In 2018 Action OKR started a crowdfund campaign to set up ‘Urban Room Old Kent Road’. The plan was for a dedicated space where residents, businesses, researchers, planners, the council, developers and others can come together to debate and plan the future of Old Kent Road. The crowdfund campaign was a success raising over £57,000 including £15,000 from the London Mayors office as part of crowdfund London and £26,125 from Southwark council. Southwark Council decided to set up the space themselves and invited Action OKR to use their space.

Action OKR have run a number of meetings and events in the space including a workshop event for the London Festival of Architecture in 2019 which displayed a scale model of Old Kent Road displaying the current redevelopment plans (see images).
