On the upper first floor is an excellent cafe to work in, the environment is quiet, the coffee is acceptable. A favorite.

Lovely pub in a former hotel with intriguing decor and a decent jukebox. Somewhat suspect food. Ask at the bar for the wifi key.

Hideout of the Hoxton Hip. Burgers are nice in this cavernously trendy spot. Watch out for the bar staff's dangerously skinny jean cut offs.

Depends if you work better before or after several pints of strong belgian beer.

The coffee and food are excellent and I enjoy the atmosphere.

There are plugs along the far wall and just in front of the stage, although you might have to politely ask if someone would mind unplugging for a while so you can get some juice.

They sometimes have live jazz on in the evenings, so you might want to keep an eye on the website unless you enjoy working with live music in the background.
