Free London Listings

London has a long tradition of self-organised spaces, squatted communities and other ways for folk to socialise, have fun, learn and organise.  Some are in squats, some in rented accommodation and a couple even owned outright.

For those new to London, skint or just interested in meeting folk interested in radical ideas and communities organising themselves then these are friendly and safe environments to meet like minded folk.

Below is a list of some of these free spaces.  Many hold regular free events, check our listings or their websites for more into.

A collectively run building providing space and resources for people and groups working on self-organised, non-hierarchical projects for radical social change.

195 Mare Street - Hackney

56a Infoshop - Walworth

Please be aware that this list is correct as of going to press, however due to evictions and other such inconveniences it's best to have a look at their website or contact them if you plan on travelling far to visit.
