In keeping with our DIY roots, our studios are maintained through a collaborative model. While SET manages the building and communal facilities, the day-to-day upkeep and internal maintenance of your individual studio are your responsibility. SET provides support for standard repairs free of charge. However, because we are a charity with limited resources, please be aware that lead times for non-urgent repairs can be significant. This approach is what allows us to keep our rents genuinely affordable and stable for the long term.

Move-in dates will vary depending on future studio releases. Members joining via the waitlist will be notified first when new studios become available.

Before booking a viewing or accepting a studio offer, please review the following information:

• Length of contract: Workspace is guaranteed until 2040. We require three months’ notice should you choose to leave your studio.
• Business rates: Studio holders at this site are individually responsible for paying their own Business Rates. We are on hand to guide you through registering for these.

Anyone can apply. We welcome a wide range of practices including painters, writers, designers, makers, and performers.

To keep our centres connected to their local communities, we particularly encourage applications from those living or working locally in Catford and the wider Borough of Lewisham.

Please note: For safety and insurance reasons, some activities aren’t permitted at SET Wimbledon, including: public events, hot works, live/amplified music without soundproofing, spray painting, tattooing, beauticians, or commercial client-facing activities.
