By Jordan Renwick, University of Gloucestershire Student
Procrastinated all day, finally sat down at your desk and the vibes just aren’t right? Don’t panic, head down to any of these pre-vibe-checked study spots - all with free wifi - to guarantee you’ll be able to channel your inner Rory Gilmore and finish that assignment.
Café W at Waterstones
33-41 Promenade, Cheltenham, GL50 1LE
What could be more motivating to read that textbook than sitting in a literal bookshop? Open every day of the week, Café W has seating inside and outside on their balcony to enjoy in the summer, so you can catch that tan and the grades.
Society Café
2 Ormond Place, Cheltenham, GL50 1JD
Serving speciality coffee and only in four locations across the south of England, Society Café is the perfect place for uninterrupted study time. Across two floors there are plenty of opportunities to find the perfect spot.
Boston Tea Party
45-49 Clarence Street, Cheltenham, GL50 3JS
If you’re the kind of student that needs to line up the snacks to get you in the studying mood, then BTP is the place for you. Aside from the hash browns being to die for, they offer a range of all day brunch options including vegetarian and vegan choices.
The Scandinavian Coffee Pod
Royal Well Place, Cheltenham, GL50 3QD
For the coffee lover, the speciality coffee and the cosy Scandinavian style of the pod with just a few tables provides a quiet, still environment to get that assignment done. Pastries and seasonal drinks are also available at this locally owned spot with outside seating in the summer months.
Suffolk Coffee
17 Suffolks Parade, Cheltenham, GL50 2AE
Located not too far from UOG’s Park campus in (you guessed it) the Suffolks area, Suffolk Coffee serves locally sourced coffee, tea and treats, and is the idea off-grid space. With a dedicated laptop area, it’s the study equivalent of choosing the quiet coach option on the train.
Guilt Trip

With plenty of seating upstairs and sweet treats to get you through the worst of essays (and to suit various dietary requirements) Guilt Trip is a great place to set up camp to lock in a good few hours of hard work.
