashioned pub. You’ll find this is a less popular option with young professionals which may actually help if you are someone who’s easily distracted by the temptation to chat with fellow workers.
With that said, there’ll be plenty of locals who’ll be able to enlighten you about the area on your lunch break. Speaking of lunch, most London pubs will serve up English classics such as Fish & Chips to fuel your busy day.
This can be a great way to get an authentic taste of London, which is great if you are visiting from another country. Frequenting your nearest pub (or your ‘local’ as natives would say) is also a great way to immerse yourself in the local community. British pubs are about far more than the food & drink they serve.
Parks
The UK isn’t blessed with too many days of sunshine, but when the sun does come out, Brits certainly like to make the most of it. Throughout British summertime, you’ll find green spaces packed with students and workers taking their laptops to the park to enjoy a day in the sun whilst working.
Finding a quiet spot to set up camp in a London park is a great way to enjoy a tranquil environment without distractions. London is also generally considered a safe city, officially the 14th safest city in the world, so you shouldn’t experience any issues spending the day working from one of London’s iconic parks.
The most famous London park is Hyde Park which is located in Westminster. Other options include St. James’s Park and Regent’s Park although it’s definitely worth checking out any local options close to wherever you are based.
All in all, London provides a fantastic range of working locations for remote workers. On top of this, London’s phenomenal transport links mean you don’t have to worry about getting around either. There’s also a range of city centre car parks for those who find themselves travelling into the city for a day or two which you can utilise before jumping on London’s reliable public transport network to access the remote working locations outlined above. The best location for you will likely depend on your personality as well as your budget. Let us know if you have any recommendations when it comes to London’s remote working spots.
