This new library in Lambeth Palace Road was opened in 2021, replacing the library in Lambeth Palace nearby. It is the first new building on the site for 185 years and hosts the Church of England archive - the most important collection of religious books, manuscripts and archives in Europe, after the Vatican. Its architecture is described at https://www.architectsjournal.co.uk/buildings/building-study-lambeth-palace-library-by-wright-wright.
