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.

Location

See 447 Hackney Road.

Expected Schedule

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.

We aim to set up doorbot access to the new space asap.

Prepare your 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.

Prepare your loaned equipment

  • Make sure it is labelled properly so it doesn't get lost
  • If it is delicate or hard to move: prepare it for the move yourself, or even take it home for the duration of the move

Update Your Deliveries

Do make sure to take our move into account when you get items delivered to the space! We won't have access to the old building after we fully moved out.
