What is a warm space?

As the cost of living and heating our homes increases, we've opened a network of warm spaces across the borough. In these spaces, you can keep warm, have a cup of tea or take part in an activity this winter. In some spaces, you can also get food and advice about the cost of living.

This page lists warm spaces in Southwark. You can also visit the Community Southwark map of warm spaces or search the Warm Welcome map for spaces and activities outside Southwark.
