Noncommercial House (aka the Freeshop, ex-Free School, etc.) was evicted on 30th November 2009, by high court bailiffs. Only one person was staying in the house, who left with his personal stuff. Most of the clothes and other giveaways were neatly packed and taken to a storage room by the executors. The implications are that the police now has around 100 shorts, 3 tesco uniforms, several dozen umbrellas of different sizes and descriptions, a strange book entitled “How to speak about books that you haven’t read”, and a box of single socks (they might find their other halves in the storage rooms).
Volunteers of the house arrived late, triggered by an SMS some time after noon, only to find the workers of a sytex company on site. There has been a previous eviction attempt, when a 12 hour notice was gives by the bailiffs. Haphazard barricades proved to be successful in warding off the executioners for over a month, but their second coming was not announced. Fortunately, most of the very important/useful things were already out of the house. An electric toy flute (to play the “Wake of the Freeshop”) and some copies of the new Dealing With Distractions maga-zine has been re-acquired after some social engineering, along with the lovely green bench. The latter now serves the falafel shop on the corner, commemorating the freeshop and replacing another broken/stolen one that was at the same place.
If you want to support the freeshop and possible future plans email noncommercialhouse…at…riseup.net, come along on Sunday 13th December or make use of that empty shop near you!

The rampART Social Centre was evicted Tuesday 15th October at 5:30am by police, bailiffs and a priest.
After over 5 years and many eviction scares it has finally happened… 3 people and a dog were inside when police attempted to chanisaw the door. They also had climbers going up to the roof conjuring up memories of the raid during the G20 in April. Police blocked the entrance to all three roads leading to the social centre with vans and their bodies preventing anyone getting close to the building. They are handing out a piece of paper with a telephone number to call to get belongings out of the building. If you are able to help move or store stuff please contact the rampART collective – rampart@mutualaid.org.

South London’s Library House Social Centre Needs YOU!
On the 17th it will be a year that the Library House in Camberwell has been open as one of the few squatted social spaces in south london and we’d like to mark that with a call out for new faces, new ideas and new energy! The Library House runs regular weekly events and also hosts parties, gigs and benefits and we need help to run all of these. Our collective meets on tuesdays at 8pm where we discuss everything about the running of the social centre and it’s a good place to start for anyone who wants to come down to get involved.
Although we’ve had a good run of it we’re never sure of how long we’ll actually have here, so come down while you can. It would also be great if there were a crew ready to run another social centre when this project passes on, and the Library House would be a great place to meet likeminded people interested in running a social centre, something south london is sorely lacking in…
Check out our blog http://thelibraryhouse.wordpress.com/ or just pop down. We’re at 52 Knatchbull Road, behind Minet Library. Tuesdays at 8pm are best, or just come round and say hi when you can.
Hope to see you soon…

This place is basically a giant Free Shop, for people to share, recycle what they dont need, take what they need. It is an amazing and very succesful project that started just over 3 months ago. It is also a very uplifting example of an anti-capitalist and anti-hierarchy pro-active stand. Not only rejecting what we see as a source of misery in our world (capitalism and all that…) but creating alternatives, directly, with our own tiny little hands! Direct action as a bunch of people simply getting together and doing what they want to do, and having fun doing it! 
It is opened to the public from Friday to Sunday 12-8pm.
There are also some regular events (like Spanish lessons, fillm screenings, discussions, workshops…)

Unfortunately, and its not unusual, the project relies on a small number of people. If you want to get involved and/or propose any event, give a hand in maintaining the space or just hang around, then come along on any open day or to our weekly “getting together” on tuesdays 7pm!
you can also contact us noncommercialhouse at riseup.net
hope to see you soon
love and rage!
