Hatchards
London, England, W1J 9LE, United Kingdom
Passionate bookworms can get lost for hours in this charming old-fashioned shop, the oldest surviving bookstore in London. Established in 1797, the shop has served some of the country’s greatest political and literary figures, including Queen Charlotte, Rudyard Kipling and Oscar Wilde. Contemporary writers are equally enchanted by Hatchards and often hold their only London book signings there, resulting in a spectacular collection of signed editions. Behind the antique green façade, more than 100,000 titles are stacked in every nook and cranny of the four-floor interior, which is also home to gorgeous Georgian reproduction chairs and a warm, knowledgeable staff.
Insider Tip:
If you’re visiting London with hopelessly stuffed suitcases, there’s no need to begin weighing belongings against books; Hatchards offers a fantastic mail order department that delivers anywhere in the world.
