The London Hackspace is a social space for people who like to make things: we have a workshop with woodworking and metalworking machinery, extensive electronics equipment, a lasercutter, and many other tools and devices. Additionally we are host to a large social sphere of hackers, makers, scientists and artists, and a growing number of community subgroups that cater to particular interests. | The London Hackspace is a social space for people who like to make things: we have a workshop with woodworking and metalworking machinery, extensive electronics equipment, a lasercutter, and many other tools and devices.

We don't offer a formal training programme. If you want that you could try colleges (evening classes) or the Society of Model Engineers, who offer a very comprehensive machining class. However, there are lots of knowledgeable people who are often able to help and answer your queries. If you're prepared to pitch in and try things, read up on it, ask advice and be patient .. you'll probably do fine. | |||
The London Hackspace is entirely volunteer-run, and governed by the community. We rely on donations to sustain our efforts, we expect that our members engage with the community, and we rely on our members to maintain the space. | The London Hackspace is entirely volunteer-run, and governed by the community.
