If you have to work here, you’ll be fine. The coffee is good, the Wi-Fi is fast, and you have a direct view of the canal to watch ducks fight over breadcrumbs. But if you’re visiting? Do it for the sheer absurdity. Take a photo outside and pretend you’re a tech CEO on your lunch break. Walk the towpath and make up stories about the people behind the glass.
Just don’t expect a crown. 2 Kingdom Street is a kingdom of cubicles, ruled by the monarch of Microsoft Outlook. But hey, it’s got a canal, a floating restaurant, and a bear nearby. For a Tuesday afternoon in London, that’s practically magical.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to see if the canteen has any marmalade sandwiches.
