British Library, London

I visited here last week. Very nice and very modern library. I would of liked to visit the little museum there but unfortunately I wasn't allowed in as I had a water bottle. They do not allow food and drink. That annoyed me! You are not allowed in the actual libraries without a pass which I found silly. I was looking forward to look around in there. The restaurants there are a quite expensive! It was around £4 something for a sandwich which was ridiculous! Otherwise, nice place to look around! Lots of information about the library and other things! Lots of seating spots to study too! They have a little spot (outside the toilets) where you can refill your water bottle but the water didn't taste very nice in my opinion. That's tap water for ya! I will still rate this place a five star in spite of my little criticisms! :P There you go!

Been coming here for years. I find it such a good place to study, work, or just spend time with friends. It's nice to have a place you can spend hours in for free in Central London, you don't need a library card to get in! They also have cool exhibitions and some are free. Love their outside terrace!!

Went on a Sunday. The place was open and busy with what appeared to be hundreds of people working away on their laptops. Some areas were closed. Some lovely collections on display. A small gift shop and cafe. Nice ambience for some quiet time.

Admission into building is free Reader's card is required for access into libraries and reading rooms. There is also a free exhibition of really interesting history materials. It's a large building so you'll want to visit over and over again!

A wonderful place to explore when visiting London! Some of the exhibits require a nominal ticket fee to view, but the Beethoven gallery was fantastic with actual pages of his manuscripts and compositions. This is a place I could easily return to many times over and never get bored.
