Unique bookshop where the décor makes you feel as if time stopped in the Edwardian age. It has a cosy, enticing atmosphere, so if you're a book lover you'll very likely spend long hours here!

Using London as a base to travel Europe (or the world)? You must come here - stock up on guidebooks, literature from the place you're traveling to, and/or to get inspired to start traveling again!

Eman Abdulaziz

Excellent interior but the bookstore is mainly focused on travel books . They have good selection of most recent best seller books . I didn't like how the arrange the categories by country not subject.

S Marks The Spots

Housed in a former Edwardian bookshop , the interior has a very classic and nostalgic feel. Oak galleries , wooden floors and travel books organized by country - perfect for reading and travelling fans. Read more

You would wish this place was in your neighbourhood. Very cute , rich selection of travel litterature, but also fiction and curiosa like calendars

M.G. Siegler

A truly excellent, old school bookstore . Worth it to see the interior alone. Also great selection of books about the UK.

Kaitlin

Positively gorgeous bookshop , with a focus on travel, geography, and history books — though they have a bit of everything and a nice fiction section, too!

Surprisingly large. Fiction section not huge, but that's not what they're going for, as they're more interested in arts , non-fiction and travel.

20 December: A perfect traveller's bookshop , it is a grand Edwardian bookshop , with a dark green and oak frontage and thousands of books inside, arranged by country .

Lauren Rubin Tiley

London's best independent and well curated bookshop , sort of the London equivalent of the Strand without the miles of books or jumble sale environment.
