Info

The rampART was a squatted social centre in the Whitechapel area of east London, England. It was established in a derelict building in Rampart Street which was previously used as an Islamic school for girls. The centre run as a private members club providing a space for a wide range of groups to carry out their activities. Like all such projects, it was managed by volunteers without any funding and with a strong emphasis on consensus decision making and DIY culture.
The centre was variously known as the rampART social centre, the rampART creative centre and social space, or more commonly as rampART.
The centre lost a court case brought by the owner and awaited eviction from 3 January 2008. It was finally evicted on 15 October 2009.
