It's by no means a given but there seems to be some correlation between introverts and people who carry novels in their bags. But even bookworms are neglecting the places that used to be their temples. There are loads of libraries all over London and they will be very happy to have you, should you wish to sit indoors somewhere, surrounded by the printed word and being very quiet. Most of the big ones aren't worth bothering with (especially the London Library, which costs insane amounts to join). You're better off picking whatever library is closest to you and developing an "on-nodding-terms" relationship with the librarians. They're often housed in beautiful old buildings and contain reading rooms in which your only table-neighbours will be other people who don't want to chat. Kentish Town is one of the best, as it's big enough to house multiple lone-readers and small enough to feel perfectly cozy. Bliss.
