This library is really big, you can visit for free and walk around, however to actually sit in the library and read books you do need to become a member. This library has a lot of history. The member ship is £80 a year and with the membership you can see exhibitions unlimited time all for free. There is a-lot of sitting place, so you can just sit and relax, reading your own book or you can do work. (Laptop, book) There is a cafe on ground floor and a little restaurant. Overall this place is really nice, I do wish that they did have a little children reading area.

The British Library isn't what it once used to be. Many sections have been closed off to the public and though there is an exhibition on the ground floor exploring the likes of religion, artists, architecture, Shakespeare, modern day writing all in literature form, it's a shame that not all of it is accessible in depth. It's a good thing entry is free to the public as charging for entry would feel like one big con. If you're a bookworm then this is the place to be but if you're passing through, the visit will be very fleeting, so just a head's up.

Filled to the brim with literary artifacts from around the world, and guarded by Isaac Newton, the British Library was a great place to visit when the British Museum was full. There’s no tickets needed to get in here and there’s a smaller museum exhibit here.

One of the oldest public libraries in the world, this is a place of learning and knowledge. Located in a sprawling campus, aesthetic ambience, this place can truly be called as people's university. Thanks to the permission of the receptionist we could visit a special exhibition that's going on in the library.

Cool place to go to see all things book related. Some displays of some really old books and cool area where you can see all these books going up high. Cafes to get food n drink. Seemed to be a lot of people studying and meeting up - was busier than I expected it to be on a weekday. Good to try and plan what to see if you haven’t got lots of time to spare. Exhibition of old books etc can be found on Upper ground floor on the far left as you enter the premises.
