What are London's best shops for used books?

#London #bookstores #bookshops #antiquarianbooks

Bookwomble I'd love to be able to answer this, but it's been so long since I lived in easy commuting distance of London that I'll be hopelessly out of date! As to districts, Charing Cross Road is an obvious bookish place, as is the Bloomsbury area around the British Museum. The Atlantis Bookshop used to be a favourite of mine in the museum area. Are you planning a visit? 1y

Sarah83 You shopped too much? 😂 7y
Heideschrampf @Sarah83 is there such a thing as too much book shopping? Also: all except the signed editions are second habd and all together cost less than (d8! 7y
Sarah83 Wow. 😉 And no you can't shop too many books. 😉 7y
ju.ca.no Awesome haul! No such thing as shopping too many books😁 7y

Sorry I didn't get a chance to say goodbye to everyone, realised I needed to rush off to make sure I got on a train. Chaos at Euston, looked like nothing going for a while, but managed to get on one now. It was so lovely to meet you all! Looking forward to next one! @jhod @TrishB @daydreamin_star @RachelO @eraderneely @Magslhalliday
