For anyone who likes books, exploring new bookshops while traveling is one of the most rewarding experiences. Many cities have small bookshops in which you can discover new treasures, and one of our favorite cities for bookshop browsing is definitely London.
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.
