We are a community of creators
OUR COMMUNITY
Who Are MAKE IT London?

MAKE IT London are a small but mighty team of individuals driven by the magic that happens when people share space. We reimagine environments with a mission to create affordable spaces that encourage ideas. We provide a 360-degree service from design and refurbishment of assets through to enterprise sourcing, community outreach, event curation and operation. We work alongside local authorities, landlords and communities, listening to local aspirations for increased socio-economic value. We're not a social enterprise, charity or community interest company...we just think it's really cool when inclusivity, accessibility and creativity come together.

How Can I Get Involved?

Rent a workspace or desk with us, shoot a music video, record a podcast, find your zen in a yoga class, attend an event, host an event, sip a coffee or sink a double at the bar...everything and everyones welcome!

If you're a landlord, local authority or developer and are looking for a new opportunity, we're always on the look out for new projects. Maybe you've got a building, plot of land or development opportunity which you would like us to bring to life we’d love to hear from you.
