Behind its elegant facade overlooking St. James Square is a vast network of books, where since the mid-nineteenth century, seven buildings have been brought into one and a great centre of learning and ideas has been created. | The London Library | Facebook

Two of the hidden treasures of St Paul’s Cathedral.. The staircase and the library can both be seen on the Triforium tour at the Cathedral. They take place from 12pm-1pm on various days of the week. I visited a few weeks ago when I made a speech in the library about its history. This was part of a series of events put on by Airbnb when they created a special room off the library for 2 people to stay in for the night. . . . . #london #londonhistory #cityoflondon #livinglondonhistory #hiddenlondon
