9 Best cafes to work from in London
London is full of wonderful cafes. Here's our top 9 cafes for getting work done based on their laptop-friendliness, coffee and atmosphere.
Benk + Bo is our top spot to work from in London. It calls itself a "free workspace" so everyone can feel welcome to show up with their laptop and spend the whole day there. They've invested in great wifi and plenty of seating space and chargers so you can work comfortably.
They serve up the best flat white in London and have a great selection of bakes and sandwiches available if you get hungry. On top of everything, it's very much a community enterprise. Benk + Bo runs community initiative such as a garden club (Tuesdays and Fridays) and a monthly book club, as well as a range of events including life-drawing and jazz nights.

Watchhouse is a growing small chain coffee brand in London. They are definitely coffee specialists so you are guaranteed an excellent cup of coffee at any of their branches. This location at St Mary Axe in the City of London is our favourite of their locations to work from.
Set over two floors, the upper floor has plenty of space to work from and very fast wifi.

Bright and friendly, OAT is a great place to spend a few hours getting some work done.
Roasting Plant is another growing small coffee chain in London which serves specialist coffee so if you know your beans they'll definitely be able to cater to your taste.
A specialist coffee shop in Farringdon with plenty of laptop-friendly seating with plugs and great wifi.
A charity-run cafe just off Brick Lane, Kahaila is a cosy spot to work from during the week. It serves up ethically-sourced coffee and a tasty selection of sweet treats!
A spot in the City with great wifi, lovely coffee and a good lunch selection for a reasonable price. Although it can get a bit noisy at lunch time as workers from the city drop by for lunch, it's a good spot for getting stuck in to some work and enjoying some great coffee.
Hoxton is a chain of hotels around London and this one in Shoreditch is particularly work-friendly. Feel free to take a seat in their lobby area where you'll find plenty of others working from laptops and taking calls, or sit in their cafe area - both are equally as laptop-friendly.
Attendant Coffee is better known as a breakfast or lunch spot but also welcomes remote workers.
