Yard/Car Park

Our potential new space, from March 2013. At more than 6500 sq ft (600 m²) over two floors, it's nearly triple the size of our old space, and also includes a sizeable dedicated yard with loading bay.

There's lots to do before we move in. Here are some resources that help us coordinate the move: Hackspace Move.

Expected Cost

A graph of predicted income and expenses

This space increases our monthly budget from around £5,000 to over £10,000 per month. At the moment, membership income is around £7,000/month, so we're banking on a decent uptick in memberships in order to cope.

We have the benefit of nearly £40,000 in savings in the bank, and the first 4 months of our lease are rent-free.

Local Area

• There is a cash machine directly across the road by the Tesco.
• There is a post office sorting office behind the building on Emma Street
• Broadway Market and London Fields are a 5-minute walk away
