The Common Room
The Common Room is a brand new concept in community thinking. Dedicated spaces in the London Boroughs of Islington and Waltham Forest, The Common Rooms are where younger and older come together in dynamic exploration and discovery. It is where human connection, collaboration and the power of “together” thrive. The Common Room can help you discover your purpose and reach new goals in life, whatever your age.
​
Sign up to be a member (it's free!), or simply pop in for a coffee and meet the team. We're open 10-4, Monday to Friday.
The Islington Common Room is on Priory Green, N1 9DG - look for the big white chimney!
​
The Waltham Forest Common Room is at Market Parade, 778-782 High Road, Leyton, E10 6AH. We also hold pop-up workshops across the borough - see "What's On".

Interwoven Productions
Interwoven supports artists of quality working in participatory, place-led, practice. We are based in SW England.
We see ourselves as place-makers and are the creators of "Squilometres", a technique for sustainable, community animation through place-led arts. We prefer the term "animation" to "engagement" because we specialise in working from within communities, enabling community- commissioning and animating residents to create their own relevant celebrations of the places they share.
Each Squilometre works within the new circular, alternative economies. Harnessing the existing assets of place and enabling communities to raise the local funds they need to create but also to commission Interwoven artists if they choose to.
