If you happen to be in London or New York, and looking for a good place to settle down and work for a while, this Web app should help you do just that.
Let’s Meet and Workis the brainchild ofAlasdair Monk, a user interface designer and app developer. So how does it work?
Well, people based in London or New York complete arecommendation form(a Google Spreadsheet), which asks for the name of the venue, its address, website, description and whether it has WiFi. You then hit ‘submit’, and Monk checks it out and decides whether it should be plugged on the map:
Calling all Scaleup founders! Join the Soonicorn Summit on November 28 in Amsterdam.
Meet with the leaders of Picnic, Miro, Carbon Equity and more during this exclusive event dedicated to Scaleup Founders!
For example, the British Library is included on the London map, and it has the following description when you hover over the pin:
“Free wifi, cool communal desks and desk-chairs with individual power sockets. Awesome surroundings, naturally. Get there early (9.30) to be sure of a good spot.”
Other recommendations include coffee shops, bookstores, museums, galleries and more.
The app was launched initially for London only, butNew Yorkwas subsequently added, and whilst it doesn’t have as manyrecommendationsas London at the time of writing, it seems to be growing pretty quickly.
You can also follow Let’s Meet and Work onTwitter, where it’s currently “Tweeting nice spots in London & New York to grab a seat and do a bit of work.”
