   Nov25- what an amazing hidden gem. I went for a talk in the front library to see some archives. It has some spectacular pieces and clearly so much history and 'fight'. Befitting the East End spirit.

   Intricate masonry work in art nouveau style, the curves are daring and the way they came off the edge looks so masterful. A mixture of motifs, foliage and the faces carved in stone make for a harmonious design

   A wealth of knowledge! Huge archives, great staff, requests for information are super easy. There are events and information days by a range of specialist interest groups too. The building is amazing to view even just for the Victorian architecture too.

   Beautiful venue inside and out, great location and multi-functional. I've been to Swing Dance lessons here and also donated blood and much more!

   An old fashioned community based public reference library and adult education institute. Really friendly and inviting staff, real mix of people using the place. Really nice to just sit, read and relax in the heart of the busy square mile.

   I primarily used the Bishopsgate Institute Library on my visit. Although that's not particularly exciting, if you're looking for a quiet place to work, the Institute in the heart of the City is a fantastic place. It's easily accessible from Liverpool Street station, it's quiet, it offers fast internet connection, and it's rather handsome. It's like those libraries you find in Oxford/Cambridge with handsome dark mahogany shelves. You'll get a lot of work done here. As mentioned, its location is amazing. After all that work, a drink is in order. You'll find top bars and restaurant all around as soon as you leave the Institute. I may be talking about a library, but it still remains a bit of gem in the City. Well worth a bit of your time.

   Beautiful study area, quiet and spacious. It also has good selection of newspapers and magazines. Lots of courses and events in the evening. Staff are also helpful. However, opening hours are quite limited and wifi is slow.
