Now based at Senate House in the University of London the Institute libraries is a fantastic source for classicists especially those based in or around London. Membership costs £15 at present for undergraduates and £25-27 for others. It is well worth looking at their site, especially if you're doing research as there may well be a reduction in the costs in certain cases.
Also:

Reading University have a couple of excellent sites for the Classics:
