#Remote working #Digital nomad #Productivity  #Best cafes to work from London

The best part of being a digital nomad is the freedom to work from anywhere you like and whichever place you feel is the most productive

It’s great to cafe hop and we do our best work from our favourite spots around the city. And whilst there are thousands of cafes and coffee shops in London, not all of them are ideal for remote working. So to save you time, here are 16 of our favourites. 

Best cafes to work from London

1. One Hundred Shoreditch

In the middle of Shoreditch, it’s a hotel with a great communal work table on the ground floor. The coffee is good and the WiFi is good, and even with so many others working remotely, it doesn’t get too noisy. But it does get busy, so go early to get a good spot.

2. Allpress Espresso Roastery

Lovely cafe in Dalston with indoor and outdoor seating, serving a mean flat white and room for plenty of remote workers.

3. Fwd Coffee

Small but cosy coffee shop round the corner from Brick Lane and with nice window seats to settle into with your laptop.

4. Gail’s

A popular chain cafe all over London with great savoury and sweet baked goods and plenty of tables and plugs. Shout out for the chocolate almond croissant. Sign up to their loyalty card and download their app for your first coffee, free.

5. Pophams

Some of the best pastries in the capital and a great indoor and outdoor workspace for you and your laptop. We love the London Fields branch.

6. Forno

Another popular spot competing for the best baked goods in town and right by gorgeous Regents Canal when you take a stroll after a long day on PowerPoint. It gets busy, so get there early.

14. Seabird

When it comes to the best cafes to work from London, this is a real hidden gem. Though it’s not a cafe but a rooftop restaurant, at The Hoxton near Southbank. It’s gloriously empty early in the morning and offers coffee with a view whilst typing away.

15. Dusty Knuckle

Delectable pastries, coffee and plenty of table space outside for when working Al Fresco. It’s very trendy and very popular. and you should go early as it shuts by 3pm!

16. Wetherspoons

But that’s a pub! Yes it is, but it opens from 8am and serves unlimited tea and coffee for less than £2 and has plenty of cosy tables to get settled at. Let’s face it, cafe hopping is fab but it gets expensive! This is a great option for those on a budget or who want to cut back.
