A House of Lords committee was informed by urban economist Paul Swinney that remote and hybrid working has significantly altered after-work drinking patterns. In London, spending data shows that post-work drinks have shifted from Friday to Thursday, while other UK cities, including Glasgow and Liverpool, experienced an overall decline in bar spending. The findings highlight the differing impacts of remote work across various urban environments, pointing to a need for local businesses to adapt to these changing social trends following the pandemic.
In London, the Friday night drink hasn't so much gone away, it's just shifted to a Thursday, suggesting a different trend in social habits post-pandemic.
In contrast to London, other large British cities have seen a reduction in post-work drinking, emphasizing the diverse impacts of remote working across the country.
