British Library

I've been banging on about wanting to go to the British Library in London for absolutely ages, so now I'm finally achieving the dream and heading there on Tuesday. I'm feeling slightly terrified, as I've never been in such a massive library (I'd really like it to be like the one from the Stephen Moffat episode of Doctor Who in the last series...except without the flesh-eating darkness, which would considerably hinder my research) and I have visions of getting lost/trapped/squashed under a huge pile of books. But I have a feeling I might fall in love with the place.

The main reason that I'm going is for dissertation research, although I'm hoping to have a good wander round as well. And try out the coffee shop, obviously. You can't visit these sort of places without sampling the coffee. And going to the shop, and possibly buying a pencil sharpener, or book bag, or a postcard.

So with all this coffee drinking, shop browsing and aimless wandering, I think I'll be really quite busy. Oh, and I might try a bit of 'reading' (whatever) if I can fit it in.
