B. Bancroft

Edgware HA8 8NN

Branch library designed in an L shape, featuring a glazed gable end and a copper roof. The building has already been extended once with more refurbishment planned. Bancroft also designed Burnt Oak Library for the borough, a square, concrete, framed building with a glass pyramid roof light and interesting vertical windows, refurbished with a colourful curved entrance way by Knott Architects in 2011. Barnet’s libraries, once the pride of the borough, have gradually had their services cut back and face a bleak future, as do many library services throughout London.
