The End. The Beginning

Margery Street Community Hall

Margery Street Community Hall reopened after a period of reconstruction, serving as the long-awaited replacement for the former community room that once operated above the garages on Margery Street.

That previous space was part of Charles Simmons House and had served the vibrant community for decades, until redevelopment began, and access was revoked, leaving local residents without a communal hub for two years and prompting the council to pledge a replacement venue

Now, in 2025, the long-promised community hall has finally reopened, fulfilling that pledge and giving residents, local groups and businesses a bright, searchable, fully accessible space to gather, host events and build community for Islington residents once again.

Mission

Margery Street Community Hall exists to provide an affordable, welcoming, and fully accessible space where local residents, community groups and small businesses can come together.

We aim to strengthen social connections, support wellbeing, and celebrate the diversity of Islington by offering a hub for events, learning, creativity and collaboration.

Vision

We envision a thriving, inclusive community where everyone, regardless of age, background or circumstance, has a place to belong, share ideas and take part in shaping local life.

Margery Street Community Hall will stand as a sustainable, vibrant hub that empowers people, fosters opportunity and keeps the heart of our neighbourhood beating for generations to come.
