About this library

The library first opened on 20 March 1968 by Field Marshal Sir Gerald Templer, the Lieutenant of Greater London. The building has a distinctive circular shape with a raised dome roof studded with 16-sided huge clerestory windows and finished in green copper. It is a Grade II listed building and was designed by the renowned modernist architect, Sir Fredrick Gibberd.

In 2024 the library underwent a extensive refurbishment project. The project was supported with funding from Vision, Redbridge Council and the Libraries Improvement Fund administered by Arts Council England. The fund aims to transform public library services across England by upgrading buildings and enhancing digital infrastructure to better meet the evolving needs of users.
