O3, queensbridge street, southbank
/O3 is a cafe - more specifically a co-working space - but not as you might expect.
Along Queensbridge Street, you will find an open roller door with some little tables and coffee station. Order some delicious pastries, great coffee or go for a special strawberry macha. Take 5 more steps and you’ll notice that the rest of the converted warehouse is transformed into a Hogwarts library, complete with tree house and Weasley car!
Now before you get too giddy (yes, Mamma did too), this is not a kids cafe. It’s not a play centre or somewhere to let the kiddos loose - it is a subscription based co-working space. Think a library space for study, but with a great cafe at the entrance.
So Mamma, can I bring my Harry Potter mad kids? For sure - but you have to treat the space like a library. A quiet and respectful visit. One person up the tree house if you must! The cafe staff were more than happy to let us walk through without disturbing others, whilst we waited for our food to be heated and coffee to be poured. It makes for a quick visit but perfect memory making, especially for the not easily impressed pre-teens!
