Free Evening Tours of The London Library
Discover one of the world's largest independent lending libraries, steeped in 175 years of history and housing a fascinating and varied collection.
The London Library hosts regular free guided Tours on weekday evenings offering visitors the opportunity to see this unique historic literary oasis at first hand. Tours start at 6.00pm, lasting for about an hour. We can accommodate up to 18 people per tour and because numbers are limited, reservation is essential. Bookings can be made through our on-line booking service by clicking on the dates shown for individual tours below. If tours are fully booked, it is possible to put yourself on a waiting list in the event that a place becomes available.
The tour encompasses 45 minutes of walking involving many flights of stairs, and due to the nature of the building we are unable to offer lift access to all areas. The tour therefore may not be suitable if you have mobility problems - please inform us when you book and we will do our best to accommodate you.
Please see our events page for details on upcoming tours.
Our Evening Tours are aimed at non-members and we are unable to offer general tours at any other time. If you are a member and wish for any specific guidance in using the Library, please ask our staff at Reception, who will be happy to assist.
