I mostly read during commute or in my flat. But my flat is basically a jumbo sized oven when the weather is like this and I find it hard to read. I tried the British Library in Kings Cross London. It was good.
Any other cafes/libraries/public places which you think are good for sitting and reading? |

"There’s a gorgeous coffee shop inside the Barbican that I don’t think is too hot. A gorgeous place to chill and read. "
Oh nice. It would be great if it's air conditioned and I don't have to sell a kidney to pay for a tea |

"Are there any green common areas around your flat? I take a fold up chair into my common areas and read there. (Others sunbathe there, so I'm not alone, except I wear a massive hat and seek shade)"
There is a big park near me. But lots of friends go around there when it's sunny. Hard to sit there and read without being disturbed. But I am happy to go far to other parts of London. Will look for parks like that  |

Oh I mean - in the carpark of my apartment complex there's a pitiful area of lawn 
During the early lockdowns there would be three or four sunbathers and me on my chair with my book |

"University libraries are always good. And any cafe with a covered outside space where I can drink coffee and let my attention wander from my book to the world walking past.
G"
It's a lovely feeling to just sit there, read and let the mind wander, isn't it? |
