Daunt Books is in a beautiful building. Tbh though it's not IME the best stocked secondhand bookshop about: Skoob, just off Russell Square, is a lot better.

But not safe to visit if you're a bit skint, or have difficulty transporting lots of books on public transport.

This is very true ... says the man who walked out £50 poorer and with more books than he could comfortably carry the last time he went in there.

Another one is the Book and Comic Exchange (14 Pembridge Road in Notting Hill).

Ground floor is good but the trouble starts when you venture into the basement - everything is 50p and there are thousands upon thousands of books down there. I usually come out with a minimum of 20 - at least they're cheap enough to pass onto the charity shop without too much consideration though.

I like Barter Books in Northumberland. converted train station Google image results for barter books is better than their website.
