Following the success of the 2024 Open House Festival edition, we'll be opening The Loop to the public again. Step inside the studios led by local pioneers in sustainable design and meet the founders behind the most exciting eco-conscious brands.
The Loop is a space located in Hackney Wick that is host to circular economy businesses, helping them to scale their operations by connecting like-minded peers, helping trial new processes and undertaking R&D activities locally.
Visitors will have access to the warehouse building that is not usually accessible to the public day-to-day. They can connect and visit the studios of some of London’s leaders in the circular economy, learn about the unique community ownership model behind the project, plus engage in an exhibition and workshops.
The building will be open from 5 to 9 pm on Thursday 18th September 2025.
In addition, visitors can visit Growing Concerns, who are trading in the yard at The Loop. This much-loved East London garden centre has found a new life at The Loop and allows local people to access a wide range of interesting and unusual plants, which change season to season.
The participant studios are:
- Zhero
- Fantasy
- Looply
- Roosa
- Are You Mad
- Silo
- Reuser
Accessibility notes
The ground-floor studio space is accessible, but the first floor unfortunately is not wheelchair accessible.
There might be some noise, since participants will have the option to see maker spaces. However, this will be limited and not constant.
