WELCOME TO SOUTH CHINGFORD COMMUNITY LIBRARY

Located in South Chingford, we welcome you to the home of some ten thousand books  and many weekly events. From reading to coffee mornings, quizzes, table top sales, and a play area, everyone is welcome to join us!


OUR PATRON

We are most grateful to our constituency MP and former Conservative Party Leader Sir Iain Duncan Smith for becoming our Patron. Sir Iain has been a staunch supporter of the Community Library throughout its entire life and has often successfully defended the organisation in times of peril.
