Archive:New Space 2010

Since Somerset House is on hold for the foreseeable future a search for a new space to build-out in September 2010 is being held, as another winter at the existing space is undesirable.

Requirements

Venue

Required:

• At least 1100 sqft.
• Permanent heating
• B1 or B2 use class - B1 is probably OK as long as it's not directly next to any residential.
• Little or no internal finishings (e.g. no hardwood floorings) we can mess up
• Price: Less than £2000/month, including all charges, excluding rates.
• Toilets

Preferred:

• Cycle storage out of space
• Kitchen/sink.

Location

• Within zone 2
• Close to tube station (less than 0.5 miles)

Places to Look

• Camden council
• Railway arches: Spacia (TfL arches aren't attractive because they require a director of the company to personally guarantee the rent)
• Stirling Ackroyd
• Strettons
• Gumtree (Looks like mainly nice offices)
• Workspace Group

Potential spaces

Arches

• Potential know-how exchange with carpenters, welders, mechanics, artists, etc.
