Our new space, leased from July 2010.

Location

"London Hackspace: Laboratory 24" Unit 24, Cremer Business Centre, 37 Cremer Street, London, E2 8HD

Access

The business centre is open 24/7; however a key is required to access the space, outside of prearranged events. We hope to enable RFID access shortly, but for now please see Keyholders to find a key if you need access.

There are two stairwells in the building: north and south, both have freight lifts and one has a passenger lift. You can use either. We're on the second floor.

It is fully wheelchair accessible.

The space is outside of the congestion charge zone.

We have two spaces for cars (36 and 37). You must park in the correct spaces, and display one of our four permits in your windscreen (copies not acceptable).

There is a loading bay near the lifts which can be used for up to 30 minutes.

By Bicycle

If you come by bicycle you can leave it in the bike rack provided at the rear of the car park, chain it to the balcony, or take it inside the space. Please do use good security for your bike - D-Lock or similar - as member's bikes have been the targets of attempted theft.

Information

Facilities

  • Hot and cold water is available, but not strictly drinkable. Filtered drinking water is available via the smaller tap on the big sink.
  • Three-phase power is available in the dirty shop.

Zones

The room on the far left is designated as a dirty shop, for heavy industrial equipment and anything that generates a significant amount of mess. Please ensure any equipment in here that makes any noticeable amount of noise is on rubber feet.

Emergencies

  • We have a landline phone near the electricity meters that is on an active line.
  • There is a first aid kit and fire blanket on the wall to your left as you enter the space.
  • In the event of a fire, please activate the fire alarm - there is an alert button to the right as you exit through the front door of the space.
  • There are two stairwells available from the front balcony, one in either direction - do not use any of the lifts in an emergency. The rear door leads on to a balcony with a fire escape at the very end.

Locking Up

When leaving, please remember to:

  • Check that any food is in the bin and all of the washing up is done.
  • Unplug all soldering irons and heaters.
  • Lock the rear door.
  • Close all the windows (rear windows, and those in the toilets).
