The Malthouse Studios view from the river

Arc moves into new Cultural and Creative Industries Centre

We are delighted to announce our move this month to our new home at The Malthouse Studios in Barking!

 

The Malthouse, Barking is a newly refurbished warehouse in Barking set in the heart of an ambitious creative industry regeneration scheme for East London. Situated on the river Roding, the local environment is visually rich in the industrial heritage of the East London river basin and canal network. It has excellent transport links being near the A13 and A406 North Circular junction, and Barking Station (mainline rail and District and Hammersmith & City underground lines) and is a 15-minute walk from the town centre.
