- Office space for micro enterprises/small creative enterprises
- A quiet space for thinking and reflection (with wi-fi access!)
- A space for children's birthday parties and other celebrations (with noise kept in check!)
The idea of leasing the land also came up and growing and then cooking street food from vans for a few weekends in the summer.
The winning and immediate idea was to get together for a party - in fact the Brixton Garden Party - to get to know each other and get more people involved in thinking about the space. A group is coming together soon to plan...
Please join us on 1st June 2011, 8pm at the White Horse, Brixton Hill.
