Leonard Street, PH2 8HB. November TWO IN ONE: MAUGHAN LIBRARY & TEMPLE CHURCH Friday 3 November City of London, 10.30am & 2pm A rare opportunity to visit the Maughan Library, usually reserved for students, for a guided tour followed by an optional lunch and a visit to the historic Temple Church nearby. The guided library visit begins at 11am, after coffee and biscuits, and will take in the original cells, special collections (including many works in foreign languages) and beautiful rooms. There will be a talk tracing the building's history from 1232 through conversions and demolitions, to 1998, when Kings College London acquired the Rolls Estate and modernised it to house its four libraries. At midday we will head to one of the nearby cafés/restaurants for lunch, before moving on to the magnificent Temple Church at 2pm, and wandering around its circular walls, full of history.
