Top Free Work and Study Spaces in London — The British Museum Library (2022 Update)
Amidst the hustle and bustle of London’s biggest museum sits a tranquil study and workspace
The British Museum attracts over six million visitors every year, yet few people know about the small library at the back. The Anthropology Library and Research Centre boasts a small, quiet space for students and workers to focus, right in the midst of the hustle and bustle of London’s biggest museum. If you’re looking for a free and quiet space to study or get some work done, this is the perfect location, right in central London.
How to get there:
When you reach the British Museum, you need to walk all the way around to the back entrance (on the side of Russel Square). There is a security check through which you enter the Museum, you then walk a few metres and the library will be to your right. It is called the Anthropology and Library Research Centre and the door is a little hidden so watch out for it when walking in. The library is before the main museum area so once you get to the staircase, you’ve gone too far.
