It seems Tuesday is the new Sunday.
I’ve been putting off this email as I have some unfortunate news. Very sadly the deal we were working on for the property in Hammersmith has fallen through. This has also caused us to adjust our timelines significantly. We are figuring out exactly what that means for when we will finally open the doors to Frontier Tower London, but we will no longer be opening in the summer.
I am sorry to disappoint, but believe me, no one is more disappointed by this than me!
What is not stopping are the events (see the salon below), the community and the excitement it has been a pleasure and a privilege to foster these past months. This is a wonderful but scary time to be building, taking bold bets and dreaming of a brighter future. I will continue to do everything I can to support that and remain open to all of your crazy ideas!
If you want to hear more about what the future holds, come join the town hall call tomorrow. Otherwise say hi in the WhatsApp group - or speak to Lachlan.
This newsletter will continue to highlight stories and events from across the community at a(n approximately) weekly cadence! If that’s what you love, do please stick around.
I’ll also have some updates to londoncalling.guide very soon. 👀
