We Made That partnered with Tom Fleming Creative Consultancy and Hatch Regeneris to develop a detailed plan for Lewisham to become one of the Mayor of London’s first designated Creative Enterprise Zones - districts of London for which a set of targeted and tailored planning, investment and support activities will be developed.
The Lewisham Creative Enterprise Zone focuses on New Cross and Deptford in the north of the borough – which have an array of distinctive cultural and creative assets stretching across all art-forms and converging commercial and social outcomes. Anchored by Goldsmiths University and cultural institutions such as Trinity Laban Conservatoire, the Albany and Cockpit Arts, the district is becoming a vital cluster for London’s creative economy. The proposed Lewisham North CEZ better connects and amplifies what exists by supporting creative businesses to develop strong roots through affordable and appropriate workspace and access to the skills, expertise, facilities and connections of education and cultural institutions.
