Drop-in

You walk into Drop-in on George Street and immediately clock that someone's actually thought about the space. It's the kind of place where you don't feel like you're in a glorified shed with a desk shoved in the corner—there's proper lighting, decent furniture, and the sort of atmosphere that makes you want to actually get work done. Whether you're freelancing, meeting a client, or just need somewhere that isn't your kitchen table, it works. The coffee situation is a genuine bonus; they're not serving that burnt stuff you'd expect from a corporate setup. Richmond's got that rare London quality of being accessible but not heaving, and Drop-in slots nicely into the neighbourhood's growing roster of places where actual humans work.
