We were always wondering why there aren't more hackerspace-type organisations in London: social spaces where people come together to make things, share knowledge and skills, etc. When LHS [[History | started]] there was very little activity besides some long-running well-established orgs. Here's a list of some of the ones we've seen since, feel free to expand/amend. Some are old, most are new. Some are meet-ups, some are attempts at creating workshop spaces. | We were always wondering why there aren't more hackerspace-type organisations in London: social spaces where people come together to make things, share tools, knowledge, and skills, etc. When LHS [[History | started]] there was very little activity besides some long-running well-established orgs.

It's sometimes hard to delineate which orgs to include. I'd like to focus on non-profit maker-type communal workspaces, and *not* on orgs in more well-developed domains such as open source, computer security, the arts, commercial co-working spaces, incubators, etc; however sometimes those boundaries aren't very clear. Jonty defines hackerspaces more narrowly as "community owned and governed communal workshops with a focus on recreational use", but this list is not just limited to hackerspaces. | It's sometimes hard to delineate which orgs to include.
