From London Hackspace Wiki
This page is for planning the build out of our new space, currently centred on 445 Hackney Road.
Please note, this is for planning on bringing up a new space to the level we currently enjoy, not wild new awesome things. (that can come after) This is so that we have a action and cost plan to maintain the level of our current space.
