London Hackspace is relocating to this space over the weekend of April 13th/14th. Please volunteer for the big move
Our new space, leased from Friday 15th March 2013, moving-in date April 13th. 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 > 6000sqft 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. We need as much help as you can offer!
How to get there
447 Hackney Road, London E2 9DY
The front door on Hackney Road is protected by a roller shutter which is normally shut except for public events. Outside of these events, the main entrance to the space is through the back door on Emma Street. Come in through the big metal gate (if it's locked, the code is here). The rear door is locked with Doorbot - the reader is the black box next to the door.
