I'm not a book person but I went there to buy something for my friend. This place is amazing! It's heaven for all the bookaholics in this world.

Bhavani Esapathi

I fell in love with this shop - the decor, wide selection of books and not to forget the awesome stationary makes you want to move there! Are there any other such awe-inspiring bookstores , tell me!

Chris Phillips

Probably one of the best book shops in the world. You could spend all day inside (there's a café should you need food or drink).

David Thair

The new cafe lacks the ambience of Ray's Jazz Cafe , but it now does a great range of food that hasn't been outsourced to Benugo or Peyton & Byrne, which is a rarity in London.

Aaria Johnson

Such an spacious area. Amazing book collections. New as well as old and very rare books are also available at discounted and reasonable prices. Good art galleries . Nice place with cafe for chilling.

Matt Ta-Min

New layout has really improved on what was already the best bookshop in London . Amazing selection of books . Drop in for a quick visit and prepare to end up spending a long long time browsing.

Louis Vuitton

The largest bookstore in London, Foyles is the epicenter of London's bibilophilic beaten path. Amidst four floors there is literally no book that you will not find. Kristin Knox, The Clothes Whisperer

H. S. Campoy

This was the best bookstore I visited until now.. I found literature from so many countries , including Brazil... Jorge Amado, Clarisce Lispector in portuguese!! Amazing space...

NoMade InMongolia

Book heaven. Huge selection and seats available. Helpful and friendly staff at every corner. Check out the manga section on the second floor.

This bookstore is one of the best. It's almost impossible you can't fond the book you want. 5 floors with everything you need. Literally you can spend one day here:

Love the cafe at Foyles! Great place to come and work and the food and coffee is also really good, especially the iced americano

Michael Ambjorn

Check out their events - and also the cool book locator via their free WiFi .

Holly Bassett

With five stores in London and one in Bristol, I'm sure you won't miss out on heading to the biggest of them all at 107 Charing Cross Road ; 37,000 square feet of space and four floors!

Mark Ashworth

Huge, newly renovated bookstore with tonnes of interesting books to browse through and has great suggestions from the staff . The cafe is always crowded and the pastries are a bit disappointing.

Yiota Pap

My favourite bookstore in London! You can stay there for hours browsing through their huge selection and in the end you will find any book you are looking for!

It's very easy to wile away a day browsing the biggest (& most charming) bookshop in London , especially because there's a great cafe & free wifi . Staff really helpful & not pretentious at all.

Wimdu - Simply Better Than a Hotel

The most impressive independent bookshop in London . Large stock, fair prices and a knowledgeable service ! They have also a Café , nice bohemian spot where you can tranquilly read your new purchases.

Fantastic bookstore that was needed in London after Borders went bust. Although the coffee shop should have been a bit larger

London Hare

Delicious coffee , cakes , and tea . Carrot cake is a must! ps.I reviewed this great Café on my blog www.londonhare.tumblr.com

Fatima Al-Halwachi

A reader's haven! From music to food, education , art , spirituality & almost every category you can think of. Staff are helpful & the cafe is pleasant too.

Nicholas Ng

One of a better bookstores in London. Good selection of arts and design book but their architecture books selection could be better.

Maria Arnaoutaki

I can spend many hours in this bookstore . Make sure to try the cafe on the 5th floor.

Budoor Bahareth

Although i like the small shops rather. Than the big chains this foyles is very relaxed with a lot of sitting and reading spaces and help whenever needed

Nikolai Ratulowski

For someone who lives in a rural place, Foyles is a book heaven. I didn't feel so much excitement as then. I wish someday I could afford to live near this paradise.

Mag

Marxism and anarchism have their own book sections. 'Nuff said.

Hani E

One of my favourite bookshops in London . The cafe is quite lovely as well .

Ash Huang

Cafe was super crowded , but a great selection of books , especially writers from the UK (fun to look through as I'm from the US)

Helen Zhang

Cafe on the 5th floor is one of my favorite places in London to grab a coffee and a pastry and work/read

Akua Obeng-Frimpong

Visit the gallery on the top floor. Also, their cafe has a buzzy and chilled environment - free jazz performances and regularly updated displays of art on the walls.

Caroline

Gigantic and well-known bookshop . If there's something you're looking for, chances are you'll find it here or someone who will know how to find it. Be sure to check their events calendar!

Alvin Tien

This place has easily become my favourite book store in London. Modern and large collection.

Aidu F

Amazing selection of books available. Worth a visit for bookworms.

Çağrı Turhan

A true temple for book lovers. Selection, classification and everything inside that place makes you feel good.

The new store has cemented Foyles as the place for books in London. Depth of many sections can be equaled in few other bookstores .

Nathaniel Akodu

Most amazing book store love the environment and always feel like I’m entering a new level of inspiration of reading when I entrt

Magdalena Wojtaszek

Absolutely in love with this place. Can be here for hours and have never enough ????.

One of the biggest bookshops in London -if not the biggest. You can find any book you need.

Colin Charles

Nice bookshop . It's huge. Pay for books and visit the cafe that's usually crowded . Friendly staff to boot!

Victor Chu

The peripheral products are great, especially when all bookstores are selling same books .

Matt Short

A huge range of books . If you’re not sure what you want to read, come here as they cater for almost every taste.

John 忠威 suɐɥ Dyke????

If you get off a Tottenham Court Road Tube station follow the route past centrepoint to the back of the Crossrail works. Rejoin Tottenham Court Road . It's not far.

NoneOneMany Simon Rahilly

Possibly the best bookshop in the world :-) Use the free wifi and shopsearch.foyles.co.uk to search for books *inside* the shop

Laura Ana Zaharia

So many books , even a selection of foreign ones like Korean, Chinese and Japanese novels (original language!!)

Florian Isachsen

Huge theatre related sections, from dramas to professional literature! You won't find that in any Waterstone's.

Edith S

Recently moved a few doors down the road : stunning bookshop , but the move means floor locations on most Foursquare tips are out of date!

TomFeb Tassignon-Lubis

The people that work here are really helpful & willing to bend over backwards to assist you. But they should have stocks for an author that will be coming next week. No stocks was pretty embarrasing.

Anthony Cameron

Huge bookstore with a fantastic selection. The cafe on the 5th floor is really nice.
