Our potential new space, from March 2013. At more than 6500 sq ft 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.
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. 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.
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
Local Area
- 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
