When the London Hackspace [[History | started]] in early 2009 there were virtually no comparable community workshop spaces in London. In recent years we've seen many more of these organisations appear: communal workshop spaces where people come together to make things, share tools, knowledge, and skills. Here's a list of some of the ones we've seen since, feel free to expand/amend. Some are old, but most are new. | When the London Hackspace [[History | started]] in early 2009 there were virtually no comparable community workshop spaces in London.

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. See also: [[Other Hackspaces]]. | |||

In October 2014 Liz Corbin published her own list: [http://openworkshopnetwork.com Open WorkshopNetwork]. The Public Works team published one in April 2014: [http://wickcuriosityshop.net/collection/open-workshops-784 open workshops]. In December 2014 Nesta announced they're [http://www.nesta.org.uk/blog/mapping-uk-makerspaces-building-useful-data-set mapping UK makerspaces], this is likely going to be the most thorough effort so far. For a somewhat related narrative, see "[http://www.furtherfield.org/features/articles/media-lab-culture-uk Media Lab Culture in the UK]" from 2012 (before most of the organisations on this page were founded.) | ||
