The London Library is one of the world’s greatest literary institutions, providing a centre of creativity, inspiration and ideas for over 180 years.
Tucked away in central London on St James’s Square, The London Library has been at the heart of literature since the day it was founded in 1841. Throughout our history, writers and researchers, no matter their genre or discipline, have consistently found the Library to be an unrivalled resource. Previous members have included TS Eliot, Mark Twain, Virginia Woolf, Harold Pinter, Charles Darwin, Charles Dickens, Bram Stoker, and Angela Carter. Current members include Sarah Waters, Kazuo Ishiguro, Raymond Antrobus, Stephen Fry, Inua Ellams, and Jessie Burton.
In addition to our beautiful building , collection of around one million books, and periodicals (almost all of which can be borrowed), membership to The London Library includes: a vast eLibrary, atmospheric workspaces, a members suite, free nationwide postal loans, discounted tickets to the Library’s popular public events programme, and a number of member-run discussion groups, covering a diverse array of topics including everything from philosophy to history, gender studies to non-fiction writing. The London Library is a home for everyone who loves the written word.
Please note: the visit will involve a lot of walking so the wearing of comfortable shoes is advised. Some areas of the library are quite narrow and high up so not ideal for those with a fear of enclosed spaces or heights.
