About
Walworth Library & Heritage Centre
Walworth Library & Heritage Centre is a contemporary library, heritage and community venue on Walworth Road, a short distance from Elephant & Castle. The modern building combines library facilities with displays from Southwark's historic collections and two small meeting spaces available for private hire.
The principal Meeting Room accommodates up to 26 people and provides a practical setting for meetings, presentations, training and small events. A second four-person space, the Faraday Room, is available for smaller meetings and interviews.
The venue is fully accessible and benefits from straightforward public transport connections at Elephant & Castle, making it a useful lower-cost option for organisations looking for a simple meeting space in this part of South London.

Facilities and Services
Walworth Library & Heritage Centre provides straightforward room hire rather than a full-service event operation. The main Meeting Room includes WiFi, a flipchart and flexible tables and chairs, while the smaller Faraday Room provides basic meeting furniture with limited internet access.
Catering is not provided. Drinks, snacks and finger food can be brought into the meeting spaces with prior agreement, but hot food is not permitted. Alcohol cannot be brought into or consumed anywhere on the premises.

Why Hire
Walworth Library & Heritage Centre is best suited to organisers who need a simple private meeting room without the cost or additional services of a conventional commercial venue.
Its location is particularly useful for organisations working in Southwark or looking for an alternative to more expensive meeting space around Elephant & Castle. Public transport connections are strong, while the main room already provides the basic facilities needed for a small meeting or presentation.
The building itself also has more character than a standard community meeting facility, combining contemporary architecture with Southwark's heritage and cultural collections.
For the right brief, its appeal is straightforward: an accessible, affordable and well-connected meeting space for small groups in central South London.
