No she doesn't: I don't think it's available in the online version, 
but in the print edition of The Times she "regrets" that Marx wrote 
his books in the British Library...

The British Museum is still there; it's the Library that has been 
displaced (I never used the old one, but rather like the new one in 
St Pancras).

How did you know it was Marx's chair you sat on? (Haven't they been 
renumbered from time to time, and is there a good record of which one 
he used to use?)
