Map

This is the place to see which bookshops I’ve visited and where I’ll be heading in the future. London is a big city with hundreds of different bookshops ranging from the largest in Europe to the market stalls under Waterloo Bridge and everything in between. I’m going visit as many as I can but it’s a process that will take a huge amount of time to complete.

Rather than restrict this map to the bookshops I have already visited, I will mark the locations of each bookshop as I learn its location and then use colour coding to indicate those I have visited, or will be visiting soon.

Please comment below if you know of a bookshop that is not on the map and I will add it. If you own or work at a bookshop and would like me to come visit you, please email me at onebookontheshelf (at) gmail.com or get in touch on twitter @1bookontheshelf.

Bookshop I have visited: Click on the marker for a quick summary and a link to the blog post.

Bookshop I will be visiting soon: I’ve been in contact with the shop and be visiting soon, so keep an eye out for it’s blog post!

Independent bookshop: I haven’t had a chance to visit here yet, but it’s on my ‘to-visit’ list!

Chain, charity shop or other: I will visit some of these shops but not all of them. Decisions will be made on a case by case basis; branches of Waterstone’s, discount/remainder bookshops, specialist religious shops and charity bookshops (e.g. Oxfam) all come under this category, as do bookshops attached to museums and galleries. If you know somewhere that is included in this category but is unmissable then let me know.
