Visiting Us
Christmas and New Year Closure
Please note that the Linnean Society is closed to the public from 25 December 2024 to 5 January 2025 (both days inclusive). Our library and exhibition will remain closed for a further fortnight, for annual housekeeping, reopening on 21 January 2025.
Outside of the Christmas and New Year closure, we are open to the public Tuesday–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.
Please note that our lift is currently out of service (as of 13 November 2024). We are working to repair it as soon as possible. We apologise for the inconvenience.
