"The London Library, St Jamess. At No.14 St James’s Square, in what looks like a neat Georgian terrace, are the one million books of the London Library and the largest independent lending library in the world. Their policy of never throwing out a book, combined with keeping up-to-date with new titles, means the collection grows by 8,000 each year — and it’s nearly all available to take home. From some of the nation’s earliest books to contemporary journals, you can browse its seventeen miles and choose a bit to take home with you. A living, working, evolving resource — it’s the original Internet."
