The Pepys Library

Come and see the fascinating library collection of Samuel Pepys at Magdalene College Cambridge. The library is housed in their original bookcases, or ‘book presses’ as Pepys called them, and the collection includes his original diaries. Upon entering the library, we will ask you to keep your bags in the library office. This is to ensure the safety and security of the bookcases. Please note that there are periodic closures of the library thoughtout the year; for dates of closure please see our website. Groups of over 10 people must book a group tour in advance, outside of the public opening hours. For further details please see our website. We regret that, due to the historic nature of the building, that there is no lift access to the library and that children under 6 years old cannot be admitted. We hope to improve our access and provision for children in the future as part of the College's 'Future Foundations' fundraising campaign.

Most churches are built on the cruciform or cross principal. This one is round from about 1130 AD and modelled upon the Holy Sepulchre built by Constantine in Jerusalem over Christ’s tomb. The design is called Romanesque and it is often seen in France - but rarely seen in England. I was warmly welcomed by the staff upon arrival and enjoyed an interesting video on Cambridge. The church itself is fasdcinating architecture inside but especially outside.

Reviewed By 798rosa - Thetford, United Kingdom

We were invited to a 60th birthday party with a nearly 91 year old, on arriving we were helped by the door/car park attendants to make his arrival in his wheelchair very easy the staff bent over backwards to help. On getting up the lift we were greeted by a very nice young lady who promptly shew us where to go.The young waiters were very polite and efficient , the meal was absolutely delicious . A great night, and for someone who has had greyhounds all of his long life and who had been to Peterborough many times a great night for him to remember and to reminisce.

Fantastic night at Elvis with Ben Portsmouth. Staff very friendly and helpful. Show was fantastic. Downside is that the council own some of the toilets so they were locked causing a massive queue for the ladies loo.
