The British Library is a Grade I Heritage building, so hopefully it will last longer than that. http://www.bl.uk/press-releases/2015/july/british-library-recei

  Ugh, really? This [1] place? Really? For the content certainly. The architecture is lowest-bidder-public-building, like they make schools and public swimming pools out of. My wife rather aghast that the treasures inside would be housed in such an ugly box and talked about it for several days after we visited it. 1 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Library#/media/File:British_library_london.jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Library#/media/File:Br...

    I was also outraged by the listing until i went inside. It's rather good inside. It's a shame about the outside, but i suppose people spend more time inside buildings than outside them.
