Reviews
Attended a lunchtime concert and enjoyed it very much. Not my first time here. There is always lots on offer to choose from such as talks, concerts, courses etc. Great venue
I almost feel reluctant to leave a review for this spot because it's my favourite little secret. BUT I also love to give credit where credit's due. It's blissfully quiet and smells musky like a proper library. Highly recommend.
Reception staff are always polite and friendly
A wonderful building
The Bishopsgate Library is a hidden gem amongst free access community and reference libraries. It is a great place to study (be mindful of the many regulars, who have their special seats!), with historical reference books and many parliamentary, governmental and local authorities annuals and records. I always find some new and old books that connect dots in time and places. There is often also a sale of discharged books, which is invaluable to researchers, who like to build their own library with sometimes most unexpected literature. It is also a resource library for East End history and life, with sale of cards and books about the topic on offer. The staff is very friendly and helpful.One of the rare jewels for those, who consider a book a timeless treasure and source of inspiration. It is a place, where history meets today with pen and notebook, or with tablet and laptop, and where we can take a look into and learn from the past for the future. Enjoy!
