    One of the greatest libraries for social scientists in London. It has amazing rooms that are so old that make you feel like you're in a different era. {Harry-Pottery-like}

    My favorite library in London. It's a nice and quiet library with lots of seating areas. The North Reading Room is my favorite.

    Part of the University of London, Senate House was the inspiration for George Orwell's Ministry of Truth. During the 1936 construction the principle was killed by a trolley falling down a lift shaft.

    4th floor left side is the best place to study. Less undergrads, plenty of natural light and real quiet.

    Senate House was the inspiration for the Ministry of Truth in George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four, but you won't find "WAR IS PEACE, FREEDOM IS SLAVERY, IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH" on these walls. Read more

    Come early for your own little study nook. Also the home of NYU Tisch School of the Arts' London program.

    Why would the opening times be untill 5 30, if at 5 you already cannot use the reception services??? These times are very unconvenient for so big a library...
