North Kensington Library

For over 150 years, North Kensington has been at the centre of campaigns for social justice. In 2022, local people proposed the idea of a social justice archive as a home for these stories. This year, the project is finally becoming reality. 

A room has been identified inside North Kensington Library and the Council has appointed Jan Kattein Architects to work up the design for the space. 

The team are now inviting feedback on the emerging designs for the space.
