Bankrupt Banks to be Occupied Centers?
Brilliant work . Huge building with over 500 rooms seized by Occupy london as a ‘BANK OF IDEAS’ for the winter. Near Liverpool Street station – all support needed. Tops – keep the rolling occupations mobile. Very encouraging move – congratulations!.
LATEST:
A car load of City police have just turned up. For some reason the police are heavily armed – even a machine gun. No idea why they’re here.

Bank of Ideas
Welcome!
The Bank of Ideas is situated on Sun Street, Hackney in an abandoned office block purchased several years ago by the bank UBS. It is an enormous space complete with a 500-seater lecture hall.
It has been opened to the public for the non-monetary trade of ideas to help solve the pressing economic, social and envionmental problems of our time.
There is also room for community groups, youth clubs, nursuries and other public services that have lost their space due to Government spending cuts.
Artists, performers and creatives are welcome to come entertain and to help transform the space. We also encourage games, workshops and skillshares on anything from yoga to yahtzee.
The only prerequisite is that this space is not for financial transactions. Trade in ideas or skills, but no one should need to pay to take part in the Bank’s activities.
