Reopening Postponed Again

The Vaughan Williams Memorial Library re-opened to the public in December 2020, but is now closed again.

Our online archives continue to be accessible and free to all.

When we are able to open again for visits in person, we intend to do so regularly every Wednesday and Thursday. But this cannot happen until London returns to Tier 2 or lower Covid restrictions.

To ensure that we follow social distancing guidelines, the number of concurrent readers will need to be limited. We will be operating a booking system: if you wish to visit, you will need to email both This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. You can book a place for a whole day, or a half day, either 11am–1.15pm or 1.45pm–4pm. We ask that you book no later than 5pm on the day before your visit.

If you wish to visit briefly to pick up or drop off a book, you will not need to book a time slot, but please let us know when you intend to do this so it can be arranged.

Cecil Sharp House is a Covid-secure venue.
