Drop-in Richmond, Richmond

Drop-in Richmond is a neighbourhood work club and coffee house spread over three floors at 50 George Street in the heart of Richmond, built for people who want a proper place to get their head down close to home without a contract or a fixed desk.

The club has 48 plug-and-play workstations with free-to-use monitors and Humanscale ergonomic chairs, ten soundproof phone booths with their own light and airflow controls, a private four-seat meeting room with a big TV screen, and a thinking room for quiet focus. Barista-made flat whites from Triple Co Roast beans are brought to your desk through the day, the Wi-Fi runs at 1GB down and 200MB up with a working plug at every seat, and well-behaved dogs are welcome. Members tap in and out with the Drop-in app, so there is no desk reservation, and use is by the hour through monthly Club, Pro, and Unlimited memberships or a day pass, with no contract and cancellation at any time. A programme of local events, including a breakfast club and a walk club, runs through the year, and the club is rated 4.7 from 142 Google reviews.

Richmond station is a short walk away with District line, London Overground, and National Rail services, and the club is open on weekends as well as weekdays, which is unusual for a neighbourhood workspace. The shops, cafes, and riverside walks of Richmond town centre are all close by for lunch and after work.
