London Review Bookshop

From the inviting and stimulating presentation to the quality of the books selected, this is an inspiring bookshop. Politics, current affairs and history are well represented on the ground floor; downstairs, audiobooks lead on to exciting poetry and philosophy sections, everything you’d expect from a shop owned by the purveyor of long-form critical writing that is the London Review of Books. It also hosts an excellent programme of evening in-conversation events, usually taking place once or twice a week and often recorded for the shop’s podcast.
