ARC Collective is a not-for-profit community space in Islington shaped by the local neighbourhood and built by local people, for the benefit of all. Designed with generosity at its core, we bring people together, offering connection and a chance to belong. Our community cafe sits at the heart of all our projects. An eclectic space offering a coworking area and relaxed seating both indoors and on our garden terrace. Designed to feel like a home from home, this is a place to connect with neighbours. Open daily from 8am until 2pm, our cafe offers a range of speciality coffees, cakes, sandwiches and a selection of breakfasts and lunches. On Wednesdays we operate as a Warm Space (or cool space in the summer) where all are welcome to come and enjoy a beverage and simply relax in a cosy armchair. Alongside the cafe, we also run a yoga studio, a programme of events and creative classes (such as live music gigs) a food bank and are custodians to 5 community garden spaces. We have a zero waste policy which we wish to expand.
