Read the other day that flash young entrepreneurs are clogging up the cafes and hotel lobbies of the capital, sparking up their laptops and doing business on the fly.

Known as Moofers - "mobile-out-of-office-workers" - the problem comes when they're looking for a bit of privacy to nail down that big deal.

If they've got the cash their search may be over. A bunch of rock stars (including Nick Mason and Phil Collins) are pumping money into One Alfred Place, a flash members-club-***-office.

Rob Shreeve, the brains behind the project, talks about it here.

It all looks jolly nice and so it should be at £1500 for the year!

Personally I'm quite happy with Cafe Nero :-)

Hopefully I'm not that flash and regretfully I'm not that young but I use Adam Street for the same reasons - privacy, nice environment. Didn't realise I was a 'moofer'.Moofers may be the future.

A nice environment is key yes! I gather that Hospital Club is pretty cool too in Covent Garden?

One of my clients likes the Hospital a lot and it's huge - really good service too.

If you go into any 'achingly hip' bar or cafe in Shoreditch it's like a macbook pro party. Although I'm sure they're all just updating their myspace pages and calling it work. In fact, Hoxton Square is going to be the first place in East London to have a cloud, so the gardens become an extension of the local workers office. Quite how that would translate to Hammersmith I'm not sure. Hammersmith Broadway isn't exactly work-friendly.
