Launch of Angel Yard

Angel Yard - a creative hub containing 35 affordable workspaces designed for young local entrepreneurs, was launched in September 2023. The launch event took place as part of the London Open House weekend around Angel Edmonton.

Supported by the Mayor's Good Growth fund and Enfield Council, the units between Joyce Avenue and Snells Park estates were transformed from formerly derelict garages and designed by architects Jan Kattein and constructed by local firm Sullivan Brothers Ltd.

Angel Yard is managed by Launch-it – a social enterprise charity who support young entrepreneurs to launch their creative visions, jumpstart business ideas, enhance their skills and benefit from other support and opportunities.

Half of the units in Angel Yard are 'incubator' spaces, allowing tenants to rent these at an affordable (and below market) rate for 2 years, build up their reserves and develop their business, before being supported to move on to other workspaces, and allowing a new cohort of emerging businesses to move in and grow.

Current tenants of Angel Yard include an acting coach, architects, illustrator, wig-maker and an aquaponics educator.
