The Maida Vale Public Library is on the corner of Sutherland Avenue and Shirland Road. It has recently been modernised inside, but before this modernisation it held the criminology department of the British Library on the first floor (around the current balcony area). One other odd fact about it is that it doubled as the police station in the 1980s ITV series, Minder, improvised by simply placing a "Police" sign on the gatepost.
