The George & Dragon

Pub

👍 Great old country pub with probably the best beer garden in the world. Great selection of ales etc but the slowest service in the world. If you are in a hurry this is not the place for you but if you want to drink in the view you are in the right place.

Leeds Central Library

Library

🫤 So i visited the Leeds library today as I had an exam in the area and needed a queit place to sit and revise before the exam. The building itself is lovely and there was enough seating. I sat at a table and began revising, however it was very difficult to focus when all I could hear was the staff b...

Morecambe Library

Library

👍 People eating tuna sandwiches nearby having a loud chat really put me off and I couldn’t concentrate on my work. I asked librarian if that was allowed and was told yes, people do it from time to time! Aren’t libraries supposed to be quiet not to mention the stink from the food? Besides this, this pl...

The Leeds Library

Library

👍👍 Amazing: step through a normal doorway on a busy Leeds side street and you'll enter a secret world you'll think came straight from a Harry Potter film set. But no this is real, and you can wander the stacks and meander the through room after room of historic and modern books, drinking in the atmosp...

Accrington Library

Library

🫤 The manager woman NEVER EVER smiles with really bad customer service and management skills. Scruffy looking always with bad manners and not polite speaking. Keyboards are ALWAYS dirty.

Skelmersdale Library

Leyland Library

Library

4.60 (38 reviews) (~79.16 km from centre)

Oldham Library

Library

😠 Great place to go if you’ve got nothing better to do. Awful place to go if you want to study. It’s the loudest library in the world with seemingly no policy on noise. If there’s not a music lesson on in the middle of study areas, there’s probably a screaming kid next to an uninterested parent. Even...
