In London is opened the first coffee shop where everything is free, except for the time you spend there. Minutes cost 3 pence.
It is actually a Russian chain of coffee shops "Ziferblat" which now got its first cafe in the UK. Name of cafes is coin from the Russian and German and indicates a clock. Namely, when guests come to the bars, they take an alarm clock from cabinet and set the time, and when the time expires an alarm will sound. Time spent in the coffee shop is not specified and there is no minimum time. Ziferblat offers coffee, various drinks, biscuits, fruits, vegetables, free internet and use of the kitchen. It is desirable that, after the meal, guests wash the dishes they used.
The interior is decorated with unusual furniture, bookshelves and has antique piano where guests can play something. Ziferblat is a place where everyone can feel at home. Here you are free to be yourself; you can work, do some art, read a book, play piano, get acquainted with good people, attend events, drink as much tea or coffee as you want — in other words, do whatever you like as long as you respect the space and the other people in it.
"People in London are much more prepared for this concept which they immediately understand," said Mitin.
It remains to be seen whether it will "receive" this idea and whether it is desirable that with you standing watch while drinking coffee and warns you when the time is up, for some it might be relaxing and stress for others.
