Outdoor office: A quiet corner of St James' park in London was turned into an outdoor office last week by tourism and visitor promotion organisation, Visit London.
The outdoor office was free to use and came complete with desks, chairs, coat stands, a water cooler and of course lashings of free wi-fi. Desk space could be booked for two hours at a time - and there was also a boardroom and 'creative zone' up for grabs where office workers could indulge in a little 'blue sky thinking'.
silicon.com reporters Natasha Lomas and Tim Ferguson went down to the park for two hours to see how much work they could get done away from the office.
Here Tim is pictured hard at work on an article, while trying to ignore two curious tourists - and the noise coming from Buckingham Palace - in the background.

Sad! Get a life!

Did they have a diesel generator chugging away in the background to power that desk fan, I wonder? So why was there no power for laptops?
