Why not ?? Better to be home than use someone's else's energy just a thought

 

Really? This is a very simplistic and totally unhelpful comment.

Take your pick of potential reasons why I could not work from home:

- major building work means no power for the day

- replacement wifi means no internet access that day

- need to be within 10min of walking distance to King Sports Ground for 6 hours

- pest fumigation needed at the house for the day

- removal people packing up the house

- fear of alien abduction as forecasted in the doomsday book for anyone living at this house number...

Ps: one of them is the real one but most are perfectly reasonable!

you forgot some more

- cheaper to use other people's internet

- save on your electricity

- don't want to be in for some reason (who knows)

you can take your pick and maybe one of them is spot on

or if its for work just take a day off ... just saying

seriously, do you have nothing better to contribute?

just to close this post off:

nope, none of the ones you listed were correct.

I was looking for a proper co-working location where you exchange money for the ability to use wifi & electricity.

I used those frequently pre-pandemic.

There seem to be none in the location I needed to be in.

So instead I spend money on delicious food & coffee in a number of places.

Would it have been cheaper to stay at home? Yes - so you can get off the insinuation I am trying to use someone else's electricity for free.

Could I have taken the day off? Sure, but I am not in the habit to let customers down, so work needed to be done.

I'll give you a more sensible answer as I've searched for the same thing (but around ED/Peckham and not Brockley/HoP)


Most proper co-workspaces will charge you £50+ a month upwards for a hotdesk and more for a fixed one. There isn't anywhere local which does a 'free' model as far as I'm aware.


Obviously not your requested area, but there Market Peckham which does a trial for £40.

Or maybe ask some local co-workspaces if you can have a free trial day as it sounds like you want to do this for a one-off.


Otherwise, you'd probably have to look for a cafe which opens early. Most cafes are fine with people working there as long as you keep the coffees coming!

Pubs are another option but most of them open at 12pm, so not useful for mornings.

Thank you, Joe.

Yes I did find the various places that offer monthly desks -its not quite what I needed.

I was hoping for places that allow use on a single day (paid!) basis -e.g further in town you can use the likes of HubbleHQ and Andco to book a day pass but nothing came up on Google. I just thought maybe someone local knew of a gem that I had missed!

    • > understand that you cannot process Lloyds Bank cheques through LLane.

    • It wasn't a rumour, the salon had closed when I posted here. Regarding the Post Office, as I said go and ask them.
    • My annoyance Is with the fact that the gym is being closed for 5 weeks for refurbishment but we dont have an option to freeze our membership if the only facility we use is the gym. Apparently Peckham gym is closed at the same time for refurbishment which I think is pretty stupid. Therefore the nearest gym for all the members from ED leisure centre and Peckham leisurecentre is the one in Camberwell . I lament the everyone active days..at least I could attend gyms near to work and outside Southwark
