I need somewhere to go & study for the day....

[Fidgetsmum]

Any recommendations on where I could go with a laptop and a folder to study today? Need to get out of the house as even though husband is looking after kids, it's hard to concentrate when I hear them downstairs. I've tried having earphones in etc, but it's hard to stop a 2 and 5 year old from wandering upstairs if they're upset (my husband does try!)

Just need to get out, concentrate, get it done and not be so stressed with it all.

Any recommendations? Would likely need a plugpoint as battery won't last the day.

Ditto but take earplugs too.

For study / research and a bit of a trip I go to Barbican sometimes, loads of places to sit and get on with stuff. Take headphones if you are worried about background noise.

If public areas are busy, sometimes I go to one of the cinema foyers (just after the film has started, so it's empty and silent).

Royal festival hall is quite good for that too. Free wifi like the Barbican. If you are a member you can use the members space on the 6th floor or wherever it is.

Doh. Stay at home, and get the kids taken out for the day.

So many people seem to work in coffee shops and pubs (shocking :))

Not sure how long people actually stay - longer than you'd think.
