How to Beat the Tube Strikes with London Garden Rooms

It's happening again, underground staff strike over pay, conditions against a distinct lack of negotiation on the part of the management. The only group relatively unaffected is the growing number of home-workers in their garden rooms. For other Londoners and visitors to the capital, the inconvenience of the disruption to their working day and leisure evenings is a very costly annoyance.

Recent estimates have calculated that underground workers will cost the capital nearly 50 million in lost productivity per day. In the winter of 2010 no company can afford the down time. With the additional warning of another seasonal snow-in this year, companies are diversifying their business models and developing remote office practises based in private London gardens to keep ahead of their competitors.

Garden offices seem to be immune from recession backlash as more Londoners join the revolution in understanding the cost benefits. A typical story is that of Adam, a successful architect, paying 22,000 rent per annum for his business premises across town. Adam ordered a high quality garden office for installation in his own back garden in October 2010. The project totalled 20,000 so will begin paying for itself in less than a year. His office came with a 10 year insurance backed guarantee so he was not worried about maintenance or quality. The immediate benefit was unexpected 12 extra hours every week saved by not having to commute on the tubes and no tickets to pay for!

Beating the effects of tube strikes by way of avoiding the need to travel also has environmental benefits, in terms of your own carbon footprint. The green benefit can be extended by considering the thermal performance for your new office and making sure it has as low a U-value as possible. There is no doubt that the person working from home will feel little or no loss in productivity due to tube strikes effectively rendering them an enviable immunity to the disruption. The commuter, on the other hand, aware of every lost minute and each extra taxi journey cost, may feel additional stress and build a debt of further expenses as a direct result of the strikes.
