The British Library is not only the national library of the United Kingdom but also one of the world's greatest academic institutions.

Opened in 1998, the library is now hailed as a great triumph of design and technology as well as one of the greatest repositories of library materials which include over 150 million items, with some material dating from 3000 years ago. The auditorium can accommodate up to 255 delegates, with facilities for simultaneous translation, film, sound and video presentation. This, combined with a full team of onsite technical expertise, ensures world-class delivery. In addition, there are five comfortable and individually designed meeting rooms allowing for 10-60 delegates. All rooms have natural daylight, electronic blackout blinds, climate control and sound proofing.

Further to the Knowledge Centre, the British Library also has an executive Boardroom suite, consisting of the British Library Boardroom, which is ideal for board meetings and presentations as well as private lunches and dinners for up to 32 guests. The additional rooms in this suite can accommodate from 4 to 12 guests making it in an ideal option for smaller meetings and interviews.

In the evening, the library offers receptions and dinners for up to 200 guests. The King's Library Gallery offers a spectacular backdrop with the King's Library Tower, holding over 65,000 volumes or the Terrace Restaurant with its floor to ceiling windows and outdoor, rooftop terrace for summer events.

The most flexible of the meeting rooms, the Bronte Room can be partitioned into two smaller rooms, making it ideal for workshops and smaller meetings requiring break out spaces. Built-in AV, sound proofing, blackout facilities and air conditioning make this room perfect for corporate meetings, launches and receptions for up to 60 guests.

    An incredible place. It is a public working/study place plus a museum. It's quite busy and hard to find a table. However the atmosphere was great. I enjoyed my time working here. It is also possible to have a reader card which is valid for 3 years. The application process was quick and easy. Lovely staff!

    I loved the place and the collection of rare books like Shakespeare or magna carta. I would love the information point to be more helpful however. I had to find out what to do from different places. Also the daily library was cancelled because there was a private booking... and there wasn't enough guides... so basically whoever pays more wins. Also to get to any reading rooms you must have a library card. If you live in the UK you need a driving licence, otherwise an ID and proof of address is needed. It's really nice and quiet in the reading rooms.

    Was not what I expected. Building is underwhelming and the museum portion is a small dark wing. The reading areas were crowded - was hoping for something like the New York Public Library.
