Hackspace parking spaces, we will stick large, rude,

I guess this also applies to people who are tenants in other Cremin Street Business Centre offices too? A number of times I tried to park in LHS spaces only to find other tenants cars in there.
Much shaking of fists was carried out.

Whilst wheel clamping on public spaces is now illegal the owner of the land can still use a penalty charge notice civil debt penalty system to fine offenders
This is what my local council (Islington) is doing to control estate parking. Previously they would clamp and fine - now they just fine with a PCN issued

Which is not legally enforcible and can safely be ignored. Companies cannot fine people.

Council is different - they are covered by Off-street Parking orders.

True, but in disputed cases it is now them that have to go to court for the money
rather than the driver. I would think this is rather difficult for them if you claim you
weren't the driver, as unlike official fines you are not legally required to state who
WAS the driver and the debt (it is not a fine) doesn't automatically default back
to the registered keeper.
The unfair terms in consumer contracts regulations will also apply, so charging
£150 for being in a parking space for 2 minutes is likely to get thrown out of court.
Basically, the racketeers are pretty much out of business.
