A city as old as time, London is full of history and tradition and sometimes the best way to see a city is through the lens of a great novel set in a period now passed. Allow yourself to step back in time inside these London bookstores:
Stanfords
Perfectly positioned in the artsy end of West London, Stanfords is a travel book store full of great travel books, guides, globes, and maps.
12-14 Long Acre, Covent Garden, London
Foyles
Nearby you will find Foyles, an oversized multi-story bookstore with every book you will ever need and many you knew you didn’t (but perhaps still bought anyway).
Daunt Books
As the prettiest book store in London set in idyllic Marylebone, Daunt Books is one bookstore you absolutely cannot afford to miss.
84 Marylebone High St, Marylebone, London
Gosh! Bookstore
Located in Soho is this graphic novel and comic book store full of indie nabs and household names.
I also love a good bookstore. Doyle’s is my favourite in London. I must check the beautiful room in Daunt!
You missed the best one, Hatchards on Piccadilly, it’s the oldest bookstore in London, established in 1797. I love Hatchards and visit every time I’m in London, it’s been at the current location for 200 years so has a beautiful old world feel to it.
Adding all of these to my list! Wandering through bookstores in foreign countries is one of my favorite past times.
