BU London Library
The BU London Library can be found in the basement of 43 Harrington Gardens.
Our opening hours are as follows:
Monday-Thursday 8:30am-8pm
Fridays 8:30am-6pm
The library space has recently underwent refurbishing and now contains a chic, modern layout with new large comfortable seating. It is an open space with plenty of group study areas, desktop PCs, and single focused study areas. Those preferring a quieter atmosphere will find the study space beside the library teaching space (sectioned off by glass doors) an ideal location. It is the perfect space for independent study, or undertaking group work with friends or fellow classmates. There is something for everybody, and with the writing centre being next door, the writing fellows are always on-hand to help (perhaps with some urgent last-minute essay tips!) in a more informal setting outside of appointments.
