Why not ?? Better to be home than use someone's else's energy just a thought

 

Really? This is a very simplistic and totally unhelpful comment.

Take your pick of potential reasons why I could not work from home:

- major building work means no power for the day

- replacement wifi means no internet access that day

- need to be within 10min of walking distance to King Sports Ground for 6 hours

- pest fumigation needed at the house for the day

- removal people packing up the house

- fear of alien abduction as forecasted in the doomsday book for anyone living at this house number...

Ps: one of them is the real one but most are perfectly reasonable!

you forgot some more

- cheaper to use other people's internet

- save on your electricity

- don't want to be in for some reason (who knows)

you can take your pick and maybe one of them is spot on

or if its for work just take a day off ... just saying

seriously, do you have nothing better to contribute?

just to close this post off:

nope, none of the ones you listed were correct.

I was looking for a proper co-working location where you exchange money for the ability to use wifi & electricity.

I used those frequently pre-pandemic.

There seem to be none in the location I needed to be in.

So instead I spend money on delicious food & coffee in a number of places.

Would it have been cheaper to stay at home? Yes - so you can get off the insinuation I am trying to use someone else's electricity for free.

Could I have taken the day off? Sure, but I am not in the habit to let customers down, so work needed to be done.

I'll give you a more sensible answer as I've searched for the same thing (but around ED/Peckham and not Brockley/HoP)


Most proper co-workspaces will charge you £50+ a month upwards for a hotdesk and more for a fixed one. There isn't anywhere local which does a 'free' model as far as I'm aware.


Obviously not your requested area, but there Market Peckham which does a trial for £40.

Or maybe ask some local co-workspaces if you can have a free trial day as it sounds like you want to do this for a one-off.


Otherwise, you'd probably have to look for a cafe which opens early. Most cafes are fine with people working there as long as you keep the coffees coming!

Pubs are another option but most of them open at 12pm, so not useful for mornings.

Thank you, Joe.

Yes I did find the various places that offer monthly desks -its not quite what I needed.

I was hoping for places that allow use on a single day (paid!) basis -e.g further in town you can use the likes of HubbleHQ and Andco to book a day pass but nothing came up on Google. I just thought maybe someone local knew of a gem that I had missed!

    • It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️
    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
