About this space

The Dickens Library reflects the features of a Grade 1 listed building with roots in the 19th century. Located in central London, the Dickens Library features dark wood, period features, and traditional artwork. It has hosted conferences, exhibitions, corporate events, and fashion shows.

The room features dark floorboards and wood panelling across the walls. Large windows reach almost from floor to ceiling. Wooden columns rise up to form a central arch that separates the room.

To extend the space, the room can be hired together with an adjoining space, Virginia Woolf (last picture). Please enquire for more details.
