The Space is a new community centre on the Elsinge Estate in north Enfield. Designed as a non-secular replacement for the existing St John’s Church, The Space will be a transformative building for the community, including a cafe, nursery, multi-use hall, and meeting rooms.

The project aims to provide a welcoming and inclusive hub with programmes to improve social cohesion, such as intergenerational opportunities to combat loneliness. It will provide a safe space for children and young people, and create a structure for activities to meet the needs of people of all backgrounds and abilities.
