Calling capital freelancers: Are these London’s top ten Wi-Fi haunts?

Exploring the capital’s coffee culture has become somewhat habitual for London freelancers and remote workers.

Operating in an age where flexible working in a public environment is fast-becoming as common as sitting behind an office desk, being comfortable in one’s surroundings can often be the key to a successful and productive working day.

In fact, recent research in The New Scientist suggests that a positive correlation exists between working in a public environment and an increase in productivity.

To aid London-based remote workers, office supplier Staples has created an interactive map showing some of the best alternatives to London’s usual Wi-Fi haunts like Starbucks and McDonalds.

The map includes information like opening times, the kind of atmosphere and any extra features the location provides, such as free sockets for laptops or meeting rooms.

Top ten hotspots

The map is aimed at freelancers and other independent workers who struggle to find a location that meets their working requirements.

The ten hotspots which made up the list are as follows:

1. The British Library

2. V&A National Art Library

3. Raw Press

4. Timberyard

5. Hoxton Holborn

6. Royal Festival Hall

7. Look Mum No Hands

8. The Barbican Centre

9. Google Campus

10. Sonos Studio
