welcome to the online home of london's newest autonomous squatted social centre
The Hackney Social Center is a place for meetings of local groups, a donations-only cafe, art projects, discussions, community forums, free language lessons, and much more. It is a non-commercial space for activists, community organizers, and members of the public - a place to imagine and build alternative futures for our neighbourhood. This building is a small step, but we make the road by walking.
After sustaining three weeks of violent attacks and attempted illegal evictions - twice by the owner of the property, and once by the police - the Hackney Social Centre opened on February 14th. We've opened in spite of early challenges because we're tired of yuppie maisonettes forcing up to housing prices, while buildings are empty and affordable housing is eaten away. We've opened because we're set to resist and oppose the threats posed by gentrification, capitalism and the upcoming Olympic Games. We've opened because Hackney needs free spaces - spaces to escape the divisions of capitalism and the profit-hungry rat-race that alienates us from one another.
We have a growing calendar of events and General Meetings every Sunday at 3pm - get involved and bring your friends!
