I'm spending January in London for work. But my Fridays are free for random work, meetings and hopefully a bit of Friday School. So today, on Stef's recommendation, I tried out Google Campus and met with Andy Bull, author of Multimedia Journalism to chat about brand journalism training.
My one line review of the free basement cafe of Google Campus as a coworking space is: busy Shoreditch hipsterish beardy semi-friendly MacBook hangout with good coffee, lack of food (only two ham croissants left at noon) and superfast wifi but crap phone reception.
Here are a few pics…

Free membership card (for basement cafe only):
Inauspicious, unbranded exterior at the back of Shoreditch/Old St:
Next up: any suggestions?
Glad you enjoyed Google Campus. We'd love for you to come visit Innovation Warehouse London. We have a mix of hot-desking, co-working, a startup incubator and an accelerator process with angel investing. You can check out http://www.innovationwarehouse.org or email us and drop by the space in Farringdon.
