LONDON.- For the next 7 years this monolithic Arts & Craft facility will become a mixed DIY Art Centre ideal for studios, project spaces and artist groups. The Police Gym can be used for shows and events, with further exhibition spaces in the Prison Cell Block. There will be a communal snack lounge with wifi for studio members in the Police Booking Office to encourage social contact.

Rooms over 5 floors make 24 separate artist studios from 75-600 sqft, including studios with bay windows, parquet floors, own street access, and all good heights. There's a substantial yard for public events, working outside, deliveries/parking, and special venues inside for hire for photo shoots, bands, rehearsals and private parties.

The building is very well located with excellent transport (including additional links planned for 2010). On the same street as New Cross Station, 4mins walk, it is only 5mins walk to Deptford High Street and 15 to Goldsmiths College.
