In November 2019, SPACE opened new artist studios, a gallery and event space in the London Borough of Redbridge. Situated at the rear of Redbridge Town Hall, Ilford, an impressive Grade II listed landmark with a spectacular Art Deco interior, the building provides artists and creatives with 35 affordable workspaces.

SPACE Ilford is part of the Mayor of London’s £70 million regeneration plan to turn the town centre into a buzzing, cultural destination. Ilford is 5 minutes by train from Stratford, while the Elizabeth Line connects the town centre to London’s West End in 10 minutes.

Since 2019, SPACE has developed a fantastic programme of free exhibitions for the whole community to enjoy, co-created by artists and local residents, as well as regular free creative workshops and events for people of all ages and abilities.

Leader of Redbridge Council, Cllr Jas Athwal, says, “We believe that culture will play a major role in the future of Ilford and are delighted to be working with an organisation of SPACE’s experience on this exciting first project.”

SPACE’s CEO, Anna Harding, says, “SPACE is excited to be working with the London Borough of Redbridge to provide affordable workspace and creative programmes in Ilford town centre. We hope this will create new employment and training opportunities for Redbridge residents, as well as contribute to transforming the town centre as a destination.”
