📣 Library of Things is coming to the Barbican Library! Why buy when you can rent?
Can you believe the average drill is only used for 13 minutes in its lifetime? Instead of cluttering up your cupboards with stuff you don’t need - let's share things with each other instead.
Launching in spring 2026, the Library of Things is a place where you can access useful household items you don’t need to use often, from carpet cleaners to drills to projectors.
Join a growing community of people renting items to save money, learn new skills like repair and cut down on wasteful one-time purchases.
Sign up today and receive a 10% code to use on your first borrow when we open.
Why rent?
✔ Save £100s by renting instead of buying
✔ Access high quality items for less (from top suppliers like Bosch, Kärcher and STIHL)
✔ Same-day bookings available
✔ Reduce waste & support a circular economy
✔ Join a community of sharers across London
✔ Unlock new skills and experiences along the way
Let’s say no to wasteful one-time purchases!
We've joined forces with the City of London to bring borrowing to the area so everyone can access the items they need to maintain their homes affordably.
Where you'll find us
From spring 2026, you'll find our lockers inside the Barbican Library, EC2Y 8DS.
