Personal website and portfolio
Who doesn’t like to crank out some work away from home in a cafe with nice tunes, good coffee to sip on, and no excuse to doomscroll YouTube? I have found myself coming out to cafes to work from time to time (more on the weekend) and I always use Google Maps to search “cafe with laptop”, but you know that can be hit or miss. So I am collating this personal collection of cafes where I’ve worked so you don’t need to guess anymore.

It's GAIL's, so you know what you're getting pastry-wise. This one has an upstairs area...
Added Dec 22, 2025On the ground floor of the Ark Canary Wharf hotel, this cafe has high ceilings and a range of seating options. Great coffee and good food as per Another Brother quality, and the building provides super fast WiFi. The vibe is great since there are a ton of people with laptops out, all hustling as well.
Get directions →Don't be alarmed – this is a Wetherspoons pub, but the WiFi is great here. Imagine having a cheap pint with a meal, or unlimited coffee or tea in the afternoon. It's not bad at all if you're nearby and struggling to find somewhere reliable. Also, you can order from your table like any other Wetherspoons pub.
Get directions →Perfect little spot for a quick coffee and some brunch food. It gets a bit steamy in winter and busy on the weekends (a local's favourite spot), but a solid choice to get some work done.
Get directions →It's GAIL's, so you know what you're getting pastry-wise. This one has an upstairs area which is quieter with socket access. One good thing: if you're looking for a productive evening spot, they close at 6:30pm even on a Sunday!
