South Kilburn Studios

Now extended until March 2012

The Architecture Foundation, together with the South Kilburn Neighbourhood Trust, Brent Council and Practice Architecture has regenerated the site of 2a Canterbury Road in South Kilburn, London transforming this building into a series of studio spaces available to those in the creative industries.

The tenants of South Kilburn Studios have pledged - in lieu of rent payments - to train a young person from the local area, helping them learn the skills of their profession and build a portfolio in their chosen trade.

All our traineeships are currently underway though we will continue to accept applications on a rolling basis so please do still feel free to apply. Further details can be found here: www.southkilburnstudios.org/trainees/

South Kilburn Studios also plays host to a series of weekly workshops and monthly open studios all of which are free and open to all.
