Weekly Open Evening
23 April 2024 at 19:00
Our weekly meeting, where people hang out and hack on projects, socialise and collaborate. Bring beer/snacks/beverages if you like.

What?

Our weekly meeting, where people hang out and hack on projects, socialise and collaborate. Bring beer or other beverages, or small snacks if you like.

When?

Every Tuesday from around 7:00pm until people go home; which is generally very late.

Where?

Our space in Wembley. 388 High Road Wembley HA9 6AR.

Nearest Train/Tube Stations: Wembley Central and Wembley Stadium served by London Overground, Bakerloo ad Metropolitan Underground Lines, Chiltern Main Line, and many TfL London Bus Services.

Who?

Everyone is welcome, both members and non-members. It tends to be a nice mix of regulars, irregulars and new faces.

Why?

  • Simply to take a look around, see the Laser Cutter, etc. and have a chat.
  • Because you want to hack on projects but don't get time.
  • Because you need help with something.
  • Because you want to see the space and play with our equipment before becoming a member.
  • Because we have tools you need to use that you don't have at home.
  • Because you just want to hang out with like minded people.
  • Because you want to get involved with the organisation of the London Hackspace.

Pub?

We used to go to a nearby pub, but given our new space is so lovely we tend to stay there and consume all the beer on the premises.

Sometimes, we go to the pub when we run out of beer on the premises.

What happens?

  • MAKING of THINGS.
  • WRITING of CODES.
  • EATING of PIZZAS.
  • DRINKING of BEERS.
  • Other stuff. This is by no means a comprehensive list.

You can find photos of some of the stuff we've done in our Hackspace Flickr Pool.
