Community creative hub · Kensal Road, W10
Studios, mentors and a stage for West London's next generation.
369 Kensal is a community-led creative hub where young people can record, film, design, build and perform – for free – and turn that creativity into confidence, skills and real opportunity.
Why 369?
Three numbers. One journey.
Our name draws on Nikola Tesla's fascination with the numbers 3, 6 and 9 – the "key to the universe." For us, they map the path every young person takes through the hub.

EnquireWhy now
The building is ready. The doors are opening.
Too many young people in West London are shut out of the creative industries – not by talent, but by access to space, equipment, networks and mentoring.
With around £523,000 of capital investment already secured for a fully equipped facility at 300 Kensal Road, every pound of new funding goes directly into programmes, participants and measurable outcomes.
