To kick 2011 off with a bang, the [[About|London Hackspace]] has taken the lease on the unit next door to our current workshop, doubling it in size! This gives us a whole load more storage space, and a new metal/woodworking workshop which is four times the size of the old one. It also frees up a lot more space for desks and chairs for hacking, and there are even plans for a sizeable new kitchen!

However, this move substantially increases our running costs to around £4000 per month (the joy of London rent), which is about £1000/month more than we're currently making. We've taken the plunge because it was getting very crowded in the current space, and we're confident we can find enough people willing to pay to do awesome things with the new expanded space.
