About this location
This large library is a dark-academia library filming location in Central London. Seemingly endless narrow aisles of floor-to-ceiling book stacks on cast-iron grille floors, steep iron stairs between levels, panelled reading rooms with leather-topped desks, brass lamps and marble fireplaces, and a columned reading hall with magenta carpet suit period drama, thrillers, commercials and photoshoots.
