London Affiliates/Entrepreneurs/Meetup Group

Does anyone know of any FB groups or something for London affiliates/entrepreneuers. Would be cool to get to know people for networking/office sharing etc.

Re office sharing - you need NearDesk.
Work where and when you want in co-working hubs - loads in London.
Get a card, swipe in and out, pay by the hour or day. No commitment.
Full disclosure: I own shares

I don't understand why people charge so much for desk space.

That NearDesk.com website is charging £60-£150 per day in London. That's ridiculous.

Most places I've looked charge £300/month for deskspace in terms of techhubs and London campus etc. But I can't really justify this cost once you add travel costs (£1k/yr) on top of this. That's like £4500 per year just for a desk station to work at.

It's not intended for full time, at that point you can just rent a desk or office - but it's cost effective if you do the odd day here and there. There are options on there for £25/£30 day if you look. If you want central London or a fancy office, you pay for it. That's what it costs. Whether it's right for your business or not is up to you.

For example: http://www.neardesk.com/locations/details/127

£300/month seems like a great deal for a desk in London, bite their hand off.

I like working from home but I do 1 or 2 days per week in an office because it's more productive time with fewer distractions, which is valuable.

I went to a meetup the other month set up by Deepak Taylor of Latest Free Stuff, thought it was pretty good and will be going to the next one.

Looks kind of bullshitty on first glance (i.e. I don't really believe in the whole 4 hour work week thing), but like I said the last one I went to was pretty good.
