Best Bookish Places in London
| October 19, 2015
Foyle’s Bookshop
Foyle’s flagship shop is located on Charing Cross Road, about ten minutes from the British Museum. It has four stories (plus a coffee shop) absolutely brimming with books. Whole floors are almost exclusively devoted to genres like history, young adult and children’s, etc. The ground floor has a lot of bookish gifts and knick-knacks for your book-lover friends (or, let’s be honest, for yourself).
Once you go here, you will never be able to appreciate Barnes and Noble again. There are whole shelves devoted to Victorian England. How many books about that era were at Barnes and Noble on my recent visit? Zilch. America.
