Lon­don’s newest autonomous zone opened last night with a free cafe, music, and a series of short films.

After three weeks of resist­ing ille­gal forcible evic­tions, the Hack­ney Social Cen­tre opened last night for an evening of food, music, films — includ­ing one, Train­squat­ting, about squat­ters and resis­tance to evic­tions in Slove­nia.

The social cen­tre grew out of meet­ings through the North­east Squat­ters Net­work, which seeks to strength­en sol­i­dar­i­ty and skill-shar­ing local­ly between the squats in north-east Lon­don. It is a non-com­mer­cial social space and plans to be home to activ­i­ties such as free lan­guage lessons, a dona­tions-only cafe, a free shop, meet­ings of local groups, skill-share ses­sions and a bike work­shop.

Gen­er­al Meet­ings for the social cen­tre are open to the pub­lic, and begin this Sun­day, Feb­ru­ary 17th, at 3pm. Any­one inter­est­ed in get­ting involved, or learn­ing more, is wel­come. The social cen­tre is locat­ed at 231 Low­er Clap­ton Road, in Hack­ney.
