56a Infoshop is a self-managed social centre, archive, and shop based in Elephant and Castle, Southwark, London. Its collection centres around left and far-left materials including information on anarchism, anti-gentrification, to squatting.[2]

History

56a Infoshop was founded in 1991 initially as a squat and a self-managed social centre.[3] From here, it eventually had to accept an agreement in 2003[4] to pay a "peppercorn" rent by Southwark Council to remain functional within the area.[2][5]

Services

The infoshop offers mixed, volunteered services from selling books, book exchanges, free bike workshops, squatter workshops, free meeting spaces, and a open-access archival collection.[6]

They have an ongoing digitisation effort through their online catalogue and take on scan-a-thons to preserve collection material. External partners including other archival spaces like MayDay rooms.[10] 56a Infoshop also operates the online resources Southwark Notes[3] that "is a campaigning group and research project concerned with the impact of the regeneration and gentrification of Southwark".[4]
