One of the largest law libraries in the United Kingdom, housed in a landmark modern building by Leslie Martin and Colin St John Wilson, completed in 1964 and now listed at Grade II*. With over 550,00 volumes and access to a vast array of legal databases, our resources cover almost the entire legal spectrum and are used not only by our own students and staff but also by the wider legal community and by visitors from other universities both in the UK and abroad. The building will be presented as a work of architecture and as a centre of research and learning, with the hope that visitors will be able to see the relationship between these two aspects. 

Tours: Friday 12 September at 15:00 and 17:00; Saturday 13 September at 11:00. Minimum age 11. Individuals under 18 to be accompanied by an adult. Each tour will have 20 places and will last approximately 1 hour. Advance booking required.
