Charing Cross Library

The weather has been absolutely glorious these past few days! It was sunny on St Swithin's day, and folklore tells us that the weather on St Swithin's will hold for 40 days. It's great for anyone wanting to spend time outside, but what about when you're tired and just want a nice book to read?

If you walk up Charing Cross Road, there is a nondescript little building with 'Library' signs attached: this is Charing Cross Library!

You don't have to be a member to walk in and browse books, although you will need a membership if you wish to borrow any.

The library is busy, but there are areas to sit down in, spread over two floors.

What makes Charing Cross Library stand out is its selection of Chinese-language books, due to the proximity of Chinatown, just a few minutes away. You can check out my blog post on Chinatown here, if you like!

I'd also like to add that the shelves are excellent for elves to stand on, but I wouldn't recommend this to human children (or indeed, adults).

I'm going to find a book full of recipies: I'm hungry!

See you soon,
