Rooms of opportunity, wherever you live.
Room Too repurposes underutilised spaces across Southwark into free, safe, resource-equipped rooms where young people can learn, grow and thrive, regardless of their housing situation.

We repurpose the space that's already there.
Rather than build new infrastructure, we transform underutilised venues, offices and meeting rooms into study hubs, third spaces and aspirational environments where young people can focus, unwind and be inspired.
Educational: Study Hubs
Quiet, resource-equipped rooms with longer hours than local libraries.
Wellbeing: Third Spaces
Zones for rest, socialising and headspace, outside the crowded home.
Aspirational: Inspiring Futures
Sessions inside corporate and creative venues, with industry exposure.
Safe and supervised
Trained supervisors and safeguarding built into every site.
Started in a bathroom. Growing across Southwark.
Room Too was founded by 19-year-old Oluferanmi (Olu) Balogun, who grew up in a two-bedroom flat with a large family and often studied in the bathroom to find quiet. She co-designed the initiative with 20+ young people, parents and professionals, and secured local council support and initial funding for the first pilot sites.
