I came to this library to study before my exams. I am not from the area and was looking for a quiet nice library. It has a good size study area with approximately 25 desk for study and most of them have a plug socket and they have like a cubicle around it which gives you privacy. The public WiFi works OK but I only used for reading so not sure for other purposes. The upstairs area tend to be more noisy since it's where the public access computers are but I found it quiet in general. The opening times are the best in my opinion.

Quick sign up and fast machine to withdraw books. Good selection for the self help and business categories I was looking for. Took a star off because they were hassling everyone to leave 10 whole minutes before closing time.

Great staff - barring a certain Spanish member - book selection could do with updating, unless you require a book several years out of date. Crowded and can be occupied with Vagrants with the level of hygiene in question going by the smell and study area crowded and noisy but then with one of the lowest, if not the lowest Council Tax In England what can you expect.
Update Your Books Westminster.

Honestly for a library in a big community you would think it would sort out its issues quicker.
The downstairs has been out of bounds for quite sometime and I assume there is seating there?
The book selection is okay but as an online student who wants to make use of her local library its not the best library.
The space isn't used well and there is a lot of empty space that could be used for study areas- considering this is a London library I was surprised how poor of a library this is...

Love studying here, a great selection of books and material, the staff are friendly and the libary is in a clean state too. Also there's toilet facilities available on site. Keep up the good work Westminster Council, this is the best libary hands down!

Bit crummy, many homeless people use it... make not be very hygienic. Bigger downstairs. Toilets, which are handy. Nice staff. Good location.
