The Idea Store in Bow was the first of four such libraries to be opened by Tower Hamlets council. Opened in May 2002, and located at the heart of the historic Roman Road it provides a major leisure and learning facility for the area. Adult education classes, library services, events and a cafe are presented under one roof, forming the basis for the Idea Store brand. There are three further Idea Stores in the borough: at Canary Wharf, Chrisp Street and the flagship centre at Whitechapel.
