Please complete our Library Visit form to apply for a temporary e-pass for accessing King's College London libraries as a member of the University of London (note: this will only allow you access to the library, not King’s Buildings)

If your application is successful, during your visit please make sure you have a valid form of photo ID with you. Security can still deny access to Library Visit Pass holders if sufficient identification is not available.

Please fill out the application form and plan your visit in advance. You should receive a reply and your e-pass (when your application is approved) within 3 working days.
