Westminster Reference Library

Mere metres from the hustle and bustle of Leicester Square and close to Covent Garden, the Westminster Reference Library is a convenient, quiet place to find yourself should you need some peace away from the crowds.

There was once a house on the same site, occupied by Sir Isaac Newton amongst others, until it became a library, opening in 1928. As well as the public library, there's a specialist art and design library to explore on the first floor.
