The Library Explore our rooms

The Library’s bookcases and carpet give the room a warm, intimate feeling, like a relaxed London club room. Indeed, it was used as such when the Union Club owned the building in the 20s, and this room was a dining room for club members.

The double aspect gives it amazing light, with windows overlooking The Mall and St James' Park, perfect for daytime board meetings or early evening book launches.

The Library adjoins the Reading Room and works well as a pre or post dinner drinks reception area. 

The books in the room are related to the humanities discipline and are all written by fellows of, and academics sponsored by, The British Academy.

The money from events hosted at {10-11} Carlton House Terrace is donated back to the Academy to help fund new research into these important disciplines helping to further understand human culture.
