The heritage centre and library building sits in a prominent position on Walworth Road. It adds to the streetscape of shops and restaurants, and helps to make Walworth a great place to visit.
The centre provides essential library services, including
- books for loan
- community meeting spaces
- children’s story and rhyme sessions
- computer services
- study space
It also includes heritage and cultural displays, showcasing some of the Cuming Collection.
Consultations
The community helped to inform our designs for this centre. Your passionate and enthusiastic responses told us that libraries and museums:
- are at the heart of our communities
- help our growth and learning throughout our lives
- are places everyone should feel welcome
- should provide a wide range of information, learning, activities and events
In response, we've tried to make a great place to gather and also to focus and enjoy on our own.
