Archive:New Space 2010

Since Somerset House is on hold for the foreseeable future a search for a new space September 2010 is being held, as another winter at the existing space is undesirable. The budget is somewhat flexible, but anything more than £2.5k is far out of reach.

Requirements

Venue

• 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

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)

Potential spaces

16 Hoxton Square

Rent

£1500/month (inclusive)

Size

440sqft. + 200 sqft. mezzanine

Tube

0.3 miles (Old Street)

Facilities

• Broadband
• Cleaners

Notes

• Converted primary school, looks perfect for our needs (apart from size).

Arches

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