South Kensington Books

Sat at the top of Exhibition Road, a stones throw away from London’s museum district, is a bookshop with so much character it seems to live and breath. South Kensington Books specialise in Visual Arts, Architecture, and Photography but also have a plethora of fiction, biographies, cookbooks, poetry, history books and much, much more. Managers Charlotte and Dave source a lot of their stock from remainder warehouses, so you can be sure to find a bargain that will leave you practically salivating. The staff are all cheery individuals who are more than happy to give your browsing some direction, with their worldly wisdom on everything books. It’s a shop you can easily find yourself entering in the middle of the afternoon, and not leaving until the sun is setting.
