A Greenwich library been named as one of the best cultural venues in London.
The award-winning Greenwich Centre Library came second in the local culture category for the ‘Time Out Love London Awards’.
Time Out magazine holds the annual competition which encourages readers to vote for their favourite venues and attractions across the capital.
The categories are restaurants, pubs, cafes, shops, bars and local culture.
Only Greenwich Park did better in the category.
Cllr Denise Scott McDonald said: “What a successful week for libraries in the Royal Borough of Greenwich! The Greenwich Centre is one of the newest Royal Borough hubs but it has already won such a great award befitting of the quality of services it delivers.
“I was also delighted to present the Outstanding Contribution awards to Eltham Library, where members of staff have worked so hard to provide not just a great library service but also a great community service too.”
Diana Edmonds, Head of Libraries for Greenwich Leisure Ltd, commented: “We have enjoyed a long term partnership with the Royal Borough of Greenwich which goes from strength to strength.
"We have worked with the Royal Borough to develop innovative library services and we are delighted that these libraries attract more visitors, year on year.”
