Default London trading premises

I'm on the lookout for somewhere to trade, which isn't an arcade. The going rate for arcades seems to be about £1,600-£1,800 a month once you add it all up, but my style of trading is more medium term and low frequency.. i.e., if I have a laptop and internet I'm good.

Anyone else out there operate an office for traders (not an arcade)?

if your needs are so minimal, out of interest why are you desperate to pay for an office? What are you expecting to gain from this?

I would have thought that a dongle for your laptop and a starbucks would be enough then.

I take my laptop to the library in the city. Nice and quiet.

I would think it would be to get away from the solitude of trading.

A shared office space for non arcade traders would be quite hard to keep running. Which is why we dont see many/any around.

meanreversion started this thread I'm trading out of an arcade at the moment, however it's pricey. The benefits are it's a proper dealing room, it's sociable and a proper working environment. The downside is the cost.. looking for something a bit cheaper, wondered if there was anything else out there that might fit the bill.
