199 Oxford Road is the precinct address every WFH Joburger needs as we embrace the post-lockdown era of hybrid work solutions. Oxford Parks has a vibrant setting, uninterrupted wifi and plenty of opportunity to move from behind your laptop to a client lunch or drinks with friends. Flanked by Oxford, Jellicoe, Cradock and Bompas roads, it is home to some of the city’s favourite local brands (Double Shot), and Luke Dale Roberts’ The Shortmarket Club was recently joined by his new venture, The Test Kitchen Carbon (watch this space, literally). From vegan to Greek, here’s where to fill up between shifts.

Downstairs, Oui Bar & KTCHN offers an all-day menu and plenty of plug points for working remotely. In a hurry? Grab-and-go options are available in the lobby. @radissonred
