Best Bookish Places in London

Word on the Water
Houseboats line the canals in London, but what you might not expect to find is an actual bookshop on the water! The book barge (known as Word on the Water) travels between Camden Lock, Angel, Hackney and Paddington, and moors at each stop for two weeks to sell a quirky collection of books. On a sunny day, they will be lined along the boat’s exterior, where you can browse as you pass by. But you are also welcome to step on board and explore below.
Find out more about this awesome shop on their Twitter and Facebook pages.
