Holborn Studios

23/07/2025

We have once again defeated plans to redevelop our home. This is the third time the High Court have ruled in our favour against the planning permission & upheld our mission to protect our business and lovely community. Thank you to all our clients, residents, neighbours, supporters, and our incredible legal team.

Holborn Studios’ second beehive is now live! 🐝
Tony at PLAN BEE installed our second colony of native black honeybees this week, and with all the beautiful weather we’ve been having, this year’s Holborn Honey crop is well on its way! 🌼🍯 The health benefits of raw honey are well known. It promotes gastrointestinal health, is an antioxidant, helps prevent degenerative diseases, works as an antidepressant, an anticonvulsant and has anti-anxiety benefits. And it is of course, delicious.

Here we go again! We know we’ve already asked a lot of you all and we appreciate everyone’s help and support over the past 11 (!) years but as our landlords are refusing to accept defeat we would really appreciate it if you could take a couple of minutes to click on this link and once again let Hackney council know why Holborn Studios needs to stay

And please share on your socials for us 🙏

Richard McLaren. A message from our founder Vincent McCartney

Hi Rich

Well you managed to drag me into the Instagramaverse. For you only, it’s worth it mate.

For your glorious daughters, for your lovely Mum and family and for the disputable reprobates and friends, who will probably get together real or online, I promise to definitely NOT to tell anyone about…..

1. Kevin the Gerbil (aka the Rat).
2. Peppermint Park.
3. Barry Ryan.
4. The “I thought it was going to be a big night”.
5. The Tennis Racket video.
6. The ‘friendly’ 11 a side.
And so much more.

I loved you mate and I always will. If there is another side, I hope to see you on it.

My good and trusted friend.

Vince - Holborn Studios - wasn’t it a really good laugh?

Absolute scenes tonight at Hackney town hall as the committee voted 5-1 in favour of rejecting the planning application! Finally someone is listening!

10/03/2022

*WE NEED YOUR HELP*
Anyone able to attend tonight’s meeting at 6.30pm at Hackney Town Hall please email [email protected]

We need to show the planning committee the support we have in the local community and the more people that show up the greater impact it will have. Thank you very much in advance! ✊
