Nightplace London is running out of space. Or so it feels. Community groups struggle to find a place to meet, businesses can’t find workspace and music venues are shutting their doors. All space is getting too expensive. But after 6pm many buildings sit empty, and the suburban high streets and stations are quiet. What if the problem was not the amount of space, but access to it? Embracing the opportunity of new technology and improved connectivity, the app Nightplace will allow Londoners access to more affordable space.

What do you need space for?

Space holders

Just search for the type of space you need, the area, and how long you need it for.

You will then be connected with a network of space holders showing reviews and space types. You can then book the perfect space.

Spaceholders include businesses, Councils and individuals. Space may be offered for income, to support community use or promote arts and innovation.

The London wide opportunity Nightplace would initially focus on a number of pilot areas around tube stations. This would add on the value of the Night Tube and take advantage of existing infrastructure. With stations at the heart of many neighbourhoods and hives of activity in the day, there is the opportunity to use them as catalysts for citywide nighttime transformation.

Activating the high streets Imagine walking out of your local suburban station in the evening to discover a vibrant high street. With sports classes in adjacent buildings, markets with local products, food stalls selling tasty food. By connecting Londoners with space, Nightplace changes the perception of many of the areas by bringing life into the neighbourhoods, driving the local economy and strengthening communities to ensure that London remains one of the world’s most exciting and creative cities.
