I don't use internet cafes much, but I don't have a printer, so when I need a form on paper or a…read moregold plated tennis racket, I go to this place. It's nearly across the street from my house. In the world of internet cafes, this place is Otis Redding, classy, smooth, calming. You know how internet cafes can, at times, have a nitty-gritty, ultra-urban feel? The living space has none of this. In a sunny circular upper level, computers are arranged, sitting bright in the daylight. A atrium below holds a quaint cafe with surprisingly good (and fair trade) coffee. All this pizazz might lead you to believe that Hugh Grant has decided to become a Spanish guitar player, but as far as I know that's not true. It might also lead you to believe that I am destined for greatness, to which I'd respond, "gee thanks!" Lastly, it might lead you to believe that this place is expensive. Is it? You want to know, don't you. It's not. If ever you need a cafe or the internet or the two rolled into one, this place is a great place to go. If ever you need a face-lift, I don't know what to tell you. If ever you need a comic relief, please read my upcoming novel that's waiting to be written. If ever you think I have a bizarre sense of humor, you're right.

There's plenty to explore at JW3 and it's located immediately opposite the Camden Arts Centre - always meant to go, definitely will soon.

This place is insane. Little children run around to play at the hullabaloo soft play activity…read morecentre. It's very screamy, but there's a cafe, and a post office too. It's also a church. I believe you can also hire the space out or put on your own nights, and it's such an interesting glorious space - I think it would be amazing to use it for something that didn't involve play driven toddlers. I am giving it 4 stars because although I am not in the right demographic (i.e with young kids) and the screaming isn't for me, I can see how useful and invaluable it would be to have a local cafe space that caters for kids with soft play, space for buggies, high chairs and kids specific menus.
