The BFI library is at 21 Stephen Street, off Tottenham Court Road (which
is just up from Charing Cross Road where the library formerly was).
Opening times are 1030-1730 hours on Mondays and Fridays, 1030-2000
hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays and 1300-2000 hours on Wednesdays. To
gain access you have to pay a membership fee which can be on a daily or
annual basis.
