Rob ParryAugust 2, 2014Probably (one of) the best Waterstones around - much nicer than the more popular ones around central London. The selection of foreign literature books is second to none for a commercial chain!Upvoted Feb 1
Eman AbdulazizAugust 31, 2017My favorite bookstore so far in London. They have large variety of books, great display and few second hand books for collectors.- Kate KlinkAugust 3, 2018Nice coffee shop downstairs with free WiFi. A perfect spot to get an inspiration for your future book and stumble upon a famous writer :)
Eddie CDecember 22, 2015Full of wonderful novelty items. Great books. Beautiful and cheap coffee. Love this place!- Aen SirinelSeptember 10, 2018This is a huge bookstore with multiple floors and old-school creaky wooden stairs between them. There's also a little café on the ground floor.
M WSeptember 21, 2014Very comfortable bookshop with lots of areas tucked away to read the wide variety of interesting items from their shelves.
AnnaJanuary 5, 2011It's like regular Waterstones, plus! Huge, universityish and crammed with new books on every conceivable subject, with the added bonus of an exciting remainders/2nd-hand section. Has a Fopp and Costa.
Taymaz AzimiJanuary 24, 2014Although it is near Birkbick, SOAS and UCL, the academic sections are not satisfactory. There is always at least one book on my reading lists that I cannot find here. Generally it's fine though!
Jack DavisFebruary 9, 2015One of the best academic bookstores in London. Has a cosy downstairs cafe!
KostasJanuary 26, 2016It really wakes up your interest in reading but it's also enhanced by the presence of the universities near by.
Michael StewartDecember 1, 2014It is now an omnishables of a store.... Great if you've hours to trawl through books dumped on shelves or hope for the occasional sighting of a store assistant, otherwise the best Amazon Ad in town.
George MillsJanuary 22, 2015Amazing remaindered book section - you can find some gems here for very little.
Jonny ManfNovember 10, 2014Massive bookstore with an enjoyable place to read in Costa Coffee in the basement.
HUGE selection of books on several floors. Friendly, helpful staff
Amber Books LtdAugust 23, 2011The second hand section is worth finding - lots of unusual and rare books, a great place for serendipitous discoveries
Samuel HextallFebruary 25, 2012They have a second hand and remainders section here! Also have reading corners in the turrets!- Esra K.December 17, 2011pick up your wish list book and sit costa which is usually located at downstairs in Waterstone.. luv it..
LondonistMarch 10, 2011This place rewards exploration. There's an unexpected Costa down in the basement, and stair cases going off in random directions. Like a fun-sized Foyles.
Giuseppe DesarioAugust 30, 2012This is the biggest book shop of London in which you can find everything!! The world of the books!!
Good psychoanlysis section, it's not Karnac but still they have the main ones
Aman AnandMay 31, 2010This store has an impressive selection of second hand books on the first floor
Kirill GurbanovSeptember 13, 2017Прекрасный книжный магазин. Всегда ухожу отсюда с уловом (и без денег 😂)
??? ??????????September 20, 2014Самый классный из всех вотерстоунов в Лондоне. Много академической литературы, в том числе распродажные и букинистические. Это замок книг.
