Brixton Village - Interesting in terms of markets/networks/artist run spaces - also would be pretty exciting to utilise this free space if our ideas moved in that direction

What would you do with a space in a 1930s market arcade in Brixton? If you have a good idea, you could be part of the largest empty shops project in the UK.

Space Makers Agency is joining forces with London & Associated Properties PLC and Lambeth Council to fill the empty shop units in Brixton Village indoor market with exciting temporary and permanent projects.

Right now, 20 units in the market are being made ready for occupation. LAP are offering people the chance to take on a unit, rent free, for up to three months.

On Tuesday 10th November, the empty shops will be open for viewing from 4.30pm and anyone interested in taking on a space is invited to come to a meeting at 6.30pm. This will be a chance to hear from the owners and from Lambeth Council, as well as existing market traders, and find out what’s involved in taking on a shop – on a temporary or permanent basis.

Space Makers is looking for your ideas for creative, community-oriented and enterprising projects to make use of a space. Projects could include new and existing businesses, as well as community groups, arts and theatre projects and other imaginative uses of space.
