Access to the Library is via the main Treasury building entrance on Crown Office Row. Lifts are available.

The Inner Temple car park has disabled parking bays. Parking is free for Blue Badge holders, but visitors should contact the Treasury Office in advance, so that a Temple parking permit can be left at Tudor Street Gatehouse for them to collect. The Treasury Office telephone number is 020 7797 8250.

Staff at the Enquiry Point will be happy to help users who are unable to access material they require e.g. material on high shelves or if they need help with equipment or software.

In the event of an emergency, we operate a system of assisted escape for users with disabilities. Enquiry Point staff can explain our emergency evacuation procedures and create a Personal Emergency Evacuation Plan (PEEP) if required.
