Peckham Library

I love libraries, they usually are a very good reflection of the community. And this one is no exception.
Peckham is a very vibrant neighbourhood and you can feel that in the library. It can be pretty busy out here, sometimes noisy. Contradictory for a library, isn’t it? Well, that’s the charm of Peckham Library, you find every kind of people here. And indeed, a lot of cultural content, which is what is library is here for initially.
Whatever you fancy reading will be here: history, biographies, novels, Sci-​Fim encyclopaedia, etc. Everything. Same thing for DVD, if you’re of those who still uses them. They have poetry classes, reading classes for kids. And much more.
Personally, the library is a good workspace for me, mainly because it give me direct material for what I do. And I can rest a bit with some great readings after work. In short, I love Peckham Library and it’s a bit of an escape heaven for me :)

I like Peckham, it’s got a bad reputation but it feels like proper London to me. It’s a shame that it’s library follows the same ugly trend as those across London though I will say that their staff are very helpful and there’s tone of non-​English language books which reflects the community.

I had a very friendly welcome and great service at Peckham Library. Booking a time slot for computer access was easy and staff were very friendly and helpful. Just what you’d expect from a public library.

this library situated in peckham won an award for its architecture.
there are many floors in the library and many area and sections for different use… council office is situated there, meeting rooms and much more… on the top floor lies the library, very large and with spectacular views… seperate computer, children, adults area… many librarians on hand to help out… many desk areas and books, cds, dvds and refrerence area… even the toilets are spectacular… worth a visit
