Lifestyle | Foodie | Family | Bryony on Instagram: "London in full swing 🇬🇧 Wandering the city and it's like stepping into a film - red phone boxes glowing at night, buses streaking past in long exposures, the Thames throwing back every colour the skyline could manage. Even the side streets had their own personality: graffiti walls, hidden alleys, little pockets of chaos and charm that make the city alive. London spans over 607 square miles and is made up of 32 boroughs, each with its own character, pace and identity. You can drift from King’s Cross into the British Library and ended up losing track of time in their hybrid library‑museum world - the kind of place where you go in for a breather and come out feeling like you’ve walked through a century. Proper country‑girl‑in‑the‑city moment, wandering around. Inside the British Library’s hybrid library‑museum space: • A full book‑museum vibe tucked inside a working national library • Artist books displayed like sculptures • A historic printing press set up like it’s ready to run again • Book‑themed installations and creative benches • Cultural exhibits that feel like tiny worlds of their own • Shelves of rare manuscripts and archives you can feel humming with history Then it was straight back into the rhythm again. King’s Cross itself is a whole experience – the rush of people, the architecture, the constant movement. Trains pulling in and out, the roof catching the light, the whole place buzzing like it’s the city’s heartbeat. King’s Cross energy: • Platforms humming with commuters, tourists, and people in a hurry to be somewhere • That huge arched roof turning the station into a cathedral of steel and light • Carriages with countryside views sliding past like paintings And somewhere between the river, the bridges and the people you can see the London Eye! Definitely not a sight you can miss and a reminder that the city has layers and if you’re not paying attention you’ll miss them. Nights spilled into neon, reflections on wet pavements, the city switching on as the sun dipped. Days stitched together in shutter clicks – sights, stations, night energy, and all the in‑between moments that make London feel like it’s always in motion."

One of the most stunning building interior spaces I've ever seen is at the Biblioteca Vasconcelos in Mexico City's Cuauhtémoc borough.

The exterior is fortress-like and you'd never know from the outside what lies within (I didn't get a good shot of the exterior). Gardens surround the building and landscaped terraces and balconies are accessible from the inside.

The structure holds a single interior space that's 820 feet (250 m) long and 90 feet (27 m) high, with the library's shelves stacked into eight levels that are cantilevered and appear to hang or float in space. It's breathtaking.

Vision of the Future Public Library

When the designer envisioned this future public library, the goal was not merely to create a building, but to craft a living knowledge experience. The space was designed to be more than just a repository for books, it is a place that sparks curiosity, instills serenity, and stimulates the mind to explore and reflect. #FuturePublicLibrary #LibraryArchitecture

Upper Library, Gonville & Caius College, Cambridge UK.

Originally designed as a new wing for the Cambridge University Library, this building was never completed. The University Library moved to a new location in 1934 and this room served as the Squire Law Library until it got its own building in 1996 and was claimed by Gonville & Caius College.

Bibliotheksaal Reichsabtei Schussenried.

The lavish library room of the Schussenried Abbey in Baden-WĂĽrttemberg, Germany is part of the "Neue Kloster" built between 1752 and 1763 by Abbot Siard Frick under plans by architect Dominikus Zimmermann.

The project was interrupted in 1763 when funds ran out and the abbot was dismissed.
