A sparkling new art hub with 14 artists\u2019 studios, an education space and a top-notch new caf\u00e9 has opened in the northern reaches of London. This arty enclave in Tottenham is the new home for the Sarabande Foundation, which was established by the late fashion designer Lee Alexander McQueen to support emerging creatives.<\/p>\n

The new Sarabande space on 808-812 High Road is housed in adjoining town houses dating from the early 18th\u00a0century (look out for original architectural features such as centuries-old layers of wallpaper). Alumni artists such as Jo Grogan and Castro Smith have carved designs into the York stone floor of the caf\u00e9 while this year\u2019s impressive cohort of artist residents include Rizza Zahid, Tom Hallimond, Victoria Ruiz and Jack Laver. <\/p>\n
