Just spent a heavenly hour browsing in the London Review Bookshop in 14 Bury Place, London WC1, a stone’s throw away from the British Museum.

Intelligently curated selections of eclectic and mainstream books fill the tables in this charming old store. Part of the space is a cafe filled with delicious baking goods. I left with a bag full of books, many of which I would never have come across in one of the chain bookstores, not to mention an internet bookseller.
