A space for connection, culture and collective action
The PLUSH community began as a physical place in Southwark, where people came together every day through work, culture, conversation and support. Although the original site was lost through redevelopment, the community that grew around it did not disappear.
Today, PLUSHSE16 continues as a growing network of people who believe that culture, community spaces and local economies matter. Our work now connects residents, organisers, creatives, researchers and policymakers who are interested in building a fairer city.
This community group exists to keep those connections alive and to support conversations around displacement, regeneration, culture and social value in London.

Our Work Today
Since the displacement of the PLUSHSE16 site, our work has expanded into advocacy, storytelling and policy engagement.
Through the NoPriceOnCulture movement, we continue to highlight the importance of protecting cultural spaces and community businesses that form the social infrastructure of London.
We work alongside community groups, campaign networks and policy spaces to ensure that regeneration does not come at the cost of the people who built the neighbourhoods in the first place.
