London based experimental media centre 'Backspace' opened in 1996.   Through its provision of web services for locals and enthusiasts it became a place frequented by artists and those wanting to experiment with the emerging internet technology.  It closed in late December 1999 and is now a Starbucks coffee shop. 

As part of Node-London a 'reanimating' of Backspace took place at the Starbucks on Sunday 5th March 2006.
