Open Workshops in London

We were always wondering why there aren't more hackerspaces in London; it took years after the LHS started to see some other initiatives. Here's a list of some of the ones I've seen, 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.
Early-Stage
- Buildin Bloqs
- East London Inventor's Club (long-running event series, now also looking for a physical space)
- UCL MakeSpace (opening in March 2013)
- Brixton Hackspace
- Tinkerspace (also in Brixton; not sure if/how they're connected)
- Repair & Reuse parties (Billy mentioned these; can't find them online. Maybe he meant Repair Cafés?
Running
- Assemble & Join (Waterloo, inspired by hackerspaces; they have a CNC router!)
- Sugar House Studios (design/architects; commercial)
Events, Conferences
- London MakerFaire
