Article Abstract:

There are now plans to convert the Roundhouse, a Victorian building in London, UK, which has originally an engine shed but has also served as a bonded liquor store and a rock concert venue, into the British Architectural Library. This library, which includes more than 135,000 books and 1,400 rounds of old or rare periodicals, is currently houses in various locations in London and elsewhere. The Roundhouse is in an ideal location for such a facility, as it is at the centre of Camden Market and therefore easily accessible.
