Old Manor Park Library is a space for artists, makers and people living in Manor Park. It incorporates affordable artists’ studios, Rabbits Road Press and a space for the community to meet and create.

Rabbits Road Press is a community risograph print studio and publishing press run by OOMK, who are current artists in residences at OMPL. The small-scale press provides printing and book binding services for artists and community groups in Newham and beyond.

The studios, managed by Bow Arts, support a broad range of practice including filmmaking, performance, making and research. Old Manor Park Library brings together artists and east Londoners to connect and share knowledge.

The interior of the building was repaired and restructured in autumn 2015 by the designers Nicholas Lobo Brennan and Astrid Smitham and the maker Philip T Ryan.

The Old Manor Park Library project is delivered in partnership by Create London, Bow Arts and Newham Council. It is supported by the Mayor of London’s High Street Fund, The Charles Hayward Foundation and Arts Council England.
