Libraries and Study Spaces

Queen Mary University of London has three libraries across its London campuses: Mile End, Whitechapel and West Smithfield.

Mile End Library houses a large collection of multi-disciplinary materials. Whitechapel and West Smithfield libraries cover all aspects of Medicine and Dentistry. You can use any of our libraries regardless of what course you are studying.

To use the libraries you will need your student ID card. This acts as your library card. Once you've collected your student ID card you can use any of our spaces. You will automatically have a library account - you don't need to register.

Library Services offers a variety of Study Spaces to suit your needs. Find the zone that works best for you.  

There are many other places to study across our campuses, including spaces inside academic and QMSU buildings. For a full list, please visit the Study spaces across campus page.

Some of our study spaces are bookable in advance. You can book using our online booking system, LibCal. 

See our Opening Hours page to find out when we are open and how to find each space. For information about each of the Queen Mary campuses, please visit the How to Find Us page.
