Preliminary plan of Basement
Preliminary plan of Ground Floor

The current home of London Hackspace, leased from Friday 15th March 2013, which we moved into on 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.

Even though we've now moved there's still lots to do to make our space more awesome.
