Lambeth Palace Library

Lambeth Palace Library, founded in 1610 and one of the earliest public libraries in the UK, has a purpose-built home for the first time, designed by Wright & Wright Architects. Completed in 2020, the new Library is a sensitive addition to the site of the Grade I listed Palace and is the first new building on the site for 185 years. The façade is designed in homage to the Tudor gate tower of the Palace and blends into the red brick perimeter wall of the gardens. Nestling amongst mature trees at the north end of the garden, the location preserves the collection’s historic link to the Palace, while increasing public access to the Library.

Their stunning modern venue hire includes their conference room and roof terrace, with panoramic views of London - this is a flexible space that accommodates up to 70 people for a range of events including meetings, lectures, conferences and periodic public openings.
