Have your say in Newham Heritage Centre’s future

Newham Council is transforming Canning Town Old Library into a new Heritage Centre. This historic Grade II listed building is set to reopen in 2026 as the borough’s new Heritage Centre, housing Newham’s archive and museum collection alongside a dynamic programme of activities.

The new Heritage Centre will feature a range of facilities, including state-of-the-art archive storage, a reading room, exhibition space, digital suite, learning space, and a new café.

We’re keen to understand what stories and themes should be shared and what events and activities you would like to see happen in the new Heritage Centre.

Help us to shape the Heritage Centre’s future by completing this form by Friday 9 May.
