London Hackspace is relocating to this space over the weekend of April 13th/14th. It's not open until then. 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

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

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

Transport

  • There is a London Cycle Hire station around the corner on Pritchards Road, other stations on Regents Row near Broadway Market and Goldsmiths Row
  • Local bus stops: 26, 48, 55 are right next to the entrance on Hackney Road. 55 connects with 205 or Northern Line to King's Cross. Mare St around the corner: 106, 254, others. The 394 bus to Angel and Homerton is a 2-minute walk away, at the other end of Pritchards Road. The 236 bus is at the end of Broadway Market, and leads to Shacklewell Lane/Kingsland Rd, just North of Dalston Junction.
  • It's a 10-minute walk from Bethnal Green tube station, and around the corner from the Cambridge Heath National Rail station served by trains to/from Liverpool Street

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 need to increase our membership income significantly 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
  • There is a cash and carry around the corner on Cambridge Heath Road
  • There are many nice Pubs close by:

Pubs

Food

  • Venetian Restaurant/Bar Ombra
  • Brazilian Restaurant/Takeway 'Raizes' (on just-eat) Map
  • The Canteen Cafe, can deliver to the space. We have a menu. Tgreer approves of the breakfasts.
