Cute bookstore with a quiet cafe and terrace. Come here if you want to get a break from that hustle and bustle in Soho

Like the best museum gift shop you have ever been to. Upstairs is a stationary style shop with books, journals, toys, postcards, tote bags, sporks, calendars etc. Downstairs is any map or travel guide you could possibly need. I could spend hours here and it’s definitely a must if you’re looking for a London keepsake. I want to fill my house with things from Stanfords. Lots of products you would find on study inspiration instagram pages.

Great independent book shop just off seven dials. Specialises in maps, travel, and geography related books. If you're looking for travel books, you will definitely find it here. Nearly the whole bottom floor is dedicated to them, along with maps. Picked up two great political geography books and a couple of potential next holiday spots. There is a lovely little cafe on site, too.

One of my favourite bookshops in London. It has a solid selection of popular fiction and non-fiction releases, but it really shines as a travel book shop. Their map selection is also very impressive. I couldn’t help but stock up on flags ahead of Eurovision…

I used to love the old Stanford's, but the new smaller version is good too. Great for the regular travel guides, but perfect for that something a bit different and a map, if you're still partial to a bit of paper.

Wonderful book store specialises in maps and globes, and books about discovery and journeys. There is kid’s section and plenty of interesting little gifts to be found.A café with seating inside and out. Quite and off the beaten path.

Treasure trove of travel related books,maps,globes,gifts and inspiration. You can lose yourself for hours browsing or run in for that hard to find esoteric detailed map. Nothing is too much trouble for the very knowledgeable staff. Wonderful shop even in its new location.

Quirky travel focused bookshop with a pleasant cafe. Like other bookshops of this size, it doesn't always have what you want in stock.

Still London's best travel bookshop. Everything you need and so much you never knew you wanted.
