King's College Library

Cracking the Code

With the keystone and Teabing in Rémy’s clutches, Robert and Sophie rush from Temple Church via Temple Underground station to the King’s College Library. They are in a race against time to unravel the clue from the cryptex, so they can catch up with their rival and save Leigh Teabing.The library is not actually adjacent to Parliament as described in the book. The King’s campus found on the opposite bank of the Thames is, in fact, the Faculty of Medicine. The room depicted is actually the Reading Room of the Maughan Library on Chancery Lane, just a short walk from Temple Church. It is octagonal with a round table in the middle just as described. However, the University aren’t keen on visitors without library cards!
