Guildhall Library Shop

Interesting little shop… There’s not much to buy. However they do have a limited bargain section where you can pick-​up books for £1. If you are looking for something that relates to London and is academic in nature this is the place for you. I will probably wonder through the shop again when I have some time during lunch, however I would not make an effort to get to this shop.

I went to Guildhall Library shop on a Saturday as i can not get here in the week and the library shop is shut on Sundays. The bookshop is excellent, they sell hundreds of books on London and of the city of London. They also sell large maps of london and the old city boundaries. Even though the shop is not huge i spent at least an hour looking at all the amazing books they have. When i went a few of the books were on sale which was an added bonus. They sell a lot of rare books that i have not seen for sale elsewhere, they also sell old ordinance survey maps by Alan Godfrey. This is a hidden gem and if you love London you need to come here.

This is a small, but fantastic, bookshop. They have an extensive collection of books on London: history, travel, stories, maps, etc. Being somewhat obsessed with London history, I thought I had a good idea of the available booksbut I found lots of unique titles here. Well worth a stop.
