Best Waterstones in London. Way better than the Piccadily branch which is always recommended and known for being the biggest, but I would heavily lead everyone tourists and locals to this branch instead.
It's decently sized but the real catcher is the interior. Once you step in you're transported and I don't say this lightly. The atmosphere in this store is otherworldly and I'm not one to go to a bookstore purely for vibes but if I were this would be my poison. This is the only bookshop I have urges to gatekeep but I truly am too kind so I shall add to the reviews. I am HER so if you want to be HER go here fool or you shall regret it.

Always seek this Waterstones out when I go to London.

Gower Street Waterstones is famous for it's range of textbooks on various subjects. It's position close to the Bloomsbury universities I'm sure is not by chance. Since Foyles gave up it's mission of having about any book you can think of, this is maybe the only place you can find such a range of books on any topics without going online. The building is quite nice and being books has stationery, a cafe and other items

Excellent people manning the desks. The store is a wonderful literary wonderland with books on almost any conceivable topic. One of the top 3 bookstores I've visited in the world.
