Revision as of 15:40, 2 February 2013
We were always wondering why there aren't more hackerspaces in London; when LHS started there was very little activity besides some long-running well-established orgs. Here's a list of some of the ones I've seen since, feel free to expand/amend. Some are old, most are new. Some are meet-ups, some are attempts at creating a physical hackerspace. I don't know most of these organisations personally; in some cases I had brief conversations with founders or early members.
