Hi all,
Firstly thanks for the awesome responses to my question! I haven't logged in for the longest time as I've been super busy!
I've had a look around and visited a few that I thought were in my price range, close to home, and on the same level as me. A lot of the co-working spots I seen were really excellent and had meeting room spaces, desks, etc, but the cost was much higher for something I really wouldn't use as I can meet clients in a cafe. Another factor I had to think about was I usually have at least two coffees and sometimes I'll splurge and have a bite to eat, these start to add up over the course of a month. As I'm out 2 times a week, 4 coffees and one meal would add up to about £80-100 per month (coffee at £2.50 and breakfast/lunch about £10). I've decided to join the nice guys over at Ben at Work. It works for me and will be signing up as soon as I wrap up my latest contract (hoping in the next few weeks). The 30% discount on their food, drinks was a no-brainer for me. I now will save 30% for everything I eat, which basically means the £24 per month when added to the food I'll have will actually save me money.
The down-sides are that as it's a cafe, there are the occasional babies or loud people. This might be an issue if I'm on the phone. I won't have access to a meeting room, but as mentioned this isn't an issue. All in all it's not too bad and if I don't like it, I can cancel my membership as it's a rolling contract. I didn't want to sign up to some sort of contract.
Anyways, I hope this post can help a few people who might have wondered what I chose in the end.
All the best!
