This free to visit library is located on the fifth floor of the Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall, overlooking the Thames. Founded by the Arts Council in 1953, it was opened by none other than TS Eliot, before relocating to this site in 1988, where Seamus Heaney had the honour of opening its facilities. Today it is the largest public collection of modern poetry in the world.
