9 Cool Spaces For Your Next WFH Day
FOR LIVING ROOM VIBES:
Cremer
A Hoxton favourite, Cremer is designed to feel more like a stylish living room than a traditional café – there's a mix of communal tables and relaxed seating, plus a garden for warmer days. The menu is another reason to linger, with freshly baked pastries including pain au chocolat, pain aux raisins and cardamom buns, alongside seasonal breakfast and lunch dishes, sandwiches and homemade sweet treats. There's plenty of room to settle in, although it's worth bearing in mind that this popular newcomer can get busy during peak hours.

FOR GREAT COFFEE:
Workshop Coffee
Workshop Coffee’s Belgravia café is light-filled and characterful, with a considered interior designed to accommodate both quick visits and longer stays. The coffee is the main draw, with seasonal single-origin beans, a house espresso and rotating filter options brewed to order. There's also a seasonal menu spanning breakfast and lunch, while the dedicated training academy downstairs hosts coffee masterclasses, tastings and professional sessions. Make it your first stop of the day, order something to sip while you work and, if you find a roast you love, pick up a bag to recreate the experience at home.

FOR SHORTER STINTS:
Fig House
East Londoners should have this bright Dalston spot on their radar. Fig House is a welcoming neighbourhood café with an extensive breakfast and brunch menu that makes it particularly tempting if you're planning to combine a little work with a leisurely lunch. On offer is everything from generous Anatolian breakfast spreads and Turkish eggs to pancakes, French toast and more substantial savoury plates. There are also coffees, matcha, smoothies and fresh juices to keep you fuelled. It's more of a relaxed brunch destination than a dedicated co-working space, so it's best suited to a shorter stint with your laptop rather than a full day at your desk.

For Delicious Eats:
Gecko Coffeehouse
A great option for plant-based eaters, Gecko Coffeehouse is a fully vegan café with a cosy downstairs area specifically suited to remote workers and students. There's Wi-Fi, plug sockets and laptop-friendly signage, making it one of the more practical options on this list if you need to get your head down for a few hours. The menu is worth exploring too, with high-protein pancakes, blueberry matcha pancakes, avocado and sage sourdough, portobello tacos and a hearty vegan breakfast featuring harissa potatoes and plant-based sausages all on offer. There's also a strong coffee offering, alongside matcha and iced drinks.

FOR OUT-OF-HOURS:
Corgi Cafe
Not everyone works a traditional nine-to-five, and Corgi Cafe is particularly useful if your schedule doesn't fit the usual office hours. Open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, this Shoreditch spot is designed with remote workers, founders and entrepreneurs in mind. With Wi-Fi, power outlets and plenty of people working away on their laptops, it's as much an informal co-working space as it is a coffee shop. Regular community events also offer opportunities to meet like-minded people. The menu covers all the coffee classics, alongside iced drinks, matcha, chai and smoothies. Look out for the pistachio cream iced latte, while pastries, sausage rolls and lighter bites are on hand when you need something to eat.

FOR STYLISH INTERIORS:
EVE
If you're going to venture out, you might as well choose somewhere that makes the effort worthwhile. Part of the Ember Locke hotel in Kensington, EVE has beautifully considered interiors and a relaxed atmosphere that makes it an appealing alternative to your usual desk. The café serves coffee, freshly baked pastries, cakes and breakfast options, with a limited number of seats available for co-working. Once you've finished for the day, the adjoining restaurant serves New York-style pizzas, alongside signature starters and sides.

FOR A CENTRAL LOCATION:
Cafebotanical
Whether you're after a coffee and pastry or something more substantial, Cafebotanical is a useful central London spot to have up your sleeve. Located on High Holborn, this café and gin lounge serves coffee alongside a menu of light bites and sharing dishes. There are plenty of options if you're stopping in for lunch, including mozzarella focaccia, grilled cheese toasties, ciabatta sandwiches, arancini and olives. Homemade cakes make a good accompaniment to an afternoon coffee too.

For Proper Breaks:
Café Hebe
Tucked away on Kingsland Road in Haggerston, Café Hebe is a neighbourhood café with a creative feel, housed within Playhouse East. Its sandwich offering is a particular highlight, with the chicken parm a firm favourite, alongside seasonal specials and freshly prepared wraps. It's also worth stopping by for a coffee and something sweet, with the relaxed interiors and collection of books giving you a reason to take a proper break from your screen. Better suited to a casual working session than a full day at your laptop, it's a good one to have up your sleeve if you're in the area.
