Islington West Library

Very nice staff that creates a warm atmosphere and a sense of community. Very efficient service: if at all possible they will get you a book or a film over from other libraries in no time and let you know as soon as it arrives. Highly recommended.

Grade II Listed early Twentieth Century library with unusual and striking exterior architectural features including alphabet letters carved into the stone tympani and impost blocks. This eye-catching and attractive building overlooks Thornhill Square and warrants a detour if adrift thereabouts.

Not the place to come if you want somewhere quiet to read or study. It is the staff who are the ones who make noise, conversing loudly, calling to each other across the room and making no attempt to speak quietly. Whilst this is my first time here, it is apparent that this is the norm.

Very nice staff, a lot of new books and movies, I'm happy to have this library almost next door!

Islington library within a lovely historic building, on Bridgeman Road near the junction with Caledonian Road. The library itself is very small but the staff are friendly and helpful and the atmosphere is relaxed and peaceful if not actually quiet. Check out the other goings-on in the building too.

Lovely old building loads of character a hidden gem
