About this space

True to the building’s historical and cultural heritage, the Library has hosted generations of enquiring minds.

Today, the Library houses a collection of rare reference materials and is home to one of the UK’s most subversive archives. Stepping into the polished wooden interior feels warm and welcoming, and the Library is an ideal space for guests to mingle.

A coveted filming location or a cosy space for an intimate drinks reception. Our dedicated event planners will help you plan your perfect event from start to finish.
