Despite the off-putting thread title, you will find some ideas in this "Laptop Squatters" thread from last year: http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,1563597,page=1


There are some comments in it that are unwelcoming to the kind of nomadic enterprise you enjoy. Assuming you're a considerate paying customer in a place that welcomes your business, don't let the thread deter you! Keep us updated on where's best?

Is this for real or a p*** take?

Any space is only sunny when the Sun shines..


A cafe with bow Windows ? Just for you to sit in.. and use their Wi-fi.


Do you require BYOF Bring your own Food ? Perhaps a nice log fire for when it turns a bit chilly.


This has to be a wind up..

So.. if you owned a Cafe paying ?1,000 + a week rent + rates .. gas.. electric.. (heating / Lighting) staff.. insurance..

you would welcome someone sitting in a prime location using your space as an office..

The op is looking for somewhere to "work on her computer" not "use as an office". I would have no problem with it as a cafe owner so long as the person with the laptop made some purchases and didn't block the table at a busy time. I know it's a long-running theme on the EDF about wifi workers taking advantage, but how unfriendly is it to dismiss this entirely reasonable question in the way you and Dog Duck have? Incredibly rude, prejudiced, unwelcoming and off putting! A simple search of the op's username reveals that English is not her first language.

I'd far sooner share a table with someone working on a laptop than with someone having a long Dom Joly type "I'm in the caf?" conversation on their mobile!

Note that bottom right has his bare foot on the chair.

The actual article is http://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/manpower/how-to-solve-the-perennial-problem-of-seat-hogging. I expect DF probably googled something like "hogging seats in cafes" and lighted just on the image. There are several articles available, though none of them specific to ED.


I'm sorry the OP's question hasn't always been respected and that the thread has been diverted, and for my own part in colluding with that. I think I was drawn in just by my dislike of having the illustration forced on me. I may even have believed at the time that this was already in the Lounge. Enough.

Well the EDT has 2 open fires..(during the winter) It is not a Cafe (Its a Pub)but sells Tea and Coffee.

Also lime and soda for Free 60p for added cordial..

Food also available.

Has a large window but cannot guarantee sunshine..

Has free Wi-Fi.

Plenty of space during the day..

    • Hi, oglander , Congratulations on your soon-to-arrive little lion - how exciting! It's always lovely to hear someone taking the adoption route (shelters are having a major crisis at the moment!). I've been in business for 15 years & can say with certainty that most cat owners in Dulwich have catflaps so, not only are they easy to have installed, but you shouldn't find yourself short of helping hands on these local forums. A catflap is a brilliant way to keep your little lion safely in overnight as well as generally keeping track of their comings & goings. I'd be happy to walk you through the set up once you've chosen your model (SureFlap & PetSafe are two popular brands). I'm sure the rescue has already advised, but just in case they haven't, it'll be very important to keep your newly adopted cat housebound for the first 2 weeks to familiarise themselves with their new home. Once they've scent-mapped the house, you can gradually begin letting them out to explore & scent-map the garden. Exciting times! x
    • Hello all,  If your child goes to this gym club: since the new payment system, have you received clear information about the cost per session, the cost per term and when sessions will be omitted eg for school opened days? (I have asked the club, more than once, no full response so far) This term started in late August, before school had gone back (did many attend that session?). Next term there is no break for half term, so there are 12 sessions to be paid. Does that seem to be more sessions than there used to be?    I am sure they are doing their best, but the info from the new auto pay system isn’t detailed enough, and the auto pay just takes an unspecified amount. I wondered if it’s just me (wanting more detail), or if there are others too? (my child loves the gym itself!) thanks 
    • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent service! We had one of Paul Edgley’ s team come to fit some new lights in our living room. They were able to come at reasonably short notice, arrived on time, were friendly and professional, and did a great job. Everything was left clean and tidy afterwards, and the lights look fantastic. Highly recommend! Paul’s contact details are 07802 627967
