Tired of WFH? Here are places you can work at besides Starbucks

You’d never expect to work remotely at these places in the past

Since the Covid-19 pandemic started, working from home has become the norm for many of us. While it affords (some of) us flexibility and work-life balance, it can get monotonous.

And while we would like to have a change in working environment sometimes, observing social and safe distancing measures is something we’d have to consider. 

That said, Starbucks is not the only place you can work from and neither or co-working spaces. Here are some others you might want to check out!

Tired of WFH? Here are places you can work at besides Starbucks
National Library Building
custom

This list wouldn’t be complete without our favourite national libraries. With over 31 libraries located islandwide, the national library has proven to be an excellent space for you to not only borrow and browse from an extensive collection of books, but it’s also a great space for both students and office-goers to work at. There are loads of seating and studying areas for you to choose from, you’ll never have to worry about not finding a seat.

On top of that, places like the National Library Building at Victoria Street houses the Lee Kong Chian Reference Library that’s open for reference services and enquiries. On Level 10, you’ll also find exhibition areas as well as a news gallery on Level 11, where you can find some respite or even a quick pick-me-up.

But before you make your way down to the nearest library in your neighbourhood, we recommend checking on the crowd levels online on the National Library website, so you can plan out which outlet to visit.

Address: Multiple locations in Singapore including Bedok, Bishan, Esplanade, Woodlands and more. To view the full list, check out their website here.
