Inside PopHub

A workspace shaped by the people who use it.

Fashion makers, photographers, performers, filmmakers, architects, illustrators, charities and small teams, working alongside each other rather than around each other.

The charity behind PopHub

PopHub is how Interim Spaces puts empty space to work.

Interim Spaces is a registered charity. Its purposes are to prevent or relieve financial hardship and unemployment, and to advance education in and promote the arts for the public benefit. At 41 Whitcomb Street, PopHub turns otherwise empty floors into affordable workspace as a practical way of doing that.

Building potential since 2016.
