We are a unique, versatile filming location in the heart of London. Situated directly off St James’s Square and a minute’s walk from Piccadilly and Pall Mall, the library's stunning yet modest façade hides a wealth of amazing features spread across seven interlocking buildings. From richly furnished rooms with a classic library feel to labyrinthine book stacks to mysterious archives and contemporary offices, the library has a space for every filming occasion. Whether you’re looking for a feature film, an interview backdrop or a unique fashion shoot, our dedicated staff are on hand to ensure your project goes smoothly. Previous productions include Montblanc’s ‘Spirit of the Library’ fashion campaign, Killing Eve, Top Boy, In Search of Dracula with Mark Gatiss, The Apprentice, Child Genius, Newsnight, BBC Artsnight, Who Do You Think You Are, History Hit, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire and a number of BBC 4 and Sky Arts documentaries.
