Work Overseas (London?

Starbucks shop in London to be able to Concentrate on my work with my laptop PC?

• There are tons of Starbucks (even more than New York I think...) shops in London. I have been to some of them in London not just to have a cup of coffee, but also work with my laptop PC. But I found there were very few shops I could possibly concentrate on my work with my laptop PC because people are walking by my side all the time and I felt like people were looking at me... So I couldn't really concentrate on my work... :( Now, I have a question. Which store would be the best Starbucks store in central London where is quiet and people with laptop PC can really concentrate on his/her work without being stared at by other people? Could you let me know one or two stores you know of?

• Answer:

  Generally, I think you'd be better off sitting as far as possible away from the door, counter, toilets, etc - this would reduce the number of people passing you. If you sat at the back of the store facing into the store, nobody would be able to see your work and you shouldn't have many people passing you. I went into a nice one on Piccadilly, which was very long and narrow, so the back of the seating area was quite a long way from the entrance and the counter. Unfortunately, there are probably like 10 Starbucks on Piccadilly, and I can't remember whereabouts that one was. It *may* have been just west of Piccadilly Circus.
