Share, repair & learn with Library of Things

Over 11,000 Londoners have already saved £650,000 by using their local Library of Things to rent useful household items they don’t use often instead of buying them brand new.

We work in partnership with top suppliers including BOSCH, Kärcher , STIHL and The North Face to make if more affordable for everyone in the community to access the cleaning, DIY, gardening, cooking, camping and audio equipment you need to do the mending, repair and projects you need around your home.

Join a growing community of people who are coming together to learn new skills and share items they don’t use often to save money and reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfill.
