We finally actually moved in to our new building (16 Hanbury Street E 1) this morning. Inevitably not everything is ready, there are crates full of crap everywhere, the outside is still covered in scaffolding and I’m not entirely sure if the phones are working. But at least we’re all here.

The place feels very light and airy after our old building. It’s eerily quiet as we haven’t got the sound system hooked up yet. So no Peaches and ‘fuck the pain away’ making the foundations reverberate in the way we’re used to.

Most people had a little wander round the area at lunchtime to see what’s on our doorstep. Seems to be buzzing, with lots of cool shops and interesting little old streets. It all feels quite exciting – like first day of term at a new school.

Now, in which crate did we put the paper for the copying machines…?
