The standard charge is £5 for a half day or £10 for a full day, per person. To arrange an appointment, please contact the Librarian by telephone on 020 8312 7125.
Research
The Library staff will provide as much advice as you need for you to complete your own research free of charge, but should you wish us to carry out research for you we have to levy a charge for staff time. We have a scale of charges starting at £15. The best way forward is to contact the Library and we will work through your query together and discuss your options.
