April 2025An 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!

January 2025I 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.

April 2025Was 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.
