"As Greater London has 23,000 people per square mile, it is difficult to imagine how anyone could become lonely, invisible and forgotten in such a crowded city. Yet loneliness is increasing, as are the social and financial cost of this malaise. Isolated living on the Stonebridge Estate, NW10, typifies the epidemic of loneliness now affecting London and, increasingly, other world cities.
​
The Stonebridge People Library is a community facility designed for the residents of the Stonebridge Estate. It contains the collected images, stories and aspirations of people who live on and around the Estate. Users can access their neighbours’ library contributions and meet with them at specially designed events.
​
The aim is to restore a visceral connection among people, to place residents’ collective wealth of knowledge and life experience back in to the community and to inspire, reconnect and change the memory of the area for the Stonebridge Estate’s residents."
