The initiative, dubbed 'Working From Oval' or 'WFO', comes from Surrey County Cricket Club, which promotes it as 'the ultimate home working experience' this summer. According to the club, attendees can enjoy 'a view' and 'food and drink on hand' while working. The Oval, located in Kennington in Lambeth, has a capacity of 27,500.
To create a work-friendly environment, a number of seats at the venue have been equipped with desks, aimed at providing a perfect setup for office workers. In a promotional message, Surrey County Cricket Club highlighted recent upgrades, stating that they have upgraded their WiFi over the winter and there are terraces around the ground with pitch views and desk access, inviting people to come and saying they won't tell their boss. Specific details remain unclear, including what matches or dates the offer applies to, the exact number of seats with desks, and pricing or booking information.
The best home office in the country? We've upgraded our WiFi over the winter and there are terraces around the ground with pitch views and desk access. See you there and we won't tell your boss.
It is also unknown whether there are any restrictions or requirements for attendees or how the WiFi upgrade compares to previous speeds or standard connections.
