Working from Allama Iqbal Town, without the cross-city commute
Allama Iqbal Town is one of the largest planned residential areas in Lahore, and for a neighbourhood of its size it is remarkably short on places to work that are not your own bedroom. There are cafés, and there is the option of driving to Gulberg, and not much in between.
Workspace by Spiderhunts sits about ten minutes from most Iqbal Town blocks, in Sabzazar. From Karim Block, Nizam Block and Hunza Block the run down towards Sabzazar Chowk is short outside peak hours. From Neelam, Umar and Rachna Block you are looking at a similar trip via the Multan Road side. Either way it is a local drive, not a cross-city one.
The people we see from Iqbal Town tend to fall into two groups. The first is freelancers and remote employees who have outgrown working from a shared family home — the ones who need a room where a client call is not interrupted. The second is small business owners who run something in the Iqbal Town markets and want a quiet office to do the actual thinking in. Both need the same things: power, internet, a door, and no annual lease.
