Beyond the Nuclear Flat - community living in London

​This event will bring together organisers, residents, and community builders who are experimenting with intentional housing models in London. The aim is to explore governance, admission processes, conflict resolution, and guest policies within communal living spaces. We will focus not only on how houses function internally, but how they relate to the wider housing crisis and the social realities of London.

A growing number of houses in London are living intentionally: co-ops, shared houses, community-run homes, coliving spaces, and informal collectives. Some are structured and application-based. Others are organic and relational.

​At the same time:

• ​The rental market is unstable and unaffordable for many. & there is increasing precarity.

• ​There are experiments in governance emerging across the city.

• ​There is a question of how intentional communities relate to unhoused people and housing injustice.

​This event creates a space to surface:

• ​Governance models

• ​Admission systems

• ​Shared application processes

• ​Guest policies and hospitality norms

• ​Conflict resolution structures

• ​Cross-house coordination

​Your hosts!
