Slightly too many pictures now for the amount of text. I wish people would upload all their pictures to commons - only one is.

The caption to the interior panorama photo reads "almost 180 degree view" but based on the number of pairs of windows visible (fifteen out of twenty) this looks more like 270 degrees. The photo and current caption together give the impression that the reading room is bigger on the inside than on the outside.

Ipcress File
Wasn't this scene actually shot in the old Science Museum library, when it was still located in the middle of the old
Royal College of Science building at Imperial College, before that building was knocked down in the 1970s?

Is this the same reading room featured in the
Enoch Soames short story? If so, a mention of this should be added to the "References in art and popular culture" section.

Popular culture
An old popular culture mention: In Gerard Hoffnung's comedy routine about becoming a tour guide in London, in which he gives tourists some rather questionable advice, one of the lines is "Have you tried the famous echo in the Reading Room of the British Museum?"
