Our new space, 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! Here are some resources about the move: Hackspace Move. We need as much help as you can offer!

How to get there

447 Hackney Road, London E2 9DY

The front door on Hackney Road is protected by a roller shutter which is normally shut except for public events. Outside of these events, the main entrance to the space is through the back door on Emma Street. Come in through the big metal gate (if it's locked, the code is here). The rear door is locked with Doorbot - the reader is the black box next to the door.
