Welcome to The Linnean Society of London

Visiting Us

Opening Times

We are open to the public Tuesday to Friday, 10am–5pm (excluding public holidays).

Book a space in our library for quiet study, or to access our collections for research. Please visit our Collections pages for the latest service updates, and email library@linnean.org for more information.

Our Online Collections are moving! There will be a few weeks when they will be unavailable, anticipated to start on 28 February. Please look out for announcements about the launch of our new platform - Linnean Online.

We regret that our lift is currently out of service. We are working to have it up and running again as soon as possible. We apologise for the inconvenience (Updated: February 2025).
