What are the library opening hours?

Answer

Access to our libraries is under ongoing review as part of university-wide access arrangements, and we are aiming to increase access over the coming months. We will update access information once additional steps are confirmed.

Our libraries are currently closed to some external visitors (except for Special Collections and Archives), access is prioritised for current King’s students, staff, NHS members of the library, Alumni, eligible Independent Researchers, University of London (UoL) students and registered SCONUL Band-A users.

For other study spaces on campus outside of the libraries, please see Student Services article Where can I study on campus?

2 January - 9 June 2024

Maintenance closures can happen throughout the year, for more details please see our Library Alerts page.
