Updated opening hours this week due to tube strikes

Our St Pancras opening hours will be affected from Tuesday 21 – Friday 24 April due to planned strikes on the London Underground.

20 April 2026

The opening hours for this week are listed below:

  • Tuesday 21 April: Opening time as normal (09.30). Closing time 19.00.
  • Wednesday 22 April: Opening time changed to 10.00 (exhibition ticket holders can access the building from 09.30). Closing time as normal (20.00)

  • Friday 24 April: Opening time changed to 10.00 (exhibition ticket holders can access the building from 09.30). Closing time as normal (18.00).

On Wednesday and Friday we will aim to have most of the Reading Rooms open by 10.30. If we can open any Reading Rooms earlier, we will do so.

Any exhibition bookers affected by the early closure on Tuesday have been contacted.

There are also dates planned further ahead in May and June and we will communicate any impact on opening hours closer to the time.

Thank you for your understanding.
