Edwardian bookshop with extensive travel books organized by country
"Daunt Books, London Daunt Books really is special. Even if you are not a big reader, it is well worth a visit because the space is so beautiful and filled with exceptionally well-chosen books. Daunt is the ultimate antidote to the Amazon generation and connects you to the books and their authors in a very traditional way. Although Daunt is only 20 years old, it is located in an original Edwardian bookshop, with long oak galleries, graceful skylights, and William Morris prints. Try to persuade the staff to let you into the walk-in safe, where the expensive volumes were once stored. —Jasper Conran By Afar Magazine"
"While there are outposts all over the city, the flagship Marylebone location is an original Edwardian bookshop, with an emphasis on incredible travel titles. All locations also offer a great selection of poetry to fiction, biography and more, all organized by relevant country. Fun."

Housed in an Edwardian building, this original outpost of the independent Daunt Books chain features pretty oak balconies and ornate windows, creating a classic, old-world atmosphere that feels like the ultimate bookish escape. Open since 1990, it has become so beloved that it topped a global ranking of bookshops and libraries with an overall rating of 96.58, standing out even among the chain’s ten London locations. - Liv Kelly
