‘The Lawns’ computer centre

Hackney Silver Surfers (previously at 52 The Lawns, Matthias Road, N16 8QD) started in 2004 as an enlightened digital inclusion project, and ended as a thriving social inclusion lab and digital resource centre. The final days were photographed, videoed and blogged in great detail at sunset.lawns.org.uk — a Tumblr site that vanished without warning two years later.

A similar, flourishing project for older people in the same area of London - promoting digital inclusion and social inclusion together - is 50-plus Digital.
