If you’re in London and looking for something to read, here are our suggestions on where to look.

Stanfords, Covent Garden

This iconic bookshop should be the number one stop for all the bibliophiles visiting London. It’s packed with travel books, guides, maps, and gifts. The shop often hosts events.

Opened in Bloomsbury in 2003, The London Review of Books offers the best literary works you can find. The shop focuses on classic and new fiction, history, philosophy, and politics.

Daunt Books, Marylebone

Daunt Books is often called the most beautiful bookshop in London. The books are arranged by country so you should have a lot of fun exploring.

Cecil Court, also known as the Bookseller’s Row, allegedly inspired J.K. Rowling’s Diagon Alley from her Harry Potter books. The street is pretty old — it dates back to the 17th century, and it was always home of multiple bookshops. Today, there are around 20 antique and vintage bookshops in the street. The shopfronts didn’t change much during the past century so you can expect a time-travel effect while browsing for books, old maps, theatre posters, etc.

This very street was once a temporary home to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. He stayed there during his European tour, and there’s even a rumor that this is where he composed his first symphony. If you happen to be in London, you shouldn’t miss this magical street that makes time go slower.

London is home to dozens of beautiful and quirky stores in which you can find all kinds of books. From big bookshop chains to small, independent shops that sell antique editions, we’re sure everyone can find something for themselves.

If you’re in London and looking for something to read, here are our suggestions on where to look.

Stanfords, Covent Garden

This iconic bookshop should be the number one stop for all the bibliophiles visiting London. It’s packed with travel books, guides, maps, and gifts. The shop often hosts events.

London Review, Bloomsbury

Opened in Bloomsbury in 2003, The London Review of Books offers the best literary works you can find. The shop focuses on classic and new fiction, history, philosophy, and politics.

Daunt Books, Marylebone

Daunt Books is often called the most beautiful bookshop in London. The books are arranged by country so you should have a lot of fun exploring.

]]> There’s a small, hidden street in London that’s a real treat for anyone who’s into old books and related things. Cecil Court is located near Wyndham’s Theatre and connects Charing Cross Road and St. Martin’s Lane. If you don’t know it’s there, it’s easy to miss it. 

Cecil Court, also known as the Bookseller’s Row, allegedly inspired J.K. Rowling’s Diagon Alley from her Harry Potter books. The street is pretty old — it dates back to the 17th century, and it was always home of multiple bookshops. Today, there are around 20 antique and vintage bookshops in the street. The shopfronts didn’t change much during the past century so you can expect a time-travel effect while browsing for books, old maps, theatre posters, etc.

This very street was once a temporary home to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. He stayed there during his European tour, and there’s even a rumor that this is where he composed his first symphony. If you happen to be in London, you shouldn’t miss this magical street that makes time go slower.
