About this space

Reading Room is a Library space in the Wellcome Collection that pairs reference books and curated objects with salon-style seating for relaxed study and reading.

Design: The room has high ceilings, large windows that admit abundant natural light, warm timber floors, statement pendant lights and colourful rugs. The interior arranges low lounge chairs and round tables in open clusters beneath a gallery level.

Features: The room provides Wi-Fi, air conditioning and a PA/speaker system, along with fixed shelving, study tables and a range of lounge seating. The space has step-free access and accessible toilets, food and drink are not permitted, and an upstairs day pass can be requested for longer visits.

Ideal for: Individuals and small groups seeking a relaxed, seated study environment or informal discussion and reading sessions.

What guests say: The reading room is eccentric and cosy and functions well as a study spot, while occasional ambient noise can occur; accessibility and cleanliness are consistently noted.
