South Woodford Library and Gym

Friendly welcoming staff who are always happy to assist you. Great atmosphere. Long opening hours are great and events run for both children and adults are good fun too! Will be a returning library customer as long as I live in the area, thank you vision :)

The library has great disabled access, super clean toilets and a quiet area with plenty of sockets and usb ports to charge your device with - can get very busy and noisy during exam season, so look for a bigger library if you want to go during busier periods. Only library I know open till 10pm which is so handy during exam season.

If I could I would give it 0 stars. I was being helped by a lady named Mira or myra. She was supposed to help me with the printer & after 10 mins of waiting, she went back to her desk. When I told her I was waiting & that she could have informed me that the printer was not working, she said ‘I can’t roll out a red carpet for you’. She started to accuse me of being rude and began to argue with me. Never have I experienced such horrible customer service. Will never go back there. Disgusting service.

I would like to thanks Sue for always keep a smile to my kids and help me requesting books from other libraries.

Really nice staff. however place is way too expensive for the size/amount and quality of the gym. I tried both Woodford and South Woodford and they are both tiny and equipment is really old. I am paying all this money and I am not allowed to use the studio in order to do my stretching even when the gym is full and there are no classes planned. Library is tiny and from the 15-20 books I was looking I couldn't find any. Horrible ventilation and last time I visited Woodford branch they did not have water and only one tiny/dirty toilet to use. Finally I sent an email in order to cancel membership and not only they charged me an extra month, I had to pay fee for ''late payment'' without any notice. When I emailed them they said they did not get any emails even when I sent a screenshot as a proof. Never again. I am currently going to a bigger gym paying 30 pounds per month including all classes and modern facilities.

Alright, the gym doesn't get super busy and the facilities are good

I encountered a charming,friendly and helpful team on my visit to South Woodford library. I would like to thank Wa and Katy for their assistance when I needed to use a computer. They made me feel comfortable about being slightly technically challenged.

Visited the library on 23rd August 2021 around 5:15pm.
Very dissapointed with the female libarian who was on duty that evening.
My 8 year old daughter experienced discrimination by her.
My daughter was very excited to discuss the book review as she was completing the book challenge. The libarian informed me that she was short staffed and therefore couldn't complete the book review with my daughter. So we decided to browse for more books when i over heard another child discussing her book with the same libarian. We felt we were discriminated because of our ethnicity. We had come all this way as my daughter has a passion to read and librarys are supposed to encourage that. I iust hope this doesnt happen to anyone else as we should be treated equally.
