Thanks for adding to the ongoing story. Whatever next?!?

BTW, there are loads of creative squats in London.

Check out, for example:
http://www.spikesurplus.org – nearly 10 years but council now got possession order. Sad. Hopefully something magic will happen. I’m fairly confident it will :) do a google on them too, got some nice coverage on bbc and stuff lately.
http://491gallery.org – been going for years and years, a must visit
http://circlecommunity.org – often in amazing places
http://dagallery.co.uk – v similar crowd to temporary school lot, do squat galleries in posh locations
http://area10.info – think they may have a lease these days

It was a really creative community and loads of us harldy ever left the area because it was so interesting just hanging out with the different people living there.

The council tried to get the place demolished and replaced with a sandwich factory, so the squatters organised and instead the place has been redeveloped as an Artists live/work space, with many of the inhabitants doing self build projects to keep their houses.

Upside of the credit crunch – more creative squatting communities?

Tomorrow (Jan 7th) I’m talking on infrastructure theory at 1PM, and teaching meditation at 6. There’s also a thing on the Situationists at 3PM which I think will be great.

Infrastructure theory, in this instance, is presenting maps which show where the electricity, gas, water, sewage processing and everything else we rely on every day to keep us alive come from. Most of that stuff was developed for disaster relief, but it’s very relevant to sustainable development, economic shocks and… yes… squatting :-)

See you tomorrow, enjoy!
