Looking for a very sunny bar/pub/caf? in ED

[missbl]

Hi everyone,

Would you know a nice place to work on my computer. I especially like very sunny places, like a cafe with bow Windows or glass good..

Thank you for your help !

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?

If you're not in a position to buy coffees, food etc you might prefer upstairs at the library.

Not my favourite place, but The Plough has a conservatory.

The Dulwich Pircture Gallery cafe however not sure they have wIFI

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

[DulwichFox]

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..

[Mrs2013]

do you rather have people gossiping around a coffee?

As long as there is no space shortage there should be no limit on a restaurant/cafe's table availability to a paying customer.

People have of course to be reasonable.

[DulwichFox]

Fancy a Coffee..

yes very typical of Starbucks :))

[JohnL]

Looks like a University library

It's Starbucks in the Bishan Community Club, Singapore. Mr Fox will be able to provide more details.

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.

[Jeremy]

Yep, I think it's absolutely fine as long as you're considerate... buy food/drink, don't take too much space, etc.

[Jakido]

The conservatory in the cinema is always empty

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!

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.

Thank you for all the good tips and the nice reactions.

To clarify things, I don't own a business on-line, it was indeed a misunderstanding because English is not my first language. And I would also be interested in a nice log fire actually :)

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..
