Hackspace Move

There's a good chance that we will soon move to a potential new space in 447 Hackney Road, this may kick off as soon as mid-March 2013.

There's lots do do. Moving will be an enormous task, and will take at least an entire weekend (and probably several week's worth of time in preparation). Here are some resources that help us coordinate this.

Frequently Asked Questions

See also New Space Search 2012#Frequently_Asked_Questions for a discussion of why a move is possible (and necessary) in 2013.

How soon will we move?

We may start the transition period as early as mid-March 2013, which will give us about 6 weeks to clear out and restore Cremer St.

Do make sure to take that into account when you get items delivered to the space!

What will happen to my member box?

If you have a member box:

• make sure that it can be closed with the lid fitting properly
• make sure it's clearly labeled with your name and Standing Order Reference number. You can find your reference number at london.hackspace.org.uk/members/ after you have logged into the website.
