MayDay Rooms is a safe house for vulnerable archives and historical material linked to social movements, experimental culture, and marginalised figures and groups. A site for gathering, holding, and animating documents and idioms of dissent which continue to offer a critically productive and emancipatory relation to the turbulent present. It is geographically located in Central London, but linked in collaboration, inspiration and practice with an international gathering of common and concurrent initiatives.

Full report 88 FLEET STREET MEETING NOTES
Installation of toughened glass on Floor 1. to get the window seating areas back into use. Completion due early March 2013
The main staircase recovered and brought back into use. Floor 1. stone paving work and replacement nosings. “Poor condition of repaired nosings on the bottom flights between the entrance and the first floor. Chris (on site operative) is to expose the nosing construction on several treads to determine whether repairs could be limited to the 75-100mm wide concrete repairs. Some repairs at least, e.g., half landing nosings, would require a wide repair due to the depression in the centre caused by wear.” Fleet Street Meeting Notes. February 2013
