  • There are work spaces outside the reading rooms where you can work without a British Library pass, no booking required, you just need to turn up early enough to grab a spot. There are desks with spots to plug in you laptop and it’s generally very quiet.

    • Indoor seating: yes

  • The British Library. Completely free, but make the effort to get a Reader's pass and you get to sit in a quiet reading room with your own big desk all day. No food or drinks allowed is the downside, but coffee and restaurants on site.

    • Indoor seating: yes
