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.
