Tower Hamlets Local History & Archives

Tower Hamlets Local History Library and Archives is currently offering a reduced service in preparation for forthcoming building works. They are open 9am - 5pm on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. They recommend that you make an appointment if you wish to use material on microfilm or microfiche

Temporary closure and reduced service

They will be closing the service temporarily from week commencing Monday 27 September 2010. They will take the opportunity of the disruption caused by the building works to rearrange and refresh the reading room, creating more space and better conditions for users and staff. The last day they will be open to the public prior to the closure is Saturday 25 September 2010.

Until then, they are currently offering a reduced service as follows:

Thursdays 9am - 5pm
Fridays 9am -5pm
Saturdays 9am - 5pm

Following building works, the library will re-open at the end of November 2010. During the closure they will offer a limited remote enquiry service via phone and email.
