About

The British Library's purpose-built, state-of-the-art Knowledge Centre offers exceptional and flexible facilities for meetings, conferences, lectures, private screenings and much more.

The space benefits from a theatre and a large central foyer for networking and receptions, as well as four smaller stand-alone event spaces.

Evening receptions, dinners and networking events for up to 200 guests can be held in our beautiful King's Library Gallery, showcasing King George III's impressive collection.

The Terrace Restaurant with its stunning outdoor, rooftop terrace is perfect for summer events.

The British Library also has an executive Boardroom suite, offering an impressive, traditional boardroom for board meetings, presentations and dinners. This is alongside smaller rooms to suit meetings for as few as two guests.
