Continuing tradition…and keeping London in books
There has been a book shop at 56 Charing Cross since the 1920s, if not earlier.
56 Charing Cross Road in the 1920s, when the shop was owned by the folklorist AH Mayhew. The entrance, lighting, signs and staff attire have changed a bit since since then, but like Mr Mayhew, we still put some of our books outside the shop each morning.

A note for agents, publishers and authors :
We are a secondhand bookshop, we don't sell any new publications and can't stock your newly published book, sorry.
We also don't host book launches, signings, readings, or other similar events. We have quite small spaces and its not really the venue for this.
