Library Refurbishment Programme

Following the successful refurbishment of Walthamstow, Leytonstone, Hale End and North Chingford Libraries, the next stage of the Libraries Refurbishment Programme has begun.

Major improvements will be made to Leyton Library and Lea Bridge Library as part of our programme to deliver exciting new spaces to study, learn, read and relax.

Our refurbishment of both libraries will include:

  • Improved access to the buildings
