The Central Library is the main library for the London Borough of Bexley, now located on Townley Road in Bexleyheath.[1] It also houses the borough's Local Studies and Archive Centre.[2]
The first Bexleyheath Central Library was opened in 1934, on Bexleyheath Broadway, it was known as "the wooden hut" and is now a cocktail bar.[3]
The building that now houses the library was first opened in 1980[4] with the final phase of its development in 1989.[5] It has since had more redevelopments and refurbishments, the most recent in 2005 when the library had a new entrance built.[6]
