Bookstores by Location- London

I inadvertently went to a lot of bookstores because my friend ended up getting sick half way through our trip.

  1. Hatchards- located in Picadilly. Known for being the oldest bookstore in London. Founded in the 18th century.
    • Doesn’t look as old as you would expect. So many choices.
    • Right next to the flagship Fortnum and Mason store.
  2. Foyles- located in Charing Cross. Known for having 5 floors!
    • I gasped when I walked in. I had no idea it was going to be so big.
    • I found one of my favorite books with a UK cover in it. Did you know that the U.S and the UK books have different cover designs?
  3. Daunt Books- located in Marylebone High Street. Known to cater to travelers.
    • One of the most impressive bookstores I have been in honestly. Part of it is organized by a part of the world. For example there was a section for the US, and different countries in Europe, Africa, and Asia. They also have a regular fiction and non-fiction section.
  4. Brick Lane Bookshop- located near the Brick Lane Vintage Market.
    • Everyone should go to the book store AND the vintage market.
    • Has a nice collection of new releases and books about London.
