Last month we bid a fond farewell to our temporary creative hub Granby Space after 5 years of operation. Formerly the site of Waterloo Library before it moved to Oasis Charitable Trust, the space was transformed into a co-working space, offices, and a retail unit and opened in 2016 to support local Lambeth start-ups and growing independent enterprises.
The design process for Granby Space was informed by extensive consultation with key stakeholders including We Are Waterloo, South Bank Employers' Group, and local landlords, and the build was delivered by a team effort from Meanwhile Space, Lambeth Council and IF_DO.
Between 2016 and 2021, the hub provided affordable workspace and business support to local businesses and social enterprises from a variety of industries, including:
