Which "good" London libraries can non-London students freely use?Hi
Are there any "good" libraries in central London which non-London students can freely enter to sit down and study?
I found a few here: http://www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/corpo...don_libraries/
Are these libraries any good? Barbican, City Business library, Shoe Lane library..
Thanks.Last edited by Akkuz; 03-05-2012 at 15:39. -

Re: Which "good" London libraries can non-London students freely use?Are you aware of Sconul Access (to access university, rather than public, libraries)?

There's the British library too, of course. -

The british library (biggest library in europe as well I believe) is pretty good - at king's cross.Last edited by Akkuz; 03-05-2012 at 16:38. -

Re: Which "good" London libraries can non-London students freely use?Out of interest, do you know which library in UCL that was? Didn't realise they did that.(Original post by SacredWolf)
I used the UCL library in the Easter for free but during exam season I believe it's their students only, same with KCL...maybe the Senate House library? -

Re: Which "good" London libraries can non-London students freely use?I think that might be for certain rooms as it's sometimes hard to find a place to sit (despite it being so big). But I usually go sit in that restaurant/cafe place and work there, nearly always find a place.(Original post by Akkuz)

But otherwise, yeah, just turn up and sit anywhere - you sometimes see people sitting all over the floor and stuff as well lol. -

Re: Which "good" London libraries can non-London students freely use?The Main Library, however I know someone doing medicine elsewhere who went there for the library, and I could be wrong but I think the medical library is separate? So I guess she used that one.(Original post by Waterstorm)
