Where do you guys work on your fastlane businesses? And where did you start working from?

I am just starting out and cannot work from home because parents and siblings live there and it's a small place. Huge distraction anyway.

I've tried looking at a few offices to rent in London, but hell, they are so expensive that they are basically prohibitive for new entrepreneurs.
A perfect solution would be having a bit bigger house so you can work from your own room or a garage.

What did you guys do when starting out in a similar situation?
