Connection Creativity Learning

Lab Central is a digital makerspace for people to meet, learn, create, and innovate at Redbridge Central Library in Ilford. It is a place for makers, tinkerers, and inventors to work together, imagine and try new things while also having lots of fun!

Redbridge Central Library

We offer a varied range of ‘tech’ events including 3D printing, coding, robotics, and virtual reality for people of all ages. At Lab Central you can try out equipment that you wouldn’t normally have access to and learn how to use it by participating in our events and clubs.

We also deliver a wide range of tech and digital workshops during the school holidays, to book these visit our Libraries BookWhen webpage and during Easter and summer our MegaMix Bookwhen webpage. You can also subscribe to our Libraries Newsletter. We are always looking for volunteers interested in tech to help us run our Lab FX activities and clubs. Visit our volunteering page for details on how to apply.

Tech and digital clubs

We aim to offer as many regular ‘tech’ clubs as possible at our libraries. We are looking for volunteers willing to start running new clubs. Contact us if you are interested!
