UPCYCLE LONDON 🚲🧑‍🔧// An all-around community hub, space for workshops, bike repairs and more- @upcycleldn_ just about has it all. Founder Phil walks us through a first look at the multi-use space, first and foremost as a place for community.

Between bike repairs and servicing, the hub is a community space to run youth workshops for London’s young people to restore cycles.

They’ve already hosted painting nights and film screenings, and even provide a gallery space for artists and photographers to display their work. It’s a little bit of everything, right here in Angell Town.

Drop in for co-working and hot-desking, or reach out if looking to hire the space. The days may vary at @upcycleldn_ , check out their stories weekly to find out what’s on.

Thanks so much to @bbctheoneshow for having us and the amazing young people from @stepoutmentors on to talk about the bike repair project and our passion for cycling.

We’ve had a great response to the appeal with over 40 bike donations already! Keep an eye out and see where they end up next year. by @upcycleldn_

BlackFest 2026 is proud to present The Voicenote, directed by Kelechi Okafor, as part of our Independent Film Screening in London next week.

A look back at Clay Play at upCYCLE LDN: a FREE creative session bringing the community together through art and making.

Based in Brixton, upCYCLE LDN uses cycling as a tool to build confidence and create opportunities for young people, supporting them through practical skills, mentoring, training and accredited qualifications.
Certainly better than an AI prompt.
