Klara: We’ve used this bookstore for a few years now. Their non-fiction section is great. And they have a lovely selection of Children’s books as well. I haven’t checked out their fiction section yet, but based on the other two, it’s probably good as well. They will also order anything you need and have it ready for collection within a day or two. Staff have been consistently friendly, and respond promptly to emails. I can highly recommend this shop.

Mark Kelly: Lush bookshop in London. Nice cafe at the top, staff are welcoming and helpful.

Terry Dunn: Excellent bookshop. Really good choice of books. In fact, they have categories I've not seen elsewhere. Nice store to browse in, and a good coffee shop too.

Bader Aujan: place to “invest” your time! Hours goby not noticed.

Sylvia Kersusan: Just wonderful ... just wonderful... Café included

Simon Cooney: location. Stocking most books in all genre's you are likely to find whatever you are looking for. As a space it is easy to get around and is well lit. My only quibble is that the stationary dept and Rays Jazz outlet seem to have got smaller and feel like they are on borrowed time. Hence 4 stars not 5.

Costa: A beautiful store which was an absolute delight to visit. Lutyens & Rubinstein is an excellent example of why it's so important to champion and support independent business, particularly booksellers.

ANIBAL De Almeida: GOOD fashion and Photography BOOKS

Jorinde Croese: Hands down the best bookshop in Notting Hill, with the Oxfam as a runner-up, followed by Books for Cooks for bronze. I buy all my gift cards here, my wrapping paper, and all those books that are too good to resist even though you’re literally 37 pages into about 6 other books and you know you shouldn’t buy more. But in this place, you do, anyway. So spend money on these lovely people, rather than Mr Amazon.

Paul Taylor: Proper bookshop, knowledgeable and well read staff.

J Sk: Very nice private bookshop, very cozy as well as very helpful staff that have knowledge on all the books. But sadly not a lot of variety, doesn’t have the new books

The real highlight is the children's section which is beautifully curated and laid out. Perfect for last minute Christmas gifts!

Matthew Humphreys: Charming bookstore with really helpful/super nice staff that ordered a book for me that came the very next day. Upon getting delayed to pick the book up, I called to ask about their closing time and briefly mentioned I was taking the book to a friend who is currently in hospital, to which they said they would stay open until I got there. An extra 10 minutes really meant a lot. Having recently moved to the area, this shop is a gem - thank you so much! Looking forward to returning.

Valya Alexander: I've been using this shop for more than 20 years, even though I now have a moratorium on my book buying as I have two shelves of unread books. They also have a delightful range of greeting cards, stationery and gifts and a huge second hand stock in the back and downstairs. The staff have been there for ever, a very good sign in the shifting population of booksellers elsewhere, and are always friendly and helpful.

A pocket of Paradise.

Kerry Rochford: What a wonderful second hand book shop! If you love quirky and old, this is the place to go. I could have spent a whole day exploring the two rooms.

Hadi Mirzaei: Piece of jewel

sandhya anand: Super helpful lady manning the front desk. She checked for affordable copies of a book I was looking for and did so even when I didn't buy anything.I will definitely be back to spend more time here as most of the books seem wonderful❤️

Jessica Sinclair: Tucked into the main thoroughfare of Chiswick, stands this beautiful 18th century bow-fronted windowed shop and possibly listed building. Current owner 2nd generation and been there forever.Dripping with old books. With that wonderful time honoured earthy, musty aroma of historic book extract. A sheer antiquarian delight with it's 1st editions, limited editions and vast variety of genres.A must visit if you are in the area. But for those too far away, fear not, he also has a website with book delivery.If you're like me, and prefer an old fragrant worn book any day, over a soulless odourless ebook. Then this wee emporium is the bee's-knees.

jeff benjamin: Trading from an appropriate 18th.Century building that adds gravitas, a veneer of authenticity and authority.A quirky survivor of an almost extinct species; the suburban antiquarian book shop.Seemingly touching base with most genres with variety and scope seemingly only limited by space constraints.The emphasis expectedly on first editions, the recherché, obscure, limited editions and collectibles.Both committed Bibliophiles and the general reading public more than likely to ferret out something of interest here.Staff unobtrusive - knowledgeable, helpful and engaging when approached.Expertise, experience and enthusiasm the ethos here, in abundance.

EJ F: Good for finding last minute birthday presents!

Maria P.: Beautiful antique books here, tucked away in the heart of busy Chiswick. As if from another era. There are many treasures to be found here

Seb London: Polite service.

Mark White: Ordered a book from here, by a third party, great packaging and quite speedy delivery. Next time I'm down in London, will pop in. I bought a book that was gifted to someone in 1910!

lucienation: A 'must visit' for anyone who can read - or for anyone wishing to learn. A place filled with treasures of the written word!

katie hyatt: This book shop is truly a wonder to lose time in. Although it isn’t large it contains an incredible amount of material. I even found a book specific to my interests. The prices are very reasonable and the owner is very kind. I always look forward to the opportunity to return.

Christine Andaya-Wallace: Took our granddaughter for a book reading. My daughter has taken her to a few of them. The back room is dedicated to children's books and activities and is quite large. There is a very small selection of French books, mostly aimed for older children. I didn't notice any other languages, although I heard a spoken

Carrera-Leigh Dix: Can't resist popping in whenever I pass this place - it's just too cute. I usually find a good selection of books and I love that it's dog friendly.

Robert fiftysix: Quirky book shop with lots of interesting titles.

Florence LECLERC: A poetic experience during a stroll along the Regent's Canal: a pretty barge, music, and a wide choice of new and second-hand, rather recent, books.

SHERRY CHIU: A cute and special book store on the boat 💝

Mike Bishop: What an absolutely wonderful place. Well worth a trip if you're in North London anywhere near Kings Cross or Camden.There is a very cute cat that lives on the next barge along too.

Adriana Ionescu: Check the schedule. We found closed.

Minchan Kim: This is a unique bookstore.It seems like the owner has two dogs.The books seem to be mainly of light reading types.

Navbahor Burhonova: Sss

Regan: Such a niche and unique experience to peruse a wide array of books whilst on a canal boat, bobbing about a little with the tide.

Carrie Giordano: Moved nearly to tears at the simplicity and elegance of this hidden gem. The owners are quirky and kind. The boat rocks as you'd expect with fabulous nooks to explore the many titles they carry from classics to independents. A small children's section is tucked at the end of the vessel complete with reading chair and wood burning stove. A short hike away from the main tourist areas but close to King's Cross.
