About the Undercraft

The Undercraft in Camden is a unique space, transformed from a vacant car park beneath the Ludham and Waxham Estate in Gospel Oak. It brings together artists and makers, community groups and local people in a thriving arts space, with much-loved cafe Mother Canteen next door.

There are 34 artist studios in the space, with single (129 sq. ft.) and double (258 sq. ft.) sized spaces. The building offers central heating, excellent WiFi, communal spaces, and is fully accessible.

Between Gospel Oak, Hampstead Heath and Belsize Park, it’s convenient for artists across London, with excellent transport links.

ACAVA Undercraft Studios are on a long lease with our landlord Camden Council.
