Squatting in London

[u/Illustrious-Way-1095]

I know someone who would like to get into squatting in London and I was wondering where they should start. Specifically, I was wondering if there were any places in London where they could squat? If not, how would they be able to find a safe place to squat? And where should they get advice on squatting? Thank you!

Why is squatting solo impossible?

i wouldnt say its impossible, i've done it before but at the very least at the beginning it's nice to have a crew to support each other and resist any eviction attempt. generally it's nice to live with people to share cooking and stuff i guess too - depends on the people though heeh

Woah, I've found a rabbit hole. This probably has to be the most interesting conversation I've had on Reddit.

Thank you for this insight and how much effort you put into explaining it to me. I don't plan on squatting but I'm sure someone who is will read this.

I've learned a lot about the community just from this one comment. Thanks.

I came here to say the same. I squatted in London for maybe 7 or 8 years and 56a was the place to go to meet people

I squat in london. There's a really vibrant squatting community here , more connected than other cities . There are practical squatting sessions each month where you can get tips and meet people to squat with. I wouldnt reccomend squatting alone
