History
The project has been run by Camden Town Unlimited, the business improvement district for Camden Town since 2009.[4][5][6] Camden Collective carries out projects including public art, co-working spaces, pop up shops, accelerator and business support courses.[7][8][9][10][11] The project relies on grants and raising revenue to support its activities.[12][13][14]
Participants
Notable businesses using the co-working spaces include SB.TV, Clime-it Brothers, Sudden Black and Stemettes.[15][16] A Channel 4 documentary series, Bedroom to Boardroom that followed SB.TV was filmed in Camden Collective's co-working space.[17] PayneShurvell, Amy Winehouse Foundation, Hospital Records and UK band Enter Shikari have previously used the Camden Collective pop up shops.[18][19][20][21]
Properties
Camden Collective re-purposes previously vacant and underused properties for its activities.[22] 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.[23][24]
In 2013, the project opened a 3-storey retail and co-working space on Camden High Street.[25][26][27]
From 2015 to 2017, the project used National Temperance Hospital ahead of its demolition for HS2 at Euston.[28][29][30]
In 2017, the project opened its 19th building, a co-working space, in a TfL-owned property in Camden Town.[31]
