Visiting the British Library at St Pancras
The British Library is the national library of the United Kingdom
and one of the world's greatest libraries. Our magnificent building
at St Pancras, London NW1, is a vibrant public space open seven
days a week.
Things to see and do
To consult books in the Reading Rooms you must have a Reader Pass.
But even if you don't have a Pass, there are many reasons to visit:
Bag searches
Last year we introduced compulsory bag
searches at the main St Pancras entrance to St Pancras
for all visitors entering the building. A search only takes a few
seconds and helps to ensure your security.
