OUR
MISSION
2020 was a pivotal year. For work and for the city. We learned to love our professional independence. And we grew to value the people and local services that surround us. In short, we changed. And not for the worse. At ARC Club, we are committed to creating a new kind of shared space to ensure our built environment keeps up.

ARC
/a:k/
- A small part of a greater circle or cycle.
- A smooth and easeful change of direction.
- A non-linear movement (through life).
At ARC Club, we create workplaces for the entire neighbourhood. How? By championing local talent and businesses, providing access to professional resources and working with grassroots and community-led organisations.
By occupying vacant commercial real estate, we aim to provide new energy and purpose to the UK high street and an inclusive and equitable hub for people who live locally.
We began in a residential area of East London. Where do you think we should go next?
ARC Club Homerton is the first step in our mission.
