Ask HN: Office Space - Important?

I have an architect friend who has rented a nice office space for his own business, and he's said that the spare desk in there I can rent from him.

Its a very nice office, its the art room in a school that is being converted into business offices, so 1 wall is nearly all glass to let in light. He is only asking for £150 a month (mates rates) and that seems like a bargain to me. Its within a short bike ride from my house (30min) or a walk and a bus ride. I will use it mainly for getting my own business ventures off the ground as a way to help me procrastinate less and get in a business mindset when there.

Did anyone else find that getting office space and a desk increased their productivity? Its more of a personal preference really, but anyone able to share any advice or past experiences?
