Limehouse Library has been awakened from an eighteen-year slumber to take an active role in London’s cultural scene once more.

Construction of the library began in 1881, and it was operational from 1901, thanks to the support of the journalist and philanthropist John Passmore Edwards. It was closed in 2003, after more than a century of service. Now it is on the verge of reopening its doors, as a multifunctional venue hosting a boutique hotel, a library and a school of the culinary arts.
