Our new way of working for the foreseeable future:

COVID 19 is still with us and we need to make adaptations to the way the workshop will be operating. We will continue to operate with additional safety precautions and when entering the building please sanitise your hands and wear a facemask.

So please take a couple of minutes to read the information below so that you can inform yourself of how the sessions will work and what is expected of everybody in order that we all keep safe.

It is very important that if you think that you might have any COVID19 symptoms as per https://www.gov.uk/coronavirus or if you are living with or think you might have been in contact with anybody who has these symptoms that you do not attend the workshop.

We ask people to try to maintain 2- metre distancing at all times. Please wear a facemask to protect yourself and others.

We also ask people to come on their own with their bikes and not to group together during, or whilst waiting for, the session.

If you think you need certain parts like inner tubes, chain, gear changers, etc. please make sure to bring them with you because whilst we keep a few parts for emergencies, we have very little storage. Our volunteers would also be happy to advise on purchasing more complex parts. For the time being you cannot use our tools thereby, reducing the risk of transmission.

Our workshop is a completely voluntary run project and depends on donations, so please do make sure to bring enough cash to cover a donation towards the workshop and also any emergency parts that you might need to purchase from us.

Please note that people are expected to take their replaced parts and rubbish home with them.

As you can see we are trying our best to make these sessions as safe as possible for everybody, however people are expected to take responsibility for their own health and also that of others because dealing with this virus is a communal effort.

We hope that this system will work to the satisfaction of everybody, we ask people to cooperate and be patient. Be aware that you might have to wait for quite a while because of these arrangements and depending on the demand we might even have to turn people down on the day, though we would try our best not to.

It is important to note that sometimes bikes are dealt with first due to the complexity of the problem and how long it might take to resolve so it's not always on a first come first serve basis.

Limehouse Town Hall does not have any step-free access. We are aware that this is not an ideal situation as we aim for our workshops to be as inclusive as possible for everyone and will be looking into potential other locations across the borough with where we could hold future workshops.

Please note that the workshop this month is for over 18s only.
