Residents of the city that famously never sleeps demand up-to-speed technology and lightning-fast Internet connections. The city’s “coffice” culture – that’s coffee shop offices – and creative co-working spaces like WeWork in SoHo, mean you can find a Wi-Fi connection and good cup of joe on almost every corner.

London
