My favourite second hand bookshop in the West End. You could spend hours in there. The owner is very helpful.
Lovely little bookshop with a huge library on offer. Very reasonable prices too. Sort of place you could wander for hours. Went in for a quick browse on my most recent visit and left with six books.
So cute, but man alive it’s hot in there. Not the easiest to find either, but the selection of sheet music makes it worth it!
Lovely shop with a huge selection of sheet music! Worth a visit
Double whoa. Great selection or sheet music and I've stumbled upon on most of Tolkien's work - clean, used books with great prices. And especially adore the sci-fi section dude
