"With an incredible range of maps, atlases, travel guides, accessories, globes and more, this long-standing classic is one of the biggest travel bookshops in the world. The store is old, but the philosophy is contemporary, as the guides and focus shift with the trends. Don't miss the map of the solar system above as you're walking up the stairs."

My love for all things maps is reignited anytime I visit Stanfords. There's a duo downstairs who are patient and super helpful. I had an idea for new UK and world maps for my walls and got exactly what I needed 🗺 While browsing, overheard a lady briefing one of the duo about her wedding plans, and he seemed excited to help. Stanfords have rolls and drawers full of small, medium, and large wall maps to choose from - contemporary and traditional styles. I took these photos to help you check out a few different globe options and books of stories about our world. All connected by... maps! 🌎🌍🌏 Hope you're pleasantly surprised to discover more on offer ✨️!

I asked for recommendations for a relative interested in walking in the mountains. The member of staff then took me to the right section and went through some possible titles. Couldn't have been more helpful, genuinely wanted me to make a good choice. Best shop if you like books and travel !!!

For maps and travel books this is a great little shop and it also has a café. More than just travel books it also sells games and childrens books, ideal for keeping kids and adults occupied while travelling. Knowledgeable staff are on hand to help you find what you're looking for.
