Lonely Planet review

Just round the corner from the Whitechapel Art Gallery, the Women's Library, part of the London Metropolitan University, is a unique repository for all manner of books and documents related to women's history. It contains a reading room open to the public, as well as archive and museum collections, and organises talks and special exhibitions (last seen: Prostitution: What's Going On?).

The building is a modern take on the former Goulston Square Wash House, one of the oldest public baths in London.
