One of the largest libraries on Earth

The British Library is one of the largest libraries on Earth, with millions of books from around the world. It’s not just for book lovers either. There’s something for everyone, from exhibitions and events to art and quiet spots to relax. I was surprised to find security scanners at the entrance. Not exactly what you expect when heading into a library. The building is fairly accessible overall, though the toilets could definitely be better.

Very accessible for wheelchair users - top marks

An excellent place for wheelchair users, easy to get around, plenty of lifts, and an excellent accessible toilet.

Helpful staff and covid confident accessible

I have visited before but this review is going to focus on disabled access since the covid measures have been introduced. I visited on 27 May 2021 and at that time all visits to the library need to be pre-booked via their website. If you are wanting to use the reading rooms, you will need to book a slot and then order your books.
