- British Library of Political and Economic Science
The British Library of Political and Economic Science (also known as the BLPES or as the LSE Library) is the main library of the London School of Economics in London, England. The library, founded in 1896, is the largest social sciences library in the world, containing over 4 million printed volumes. The library is located on Portugal Street, just north of the main buildings of the school. The current building is the former headquarters and warehouse facilities of WH Smith, opened in 1916 and taken over by the LSE in 1976, to be reopened as a library in 1978. The building was heavily renovated between 1999-2001, redesigned by Foster and Partners, with a distinctive atrium and circular staircase designed by Norman Foster, costing over a million pounds. It also has Bloomberg Terminal machines with live feed of economic markets and data analyst.
