Manor House Library

Manor House is a 250 year old, grade 2* listed former private residence of the Baring family and now home to a public library, community rooms, daycare and midwife hub. Over a quarter of a million visitors step through the doors of Manor House each year and it does a tremendous amount of work in the community. We were open throughout the pandemic offering vital midwife services to residents of Lewisham and Greenwich Boroughs, we raised funds and food items for needy South East London families at Christmas then raised even more for the Ukrainian appeal in the spring.

Our library is open six days a week and our community rooms are available to hire and attract a wide variety of uses from Yoga and Pilates classes to mental health support groups, after-school activities and, of course, weddings. Please do contact us hire@v22libraries.com if you are interested in hiring any of our rooms, or visit us or our web site for more information about classes and courses.

Manor House is run by V22 Communities, a registered charity that also operates the library services at Sydenham and Forest Hill. V22 is an arts organisation that operates studio space in the libraries and at other locations across Lewisham and beyond, please do contact us studioenquiries@v22collection.com if you are an artist or creative person looking for space, we have studios in various different shapes and sizes.
