Day 29: Wanstead

REDBRIDGE



Wanstead Library7.00 pm12.6 km from Covent Garden

Windows? We don't need no stinking windows!Redbridge came as a bit of a surprise because with a name like that I expected it to be up North - as in Yorkshire or Lancashire - and to have played a vital role in the industrial revolution and/or trade union history.
There was a huge coffee and walnut cake available and despite my best efforts to give it away I ended up eating half of it. V.Bad.
What it is, it turns out, is a leafy suburb or at least the bits I saw were. Once more the spiritual successors to Albert Speer had been let loose on a library as evinced by the Leni Riefenstahl windows you can see below.

NEXT: The last library in London!
