In the historic Cutty Sark pub in Greenwich, south-east London, the cat Mahela purrs and curls up by the bar, a coffee machine hisses and a cluster of heads are studiously bowed over laptops beneath the hull of a 19th-century paddle steamer.
At the bar, education copywriter Jen, who’s worked from this pub on the banks of the Thames a few days a month since parent brewery Young’s brought in its £15 Work from Pub (WFP) packages in 2020, chats with the staff. “It definitely beats the water cooler,” she says.
