Access to collections
If you would like to use the Reading Room, we'll ask you to join the Library. Clear print copies of the registration form and details are available from the reception desk and you can register on the day you visit providing you bring some proof of identity with you.
Once you are here, a range of technologies and services are available in the Reading Room to help with your visit.
All access to collections is subject to our rules and responsibilities.

Visitor facilities, including toilets, a cloakroom, and a water fountain, are located in the basement, accessible via stairs or lift. We have 30 lockers, operated using a £1 coin, which will be refunded after use. Coats can be locked up with a seat-belt style clip in the Cloakroom, but no valuables should be left in either storage facility.
