Before the large central building was created at the Euston Road site, the library’s collections were housed at several locations around London including Bloomsbury, Chancery Lane and Bayswater. During the early stages of planning, there was a great deal of debate and contention regarding the building of a single central library and the effect it would have on its historical predecessors. However, it was eventually built and has proven to be a success, drawing in millions of visitors from around the city and the wider world every year.
