Yes, this is super cool. I think every engineer should bookmark this link, saves the trouble of visiting 10s or 100s of websites in order to get to relevant material.

Agree. Every engineer and anyone else interested in building. Wish there was a TechShop in London.

Ok, it's not TechShop.. but I'm surprised by how many people don't know about https://london.hackspace.org.uk/
Have you given it a try? There are a significant number of tools available: https://wiki.london.hackspace.org.uk/view/Equipment
A lot of things on that equipment list are inoperable. Is that a normal state of affairs, or is today just a bad day to look at the list?
It's not entirely unusual. I've been a member for about 6 years now and, candidly, it's in a permanent state of disarray. I've not been there in about 7 months as I've been out of London but I don't imagine much has changed.
I would say - don't let it put you off. The Hackspace is more than the sum of its tools. In any event there's a lot there including some fantastic equipment. The out of order equipment is more often a work in progress than it is abandoned kit.
