Bromley House Library, founded in 1816, is a flourishing independent lending library situated in the centre of Nottingham and is one of the few remaining subscription libraries in the country. The building houses nearly 50,000 books and has a tranquil and relaxed atmosphere. In addition to the many fine reading rooms spread over three floors of a Grade II listed Georgian townhouse, there is a beautiful walled garden, which is one of only two remaining in the city centre.

Because the library is on the three upper floors of Bromley House, and there is no lift, it is not accessible to wheelchair users. It is a period house, and some of the stairs are quite steep.
Because of the age and geography of Bromley House, numbers are limited. If the visit is popular and more members want to come, we will arrange a further visit later in the year.
