Main Building, Lambeth Road.  The Reading Room  is usually open to any member of the public Monday to Saturday, 10.00am to 5.00pm (14 years and  under to be accompanied by an adult).  Appointments are recommended, as spaces are limited.

From August 2008 the Main Building will be undergoing extensive refurbishment.  Visitors with appointments will still be able to use our research facilities, but should bear in mind that

●   there will inevitably be noise disruption due to building work
●   we may not be able to offer our usual standard of service
●   only cash and cheque payments can be accepted for copying

In addition, the Reading Room  will be closed for stocktaking during the last two full weeks in May.  Written and telephone enquiry services will remain open.
