The Global CircleJuly 2025 I studied at Gecko Coffeehouse in Shoreditch all the time. The downstairs is for people on their computers and it’s nice and quiet, I have ordered a coffee or pastries or food and stayed all day (from 9am to 5pm) with no rush.
r/londonSeptember 2026 it has been a laptop-tolerant standby for a decade ... the back of the room is a barista training space and gets closed off for courses

London x LondonSeptember 2026 Vagabond N7's laid-back atmosphere, featuring reclaimed materials and a cosy garden area, makes it a perfect environment for focused work
The Global CircleJuly 2025 This is the Grind - London Bridge cafe.
It's super spacious, and it has power plugs and free wifi. It's a great place to get some work done as it's not so crowded.

Miss TouristJuly 2026 consistently one of the more laptop-tolerant rooms in south London ... Go on a weekday and you will more or less have it.
