"Largest Book Shop in Europe, plus bar" Books Tip by londonbabe

A few minute's walk from Piccadilly Circus, this huge bookshop is housed in what used to be Simpson's department store.
It has seven enormous floors of books, a coffee shop, a juice bar, and a restaurant. Last bit not least, on the top floor is a small-ish bar with a great range of cocktails and a view out over the London sky-line, towards Parliament.
Comfy seats can be found throughout the book sections, and you are never made to feel rushed to buy a book. But, somehow, you always do!

What to buy: The magazine section has an excellent selection of foreign titles but .. NOT cheap!

What to pay: They often have good special offers on paperback, so if you want to stock up on reading for the plane back, check the '3 for 2' offers as you go into the store.

Address: Piccadilly
Directions: 2 minutes walk from Piccadilly Circus, left hand side.
