Our Communities

South London Makerspace is a social community workshop in the heart of Herne Hill. It’s owned, run and maintained by the members; there are no paid staff so everything is done on a volunteer basis. While we cater for a wide range of activities, we have several specalist areas equiped and ready to use including but not limited too...

Woodwork

If you’re looking to enjoy the peace of learning and practicing traditional woodworking skills, our fully equipped woodwork and carpentry workshop has everything to inspire a lifelong passion. We also have a full-sheet CNC machine for precision cutting and advanced projects.

Electronics

Whether you're a total beginner or seasoned pro, we have two fully equipped Electronics benches available all the time and we have a Thursday Evening Meet up with our Electro Techs to share ideas and get help with your project.

Metalwork

If you like to make things, run metal working machines, or just talk about tools, this is your place. We have a range of metal work equipment from a full size lathe to industrial MIG welder. Metal Techs are available at certain time to talk you though your projects and safe use of the equipment.

Textiles

Join us to complete the projects you began in our sewing workshops, or just work on your own sewing projects in the company of others! We offer industrial and domestic sewing machines, an overlocker, knitting machines, rug tufting, basic sewing supplies, and scrap fabrics.

Laser Cutting

We are lucky to have a Trotec industrial class laser cutter in the space - it can engrave and cut a wide range of materials from hard and softwoods to plastics and papers, inductions are held regularly and members are able to use the machine at any time.
