Hello all,
To celebrate our birthday, there must of course be cake! And so we have the first DSFL Bake-off....
We're still working out the kinks but if you're interested in submitting a cake email the Food Collective at cafe@diyspaceforlondon.org
... All cakes must be vegan, extra points if it's gluten free!

it's so good. I love it, everything about it is just perfect and just right. I love the vinyl and cassette shop. The vegan cafe looks wonderful. I'm looking forward to eating there at some point. I went to a gig there a couple of months ago and it was very enjoyable.
amazing place, The world need more Diy space.
a great venue for accessibility that understands accessibility doesnt just mean wheelchair access!! a safe haven for queer people to meet, socialise and have fun :~~))
There needs to be so many more spaces like this. Fully accessible for wheel chair users, collectively owned, engaged with local communities, always supportive of events that challenge white supremacist, heteropatriachal capitalism as much as they realistically can be. This place is like a magnet for radical queer babes and allies. Would recommend.
The staff are super friendly and make you feel so welcomed. It's an amazing place. Great shows, and they offer really nice chilled water with lime in, nice touch. Cool books and sofas, can also charge your phone. 10/10 would recommend.
Superb, well organised, well run and very friendly. Had awesome vegan food and look forward to returning. Excellent all round.
Pound for pound, this is one of the best clubhouses i've ever putted into. Great selection of clinky drinks and fantastic lounge area with friendly members throughout.
London DIY space is something to believe in and get excited about!
I really love this place. I was there yesterday for the Jeffrey Lewis matinee show and it has such a good community atmosphere, a real welcoming and supportive place, hosting an incredible record shop, a very cheap bar and a second-hand book stall. I'm really looking forward to coming back.
I can't put into words how great this place is. Cheap bar, super friendly staff, no bad vibes and just being there and seeing what has been done and created out of nothing other than a love of wanting to support/help music and many other great things is almost over whelming. Everyone involved has done something that I didnt think would be possible in today's rent crisis, but they have. And they have all done a great and wonderful job at it as well.
Great venue hidden away but well worth finding, excellent ethos behind it all and very friendly staff, had fun performing and will definitely be back!
Great space, great people. With music venues being shut down all over London at the moment, more spaces like this are needed to keep the spirit alive, well done guys
Great space run by volunteers, arts and culture that has not yet been gentrified!
Great community space, good prices, excellent sound system and cool people! Awesome nights entertainment especially joy riders!
Dream venue <3 By far the best venue in London!! if not the world <3 Love all the volunteers there so much. We will continue to book and attend all the events there!!
Cool people, cool place.Well worth the trip from Stockholm, keep up the good work.
Best place in london for gigs and chilled atmosphere and people
Beautiful space full of free souls. I love this venue - a place where you can be yourself and free from judgement. I love this place. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Awesome. Loved how accessible and accommodating it was- with the chill/quiet room (a great thought for people with anxiety or AS or just people who like to take a time out sometimes) and loved the fact it was an all gender loo which also had menstrual hygiene products on the side. I thought that was great. Lovely volunteers, good prices, wonderful atmosphere. Would defo attend more often if I lived nearer and would love to volunteer sometime when I'm in better financial situation and can afford travel to London more easily.
Love! <3
