I visited with a friend that works in social media. Location is a little strange and unwelcoming. You are required to register before being allowed to enter the building, the process is pretty easy via the Campus London web site, however no computers or terminals are there to do the process so you need to do it via a mobile device. Once that is done and you get your card, you then get free access to the cafe. Cafe is a little disappointing, little food on offer, the tea and coffee is passable, also this is the first google campus that I know of where you have to purchase food and drink. They do accept droplet pay if you forget cash, but google wallet is not accepted (what?) and a minimum charge of £5 is required to use a credit/debit card. Atmosphere wasn't one I found easy for people to mingle, all a little clinical, all the space it taken up entirely by tables. Internet is fast, I managed to upload several gigabytes of images from my trip to London within minutes.
I guess it is down to who is there too. I recognised a few familiar faces from Mozilla and King. read more
