Nice environment, but feels like a playground with all these children in the weekend. Bring headphones/earplugs if you intend to study...
One of the most cosy modern libraries . In floor two you have a view over the water. Good collection of travel books
Modern library , nice cafe but looks like a post-apocalyptic prison on the outside.
Learning desks on top floor. Power outlets , wifi and always busy.
Peaceful and bright place for reading
Croissants n capuccino are excellent. Friendly staff too.
Remember to book a PC as sometimes its hard to find a free one.
First inside the Library taken from the 2nd level
Get there early of you need a study desk; gets welllll busy
Book a slot on any PCs if you want more than 5 mins.
Disagree with one of the tips. The place is overpriced and I have seen how the owner treats her staff . Disgusted.
It won't ever be quiet !
£5 to be able to take pictures of archival material. Well worth it if your working with large material. - Stephanie
A great local library. Generally a good collection; including CDs, DVDs, and other media. Their children's section is one of the best; with activities and events. - Geoffrey Makstutis
Coffee is 75p and tea is 60p. Can there be anywhere cheaper nearby? - Dave Chapman
As always, decathlon gives a great selection of sports goods at great prices. This is one of the larger decathlon stores I’ve been to! - Joe Humphries
The Tesco is very good and open 24/5. On weekends it falls short on Sunday. The other shops are so-so but changes are coming with an extension and hopefully will bring in more stylish clothing shops. - Herman Santiago
