This sprawling factory site once produced bicycles before being occupied and squatted by students in 2006. 'Rog' retains much of its original scruffy appearance and feel. There are few organised clubs here, but most nights you'll find informal drinking venues and occasionally live music. The residents are friendly and happy to talk about the squat's aims and purposes.
