Looks interesting!
NEW SQUAT CENTRE IN SOUTH LONDON!
After long silence and dormant winters some of South London's dodgiest
characters have squatted a space to use for a new centre...
the old Good Food Cafe at 192 Warham Street, Camberwell, SE5, has been
seized and turned into a communal space for use as a cafe, bar,
meeting space, and much more...
Left empty since last year, with no electric and water pouring from
ripped out pipes, damp and dark, the place has been partly done up,
painted, plumbed, electrified, and opened last week. A large ish
collective of people living fairly locally, some of whom are long time
Sarf Lunnon troublemakers and some more recent arrivals... we have
lots of energy.
As yet we have no name... we'll agree one soon. or not! The alleged
owners of the building and neighbouring ones want to knock them down
and build more overpirced flats, useless to us as we can't afford
them. So we've transformed it ourselves.
Free space is fragile and hard to find/hold in London... Help us keep
this one, the developers ahve been sniffing round, so people to be
there in the day and help secure it/do it up would be welcome.
But the building is also available for other subversives, local or
otherwise to use. So drop in, get involved, come down to check the
place out.
For more info ring the Squat Centre on: 07982 469755
EVENTS COMING UP
Film showing: 'The London Nobody Knows". Weds 21 March 7pm - free. A
1960s look at London's oddnesses.
Film nights will be held on Wednesday nights every week thereafter.
Cafe night, Friday 23rd, 7.30pm. Donation for home cooked food. Or
come and hang out, meet folks, suss out the building. Cafes will
follow every Friday...
Sunday 25th: We will probably be having a breakfast cafe followed by a
painting session on unpainted bits of the space. Call the squat line
to check if its on...
The place is there for people to use, so these events will hopefully
be followed by more, and yours...
