York Gardens Library

Really friendly and well informed staff. Baby rhyme time group is brilliant (and free) - its lively and well organised, the lady who runs it is a darling and should work with children full time :)

Has people people smoking weed, cooking BBQS and drinking right outside all day long and the police or wandsworth council will not do anything about it because they are scared to. Dont believe me? Then see for yourself, complain to Wandsworth council and see what they tell you.. They openly admit they are scared to go there and stop it.

What happened to the community dispersal orders they place on other areas?

Try to cook a bbq in Battersea park or drop a bit of litter and they'll be all over you with fines and court dates like you've commited the worst crime in history.

Super. Literary Haven. Lots of space to read and study on the spot. More than in other libraries. Beautifully situated in small green - York Gardens.

There’s a lady in there ie the manager woman whose sooo rude to the outside community or to the people who use the surrounding park where the library is located it’s a wonder anyone wants to go in there, she calls police on children who are having a simple water fight outside the premises she complains about people gathering in the park with their families, and she’s always acting like she own the perimeter, she’s very rude to her staff choosing to talk at them instead of to them, arrogant and obnoxious is an understatement. No wonder the kids would rather be outside then there reading as a kid I used to love the library but if I was a kid and she was there my mum would be writing me sick notes just I wouldn’t have to go in there...if adults who are ment to be the face of a learning facility are disrespectful to the young youths in the community how are you expecting them to have respect for you? Sack her she’s horrible

Have been visiting this library for many years. It's quite small but great selection of books for the little one and reservations easily obtained from the Lavender Hill site.

Great staff, we hire the space for a Birthday party, they are amazing!

It looks good but plants needs care and the grass needs water.

Lovely little Library with very helpful staff.
Especially Davide and Lesley.
