    Who says you need to go to a Library, just to study. Take walk with me. As you enter straight away…read moreyou see this huge space in front of you some times it's taken up with old ex library books which are on sell. Some times it's just an empty space so you have room to breathe. Ground Floor is for the cuties, because they have a children's section ranging from baby books to post toddlers, toddlers all the way up to teenagers. That's on your right as you enter. On your left they have the adult section range of books from a range of authors weather you're a romantic and love to be swept away by love stories to if you're a vampire waiting to feed on the next best horror book. Maybe there are a few basic skills you want to improve, there are books to help with that and the best thing isthey are just so simple. First Floor: Exhibition Area Asians history as well as present one of they're focus is around 'The oldest and most famous highway in the Indian sub-continuant'. Gloucester and York Rooms Two rooms used for meetings, public meetings, fun events for family and children. Toilets. Second Floor: Reference Library some where you can study, read the newspaper surf the internet. Redbridge Museum is on this floor which gives you the history on Redbridge, Gants Hill Dagenham, Wanstead Park with brail translation and touch screen information.

    As local librarys go this one is pretty good. Spread over many floors it quite distinctive and has…read morelots of services for people of all ages. Even has a local museum of ilford. The reference library is very good and about the same of most library in this class. On the ground floor they have a lively main area and you can use pcs if you wish. Also they rent out other media of most of librarys now like cds and dvds. Its location is right of of them main high street and has a car park very near by

    This place is nothing short of brilliant. Yet again the Brits show their superb talent at putting…read moretogether a fine museum. Even though the building is old the exhibits don't look like they have been there too long. Congratulations to whoever designed the layout which is quite modern. It is an easy 1/4 mile walk from Canary Wharf tube and you should allow 2 - 3 hours.

    It's free! (but…read moremake a donation, mmmkay?) Keep cool things in London free. Or at least buy a little something from the cafe or gift shop. My husband thought it would be hilarious to buy a little rubber toy rat for our son. It's consequently freaked out every person that has come to visit us. It's now mysteriously absent -- makes me think the babysitter threw it out. Regardless! Support given. We were meeting some friends nearby at *Tom's Kitchen for brunch (recommended!) and decided to use the Canary Wharf excursion to check out Museum of London Docklands, where a soft play area was rumored to be housed. And indeed -- a very nice little area for the little ones can be found here. There's a pretty large, enclosed area containing: water/sand play (probably best for 2+), HUGE building blocks section, fun little toys about shipping and transport (they manage to make them fun and durable), and of course, a soft play centre with requisite slide, nets, climbing and big soft squishy shapes. Bookings for these sessions can be made in advance -- though I couldn't figure out how, so we just turned up on a Sunday and lucked out that there was space. IF it is a busy time of year (half term, etc) I do suggest calling ahead to book. It runs in sessions so once the end of the session comes, everyone is out and a new batch is let in. This worked well for us as we spent about 40 minutes inside...but our timing was purely luck. Next time we'll book and know when it starts/ends. We took the opportunity to view the museum -- also very child and pram friendly. It's very nicely curated, interesting and most importantly with a child -- relatively fast. You can go through the entire Museum in about 20 minutes, should you need to. Situated right on the Docklands (obviously) this is a great kid-friendly stop if you are out seeing the sights or visiting the area.

Things inlcuded within are the first ever engine powered car,an orginial lock up cell,numerous Waltham Forest related items such as Halex/Xylonite etc. There are also things such as a roman sarchophagus,old signs,a recreation of a Victorian Parlour Room and a 1940's room Its free entry so youve got a great little museum to look around for nothing. The staff are great also. If you read this guys thanks for your time,sorry i havent been to visit for a long time!!!!!

Within sight of the historic St Mary's Church, The museum is situated in the old parish workhouse (with a suitably grim message over the entrance!) Once through the doors (although the exterior is interesting, with the site of the old parish lockup marked out and an doorway from a demolished Walthamstow mansion) a wealth of artefacts await, including the oldest British-built petrol driven car, a police cell, a Victorian parlor, and the local archive, photographic archive and local studies library (the last three by appointment only) Behind the museum is a reconstruction of the workhouse garden, which is peppered with larger bygones such as a horse trough and water pump. Although this has no refreshment facilities, it is very close to Walthamstow Central and its hoard of take-away shops, and the garden is a pleasant place to picnic if the weather approves. There are modern toilets in the extension. There is a shop which sells local history books and lots of interesting bits for children. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and there are always lots of extras going on in school holidays, so check out the website. There isn't a great deal of parking close to the museum (there is a lay-by for 3 or 4 cars outside) but a major car park is about ten minutes walk away. I recommend this to all, it was just saved from closure (it was open 6 days until recently) its free to enter and well worth a visit.

The new look is fantastic and currently sporting Grayson Perry's wonderful Walthamstow Tapestry for another few weeks. There is far more interaction, more history about William Morris himself, and Morris &Co, including big fat books of Morris designs. And it's all free! You can very easily get round the beautiful venue in 40minutes if you're not lingering about too much, but there is also a fabulously well-appointed cafe now, giving a great reason to just hang out and chill, overlooking the beautiful grounds. Highly recommended and almost on my doorstep!

It is in a creaky old building and access is a problem, there is a manual ramp which has to be trundled out by staff to let in wheelchairs, and then the visit is limited to the ground floor. Recent reductions in opening has also limited visiting this gallery. Saying that it is set in a large park, which also until recently was a pleasure to visit, now it is very dowdy and uncared for. There is a cafe and toilets in the park, but have very limited opening hours and are quite far away. With all this against it the exhibits are glorious and well worth the effort of a visit
