Specialized bookstores London

One of the largest bookstores dedicated to travel. Two floors are entirely dedicated to guidebooks, fine books, travelogues, maps, atlases and other travel necessities. If you forgot your UK/France adapter, or are looking for a travel scale after walking down Oxford Street, this is also the place to come. Lots of gift ideas, including a very popular world map poster where you can scratch off the countries you've visited. A small café on the first floor allows you to take time to think about your next destination.

This feminist bookshop has been archiving literature on the Women's Lib Movement, the political and intellectual feminist movement of the Western second wave, since 1975, and has a wider collection on feminism. It is one of the UK's most comprehensive and complete bookshops on the subject, capturing the richness and plurality of the movement. A real goldmine, run mainly by volunteers, who are always on hand to chat with you and recommend further reading!
