Acerca de

Datos rápidos: Esta impresionante catedral neogótica de libros alberga más de 150,000 artículos, incluido un Primer Folio de Shakespeare y las letras originales de los Beatles escritas a mano en una servilleta. El techo de King's Cross de 12 metros de altura se eleva sobre 120,000 azulejos dorados pintados a mano que brillan como un manuscrito medieval.

Destacados: Entre y mire hacia arriba: el techo de la sala de lectura de 12 metros está cubierto con 120,000 azulejos dorados pintados a mano, cada uno elaborado individualmente por artesanos marroquíes. Un solo azulejo cuesta más que el alquiler mensual de la mayoría de las personas, y la sala fue modelada a partir de una biblioteca renacentista italiana del siglo XV.

Consejos de expertos

  • The quiet reading rooms on the upper floor are open to anyone with a free visitor pass just bring photo ID.
  • Photography is allowed in the main staircase and lobby, but flash is forbidden near the rare book displays.
  • Visit the small exhibition space on the lower level to see rotating displays of original manuscripts and letters.
  • Arrive 15 minutes before opening to watch the doors swing open and see the hall nearly empty.
