I've been a studio occupant for 2 years and I love this facility. I'm a personal trainer, yoga instructor and sports massage therapist and the space is perfect for me to run my business from. The rates are good and include bills, so I don't have to deal with this separately. The building is a fantastic space, very open and light inside. The people who run the facility are friendly and helpful. Highly recommended if you're looking for a work place or desk.

Craft Central offers an affordable work environment for crafts people and small businesses. At an affordable price, they provide you with free yes and coffee, no extra cost for utilities our cleaning and it's accessible 24 hours. Easily reached by public transport and also close to motorway routes.

A fantastic space for artists and craftspeople. We went to a small Japanese craft exhibition held here. Excellent food on offer (it was Japanese, and most likely changes. I'm not sure) though it is a little crowded in the food corner when it gets busy.

The Forge is a great place to work with spacious newly built studio units, hot desks, meeting rooms and exhibition space. The building has been adapted to fit an array of studios for designers, makers and small businesses and has great breakout spaces to network and meet the other tenants. There is also 24 hr access for studio holders and good security. The staff are friendly and helpful, with the Craft Central organisation providing regular opportunities for markets and fairs.

I'm only in 3weeks and absolutely LOVE the place. A fantastic building that consists of various sized self-contained studio units, hot-desking areas and communal zones such as workshops, gallery/exhibition space and kitchen area.. These and all bills are inclusive in the rent you pay which is pretty darn decent for London! Having had to manage all those separately in my last place, this place is a godsend! It's absolutely perfect for creatives and small businesses so if you're looking for a place to work and grow, I would highly recommend it. Great transport links, 24 hour secure access. The CC crew are also incredibly friendly, welcoming and supportive - making you feel right at home. I really look forward to my time here and getting to know everyone in due course. :)

I have just attended a really lovely market event. Many beautiful things and great people to talk to about their work. The Japanese cafe is also rather good! Well worth a visit - thanks everybody😀😀

Some really excellent work on display by skilled crafts people -- not many of them but this was a specialist event -- but why charge an entry fee? I was left feeling disappointed, which was in inverse correlation to the excellence of work on display. I assume it's the venue that charges the fee. If so venue, I don't feel it's the way ahead for you.
