London
This map is based mainly on a database of social centres in London (1960s until end 2013) which is hosted online at http://sqek.squat.net/database/. It can be kept up to date as an activist resource if there is the communal will to do it. Please scroll down for the address to mail.
The map makes no claim to be definitive or hegemonic (nor should it). There are many squats not listed here. Obviously, the majority of squats are residential and silent, whereas the projects profiled here had a public presence, demonstrated by events which were welcome to all. Thus "social centre" is taken in a very loose sense. Social centres in the narrower sense of anarchist organisational spaces are tagged as social centres, with occasional legal projects also added if they have been important to the squatters movement.
Squatted party venues could also claim to be social centres in a loose sense, but there have been so many it would be hard to add them all. Some longer lasting punk and tekno venues have been added.
Please add any development issues on github.
To add a squat or correct the information already here email addtomap@riseup.net.
Note that for a new project the MINIMUM required information to get onto to the map is: Address / Date begun / Date ended (if ended)
The more information on top of that the better, including links, fotos etc.
