Peckham Levels launches affordable work spaces prioritising local creatives

Celebrating local talent and creativity.

[S]et to open this October, Peckham Levels is the creative project utilising seven levels of Peckham’s multi-storey car park, transforming it into an experimental space celebrating Peckham’s local talent and creativity. With rents going through the roof and gentrification spreading like a disease, it’s increasingly harder for creative people to find places to work and come together in London. In response, Peckham Levels is offering heavily discounted work spaces, spread over five floors, for emerging artists, designers, makers and entrepreneurs, starting from just £108 a month.

The top two levels will become an events space offering unique food, drink and events, making the South London space a hotspot for talented locals to connect and create lasting opportunities. Prioritising local people, 75% of the projects members will hail from Peckham itself, who will also be involved in a Community Resource Scheme, which sees all members investing one hour a week into training workshops and projects to inspire, educate and support other local people.

The first members of the 50 studio spaces include gal-dem, a collective of over 70 women and non-binary people of colour, Guap Magazine, the world’s first video magazine devoted to discovering creative youth and Champion Prints, who will offer 3D printing services for local designers and artists.
