In the novel 1984, Winston and Julia feel safe meeting in the room above the antique shop because Winston had earlier realized that the antique shop itself did not have a telescreen, hence it was unlikely that the ministries (the government) could spy upon them, or that the owners of the shop cooperated with the government.
