It's been so easy to use the library's facilities to work for a day. I was able to get a library card with just my passport which granted me access to unlimited wifi, computers, charging my laptop, printing and the books. The cafe area is also convenient for a less quiet space if you need to make a call.
Great local library with plenty of choice for books and very friendly and helpful staff. Delicious coffee at the on site Mousetail coffee shop. Can get a little busy during peak hours.
I visited this library in April 2019 and it was very crammed with people and had a guard present in the entry which indicates this place isn't safe. I sat down with a book for only a few minutes when I realized I was being stared at. A man sitting in front of me with no books or anything. Appearently he wasn't using anything at the library, he used only the place to sit and stare at people. He stared and looked very aggressive. I felt very uncomfortable and quickly left. At least have the nerve to question non-users why they occupy the library seats. Many people wish to use libraries for reading and to study. Staring at people for long time isn't a healthy behaviour.
Library has a small cafe which is really great. Good working space but some days and times it gets really busy. Also, free WiFi!!
Are you interested in Old Southwark? An amazing archive of maps, engravings and photos awaits you. If you live in the area and wondered what your fashionable street looked like 50, 100 or more years ago, you'll find out here. A great place for those who appreciate the history of the 'small places' - although you'll be surprised by how great this part of London is!
