Inner Temple Library

Inner Temple Library Inns of Court Library serving barristers, judges and bar students in England and Wales. Open to members of all four Inns of Court.

The Library is first mentioned in the Inn's records in 1506. Since then there have been a number of Library buildings which have met a variety of fates. One was destroyed by the Great Fire of London in 1666, another was blown up in 1679 to prevent a fire spreading from Middle Temple and a third was destroyed by the Luftwaffe in 1941, although by that time many of the books had been, albeit belated

ly, removed to safety. The present Library building, designed by T.W. Sutcliffe, was constructed after the war and did not reopen until 1958. The current redesign, opened in 2022, is built over one floor, with eight rooms of various sizes. The Library interior is very traditional in style with oak panelled rooms.
