Our potential new space, from March 2013. The strongest candidate by far in our New Space Search 2012.

Planning the move

There's lots do do. Here are some resources that help us coordinate this: Hackspace Move.

How to get there

Ground Floor and Basement, 447-453 Hackney Road, London E2 9DY. (Google map, OpenStreetMap, TFL Journey Planner).

It's a 15-minute walk from the current space, Laboratory 24. Or a short bus ride on the 26, 48, 55.

Transport

  • There is a bikeshare station around the corner on Pritchards Road
  • Local bus stops: 26, 48, 55 are right next to the entrance on Hackney Road. Mare St around the corner: 106, 254, others.
  • It's a 10-minute walk from Bethnal Green tube station, and around the corner from the Cambridge Heath overground station

Access

Initially the space will likely be closed for renovations. We will set up doorbot on the back entrance as soon as possible, and in the meantime will distribute keys to a few local members.

Information

  • Size: ground floor 3125 sq ft, basement 3390 sq ft.
  • Ceiling heights: 12.5' and 8.5' (3.8m ground floor, 2.6m basement)

Expected Cost

As can be expected our monthly costs will increase significantly, however we managed to negotiate an initial rent-free period and some other reductions that allow us to help with the transition. Based on our current growth rate we are confident that we can support the new space.

  • TODO: include a cost/revenue projection
  • TODO: include rough budget for the move

TODO

Local Area

TODO: Internet, nearby shops

  • There is a cash machine directly across the road by the Tesco.
  • There is a post office behind the building on Emma Street
  • Broadway Market and London Fields are a 5-minute walk away
  • There are many nice Pubs close by:
  • Brazilian Restaurant/Takeway 'Raizes' (on just-eat) Map
