Islington Literary and Scientific Society.
The Islington Literary and Scientific Society, which first met in 1833, sought to spread knowledge by means of lectures, discussions and other methods. In 1837 the society moved to a building in Wellington Street, containing a library, reading room, museum, laboratory and lecture theatres. The library was sold in 1872, and the building leased to other users thereafter.
