Improvement Works at Idea Store Canary Wharf

Exciting changes are underway!

We're creating a new and improved children's library, adding more study space and improving facilities at Idea Store Canary Wharf. Thank you for your patience during this upgrade – it will be worth the wait!

This project will be split into three phases:

Phase 1: Creation of new Children’s Library

The first phase of construction will take place in the old Post Office unit next door, where a new and improved Children's Library is being created. While the work is underway, there may be some noise disruption, but all library services will continue as normal.

Work starts: Monday 27 January

Estimated duration: 10 weeks

Phase 2: Refurbishment of Idea Store

In the second phase, the main Idea Store building will be closed, and a very limited service will be provided from the new Children's Library.

Further details on available services will be shared closer to the time.

Estimated start date: Early April 2025

Estimated duration: 19 weeks

Phase 3: Reopening of Idea Store Canary Wharf

The final phase will see the completion of the works and the reopening of the newly refurbished Idea Store Canary Wharf with improved facilities. More details will be provided as the work progresses.

Estimated completion date: Mid-July 2025
