PlushSE16 as a business in the community has evolved over 20 years into now what we call HUBSE16. The energy of HUBSE16 is of sensory elements encompassing music, food and a community appreciation for art and film shared with a sense of community which are all integral to the growth and sustainability of a diverse culture in SE16.
Disregarded by Developers during Planning, we are taking control of our future, with Canada Water fully underway by British Land we're dreaming our our vision.

BUSINESS RELOCATION -
OUR FIGHT TO STAY LOCAL
We are incubators of the importance of culture in the community.
We do not need permission.
We will not be pressured as a cultural business by those with financial powers.
As community we are the power, we are the definition of social purpose.
