The Best South London Cafes to Work In

Whether you’re working remotely, or a student in London trying to get through your assignments, we know the frustrations that come with working from home. If you’re finding yourself battling with dodgy Wi-Fi or noisy housemates, we’ve got you covered. Getting out of the house and finding cafes to work in provides a change of scenery and often boosts productivity. As a renter in London, you’ll find an abundance of laptop friendly cafes in the city to work in for a few hours. Here are our top picks for South London cafes to work in. 

Nola

Open from 8am to 4pm, Nola is a bright and airy coffee shop with plenty of seating and charging outlets. You can sit with a coffee at the bar style window seat, or there’s plenty of tables throughout the rest of the cafe. If you get peckish, they serve an all day brunch menu and fresh pastries. With its welcoming atmosphere and delicious coffee, Nola is one of our top London cafes to work in.  (225 Rye Lane, Peckham)

Another one of our favourite London cafes to work in is F. Mondays. This quaint spot in Brixton has plenty of seating, as well as a large bench table perfect for work meetings. There’s charging outlets dotted about and a large window seat too. You’ll also find a small garden filled with benches tucked around the back of the cafe. (112a Brixton Hill, Brixton)

The Peckham Pelican 

Last but not least, we have The Peckham Pelican,  a bohemian style cafe with comfy sofa and large wooden tables.

Pret 

Although it’s not an independent coffee shop, we have to give an honourable mention to Pret. With free Wi-Fi, plenty of seating and plugs, you can spend hours in this chain coffee shop without having to worry about spending a fortune on drinks. The staff are more than happy for you to set up camp and crack on with some work. It’s made even more affordable with the addition of their Pret coffee subscription for £20 a month. We recommend the hummus and chipotle wrap, or the porridge if you’re in for breakfast.
