Contents
History
The project has been run by Camden Town Unlimited, the business improvement district for Camden Town since 2009. Camden Collective carries out projects including public art, co-working spaces, pop up shops, accelerator and business support courses. The project relies on grants and raising revenue to support its activities.
Participants
Notable businesses using the co-working spaces include SB.TV, Clime-it Brothers, Sudden Black and Stemettes. A Channel 4 documentary series, Bedroom to Boardroom that followed SB.TV was filmed in Camden Collective’s co-working space. PayneShurvell, Amy Winehouse Foundation, Hospital Records and UK band Enter Shikari have previously used the Camden Collective pop up shops.
Properties
Camden Collective re-purposes previously vacant and underused properties for its activities. The original ‘wire-less, wall-less’ Collective co-working space was designed by Dexter Moren Associates in 2009, and was located above David Roberts Art Foundation in a 19th-century converted furniture factory. In 2013, the project opened a 3-storey retail and co-working space on Camden High Street. Since 2015, the project has been using National Temperance Hospital ahead of its likely demolition for HS2 at Euston.
