Guildhall Library

Free, no membership, open on weekdays only, which is the fact that catches people out at a weekend. It is a reference library specialising in the history of London, so the stock stays in the building and the desks are set up for reading and note-taking rather than borrowing. Free WiFi and study desks, and it is rarely crowded for a room this central.
