Charing Cross Library

Super friendly staff who went above and beyond to help me!! Easy to use printing and photocopying facilities, highly recommended :)

I don't recomend students to study here. The library in general is decent but once you go up to the computer room to study it's a mess. There are a lot of homeless people who stay here and take up spaces to sleep and the stink. If you want to study, do it at home at your own comfort.

It's lots of Chinese books there although they are not very good but the amount gives me familiarity.

Best community space for people love reading and learning chinese language. Very central location, next to national gallery, china town and major train line. Lovely dedicated children’s library with a monthly Chinese learning group run by Chinese enthusiastic families and experienced teachers to support each other.

The Librarian who served me today was exceptionally helpful. She took plenty of time to help me. I am so glad she served me on 31/01/2023 afternoon. Thanks

This is my local library at work. What distinguishes this library from others is that it stocks a huge selection of books in Chinese.It also has a lot of manga/comic books, although these are in English and not in Chinese (unfortunately for me, because I am used to reading them in Chinese! Japanese translates better into Chinese than English!)There are two floors, a good selection of books, and they even sort the books into newly arrived, books you should read etc. near the door which I appreciate very much when I am just browsing for a new author.There are computer desks upstairs for use, and mainly reference books and language books there. Stocked downstairs are the Chinese books, Sci Fi/Fantasy/Crime and Children's books.The staff are quite nice and helpful in general, some staff can speak Chinese, of which I'm sure the Chinese community are very appreciative.The book reservation service is also very efficient. They sort it by name and stack the reserved books on a shelf so you can use the self check-out to borrow books. Yes, they have state of the art machines there, doesn't that make you just want to come and visit?

Good library but the one in Crouch end is much better

Good mixture of books in different languages. Surprisingly, there is a room at the basement running a Chinese opera on Friday afternoon.There's a group of senior Chinese citizens are practicing old opera songs. It's so great that the old Chinese traditional opera singing still present.

A peaceful environment and historical building with a considerable selection of Chinese books. There’s a summer withdrawn sale going on for some of the books. We brought one home at 20p.

The staff is very gentle and lovely. There are many books. Much appreciated！
