Opening times

We are continuing to improve facilities at Bethnal Green Library. This includes installation of brand new washroom facilities for male and female users, an accessible toilet as well as a family toilet and baby changing room.

We will remain open as usual during the works, however it is likely works will generate some noise. We are sorry for any inconvenience caused but we are hopeful you will enjoy the new facilities.

Disabled Access

Disabled Access: Partial – please call us before visiting to check whether the building is suitable to your needs.  We have two buildings that are fully accessible nearby, Idea Store Whitechapel [0.7 miles] and Idea Store Bow [1.8 miles].
