There aren't many interiors in the world that have such strong linear and spiral leading lines. I recommend that everyone visits the LSE Library, but it's especially intriguing if you're a fan of modern architecture photography. The futuristic look of the elevators is unlike anything else you'll see while visiting the city, so make sure to put this location on your itinerary!

This image was taken inside LSE Library: The British Library of Political and Economic Science looking at the elevators, which are right next to the entrance of the library. The easiest way to get to this location is by taking public transportation and then walking.
To get the same perspective, walk down to the bottom of the elevators and then look up.
Note: This is a private library that's part of the London School of Economics (LSE). In order to access the library, you'll need to get permission and a visitors pass from the school before your visit. Check out their website for contact information: www.lse.ac.uk/library.
