Book Stores in Barnsbury, Canonbury and Islington, Greater London

“the most beautiful waterstones i have ever seen in the coziest part of london! it has two floors, a big kids selection and AN AQUARIUM! I ordered there via click and collect and the book was ready for pickup before i knew it. i spent way too much money there, telling myself i need souvenirs from there. (they even have a postcard of their store?) the cashiers were incredibly friendly- i didn’t want to stop talking to them when i finished paying.”

“Brilliant book store. Quite unpleasant experience with a rather domineering male staff member who assumed I was dating my male friend. Ironically, to my face he told me a 5.50 pound book (which was not labelled) was "cheap" in a charity shop when I couldn't afford it.An update a year later: considering inflation is at 13% the fact books here are more expensive than ever is ridiculous. Often cheaper to buy used online with shipping. As a student I can't afford anything here. Great book range though.”
