Lovely, clean, quiet and spacious library. It has that classic old school feel which I appreciate. The bathrooms are located on the LG floor and are kept clean. There's a huge selection of books, security by the doors and friendly staff. The study 1st floor is a great space, lots of natural light coming through, if your an artist like me and just need somewhere quiet to sketch its a perfcet space.
Really enjoyed going back in time to this traditional looking old fashioned library. Staff were friendly and there are a number of computers and a paid photocopier for the public to use.
I was directed to this big brother of a library from Staff at Notting Hill Gate library little brother. In my search for books concerning the unpleasant activity of Domestic Abuse,obviously not as a perpetrator. I also needed to spend some time in their Local Studies department which you can only visit by appointment. I found a couple of non fiction books concerning Domestic Abuse. Or the Counseling of Domestic Abuse and Violence.The library was fairly busy. But I was able to find a vacant seat so I could make some notes.I did not spend a lot of time in the library. But I could only find a small few books related to the unsavoury topic of Domestic Violence. Which had a small directory of, counselling and psychotherapy associations. As you can probably imagine over the years, I have spent quite a lot of time visiting various libraries. Often simply to browse a section and make some basic notes for future reference.
What’s a purpose of this huge building, if it’s open only for certain hours and it’s closed most of the evenings? I think that tax payers money could be better spent. It’s outdated inside, old tables, there are not that many sockets, poor choice in reading, there are some sections that are from 90’s, as someone mentioned there is no control of people some can be quite disrespectful, staff seams just care about making the day and getting the salary, this building is perfect example how the Chelsea and kensington council is wasting public’s money, considering “the library” is on the paper that provides minimum services to people. Outrageous, but what other options around the area not that many. I hope this library will be closed for good, Chelsea needs a new library!
6.44 Pm 17th June 2024 . One Lady in the library misbehaved and told to go Away . She was looking very negative reaction in face . Hope this the culture to behave. Why to waste my time by responding a negative mind, so I came out.
Amazing place to study. You don't need to register or have a card, just walk in and head to the first floor and find a place to sit. There aren't many plugs, only on the left side of the library and it's usually packed. The internet is absurdly fast, I've done a test with speedtest, and take a look at the results in the video I've added. The Library is quite spacious, and has several floors
Spacious and welcoming place. Good kids library and one for teenagers. Great that the local libraries are connected: you can take smth in Chelsea or Paddington and return in high street Ken. Convenient. Staff is kind, attentive, knowledgeable and helpful. Wheelchair accessible facilities.
Unfortunately, this library falls short in providing a peaceful reading environment due to its frequent noise levels. It's challenging to concentrate when surrounded by constant disruptions. Overall the desks are nice and the atmosphere when quiet is very good
It's exam period and lots of students in the study area/reference library section. Some computers still available for use and of course, printers. At times, it's difficult to get a seat. Wifi throughout the library even when you use the toilets in the lower ground floor.
Perfectly fine library, but the clients are 80% students so if you're not one, you might not find the reading area as peaceful as in other libraries. Also, very few plugs for computers.
