Charles Clore House is situated on the corner of Bedford Way and Russell Square. Access to the ground floor reception is by the stairs. However, if you are unable to use the stairs there is a ramp that is at pavement level leading to an alternative entrance below these stairs. By pressing the bell push to the right of the door an attendant will be called who will open the door and give further assistance if required. There are two lifts available from this floor (L1) which provide access to all other floors within the building.  Wheelchair accessible toilets are available on Floor L1 and  inside the library on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th floors. If you require any other help do not hesitate to ask a member of the IALS staff. For more information about the building and the entrances, please see the AccessAble guide to the building and the AccessAble guide to the library.
