Fresh on the market to day is this semi detached three storey social centre located in a desirable East London situated in a quiet cobbled street just a stones throw from the city's financial district.

Ideal for anarchists and creative types, the property is well proportioned and comprises a good sized events room, kitchen with assorted , utility room, several toilets, and even a shower. It's close to the local amenities, curry houses and kababs whilst being within easy distance of the the city via the London transport. It's just outside the congestion zone which may appeal to some buyers.

It's been lovingly cared for by the present occupiers of the last 26 months and has great potential for the eager property developer. Guide price is a snip at £800,000 - LETS considered.

Yes, the time has finally come. The rampART social centre is on the market as of today which can only spell the approaching end of the project which began back in may 2004.

It could still be another three months or more before the first attempted eviction and there will be no shortage of events between now and then. However, the social centre has run for over two years without any threat from land owner or authorities so this does mark a major milestone in the history of the space and almost certainly spells the end.

The rampART was intending to run a consultation and visioning process in the next few weeks in order to give fresh energy and insight into the project. The latest news should not change these intentions and you are more than welcome to come and get involved in the time that is left.
