A House of Lords committee is scrutinizing the effects of remote and hybrid working in the UK, fueled by the Centre for Cities' recent findings. Their post-pandemic analysis revealed that Friday spent in pubs in central London has dropped, while Thursday spending has surged, indicating a shift in worker patterns. Notably, this change isn't mirrored in other major UK cities like Glasgow and Bristol. Surveys indicate Fridays have become a preferred work-from-home day for office employees, but mid-week attendance is rebounding to pre-pandemic levels.
During the pandemic, Friday became the top remote working day, impacting spending habits. The Centre for Cities analyzed card data from 2019 and 2024.
In central London, pub spending has shifted, with Fridays declining and Thursdays rising in popularity, reflecting changes in workers' schedules.
