Islington Local History Centre

Islington Local History Centre is closed to the public from Monday 20 January 2020 until Wednesday 12 February 2020 (inclusive). This is so that staff may facilitate the Centre's annual stock take and maintenance, and to install a new shelving system in one of our large archive storage rooms.

To book appointments after the closure period, and for general enquiries, emails and messages may be left at local.history@islington.gov.uk or on 020 7527 7988.

We apologise for any inconvenience that this closure may cause and the Centre reopens on Thursday 13 February 2020. Islington Museum is open as normal.

Thank you.
