Background on Idea Stores
The Secretary of State for the Department of Culture, Media and Sport,
launched the groundbreaking Idea Stores concept in April 1999. Tower
Hamlets, unveiled its plans to invest £20 million in library and learning
services at a time when the national trend has been for decreasing funding.
The idea became a reality in May 2002 when the first, prototype Idea Store
opened at Bow. This was followed by the opening of a second Idea Store at
Chrisp Street in July 2004 and a third Idea Store at Whitechapel in
September 2005.
If you would like your name added to the list of visitors please contact

N.B Because of the popularity of the Ideas Store concept, there will be a
charge for the tour. This is largely dependent on numbers, but is likely
to be between £6 and £7.
