British Library

The Treasures exhibit at the British Library is free, and it's astounding what's in the collection. My companion was super skeptical but it ended up as one of our favorite attractions. The items on display are amazing - Da Vinci notes, handwritten Beatles lyrics, copies of the Magna Carta, a letter from Michelangelo, religious texts from all over the world. You must visit.

A striking statue at the entrance square of the British Library in London is Newton, a man with a compass, by the famous British poet and painter Black who once said art is the tree of life. Science is the tree of death. Scottish sculptor Eduardo Paulzi built the statue in 1995 with funding from the Sports and Arts Foundation.

The red brick buildings are intimate, and the spire next door reminds me that I am still abroad. The statue of Newton with the compass at the door is meaningful. There is a popular chair in the hall, a book locked, and don't let yourself be limited by the text? I've been thinking about what's locked, what's the meaning of the book, what's worth thinking about. The British Library is very, very beautiful in its layout, with huge bookcases in the middle of it on every floor, and many drawer-style exhibition rooms. I've been playing in the stamp room for a long time, so cute. I navigated from hotels to destinations on my legs and google in the UK, and went around other pavilions and traveled as I wanted. I spent half a day in the British Library, very relaxed to see all kinds of people reading and typing, imagining their stories. The library is free, there are many people, and there are many locations. I remember that the transportation is very convenient, the famous sights in London City seem not far away, the bus and subway are very convenient, really can not rely on the feet out of the world.

Amazing collection of texts with several exhibitions and study spaces. The permanent collection has a copy of the Magna Carta as well as several ancient texts. The shop is also great for specialty gifts and books.

Stop in at the British Library to see famous works including the Magna Carta and orginal Shakespeare. It's free to visit and worth a wander. They have interesting special exhibits as well including one on the history of punk which was very cool.

Check out all the important historic documents. They have a great exhibition now on Shakespeare.

Spread across 4 floors and a glorious atrium, the British Library is seriously the best place in London to work productively. And it's certainly no secret. I frequent there for long sessions of laptop work and have counted over 1000 people - students, freelancers, academics - setting up work stations there every day. The vibe is enterprising and motivating, to say the least. There's even a nice cafe and restaurant and an exhibition hall if you fancy having a break.

Fascinating place for those interested in history. You can see original documents from around the world, including an original version of the Magna Carta and original prints of Shakespeare. Regular exhibitions highlight their treasures. If you can become a reader you have access to the stacks of one of the great copyright libraries of the world.
