Such a charming bookshop close to the British Museum. Quiet, cozy, and filled with great books.
One of my favorite bookshops in London! I got to see the longlists and shortlists of the Booker Prize, as well as buy my best friend a signed copy of Arundhati Roy’s book! I love that they feature a Writer Of The Month near the cashier area as well. The staff were so lovely and helped me wrap the book with no hesitation when I told them it was a gift for someone - and with no additional charge.
