The Old Westminster Library, London SW1
30-32 Great Smith Street, London SW1P 3BU
An imposing historic Grade II listed building located just minutes from Westminster Abbey and the Houses of Parliament, the old Westminster Library first opened to the public in 1893 and operated as a library for many decades. Following sympathetic restoration and conversion it now provides residential accommodation on the upper floors and is home on the ground, mezzanine and basement floors to the award-winning contemporary restaurant The Cinnamon Club. The restaurant opened in 2001 and became an instant landmark thanks to the blend of innovative Indian cuisine set against the backdrop of the preserved old library’s grand, traditional features.
