Open to the public, this is the largest independent library outside of London and a real gem.

Housed in a magnificent Grade II listed building, just how a library should be with balconies, clanking radiators, statues and spiral staircases.

Best of all it offers the perfect sanctuary to escape from the hustle of the city to while away a few hours poking around the book shelves stuffed full of fascinating reads, drinking coffee or catching recitals.
