There is fury as the British Library has been forced to call the police due to so many people caught having sex in the loos.

A visitor complained to the library about the “totally unacceptable” things happening in the institution’s toilets.

They were told that bosses are aware and have been forced to call in security and police to try and put a stop to it.

Students and local workers have been arranging to meet at the library on a “cruisers” website.

According to the Sun, the site advertises the library as being a meeting spot for casual sex with a “vast amount of toilets” on site.

But it does warn of regular police and security patrols, with reports of those using the spot to meet up being escorted off the site.

Last night the library at London’s King’s Cross denounced the conduct.

A spokesperson said: “The British Library is a public institution and our site at St Pancras is visited by more than one million people every year.

“All of the Library’s public areas and facilities, including the toilets, are regularly patrolled by on-site security staff to ensure that they are being used appropriately.

“Inappropriate behaviour is not tolerated and the Library works closely with the police to ensure the safety and security of the Library’s buildings and users.”

The British Library is a research library and is one of the largest in the world as a legal deposit library (meaning it receives copies of all books produced in the United Kingdom and Ireland).

It was historically part of the British Museum but became its own entity in 1973. It is open to anyone with a need to use the collections and services.
