Visit Foyles bookshop on the Charing Cross Road and get a free copy of ‘Walking Dickensian London’ when you spend £25 or more. London Pass holders can also get a free pastry when purchasing any drink in the Jazz café.

Foyles London bookshop is a retail institution known throughout the world. There are 7 miles worth of books inside, mostly centred on the 56 specialist subjects which have grown with the shop since it began in 1903, including art and textbooks.

A new addition to these core sections is the range of second hand books introduced recently by this family-run London bookshop. This celebrated bookshop is within walking distance of many of London’s most famous art institutions and its art department is, as a result, unrivalled for sheer size and extensive scope.

Other features include an art gallery on the 5th floor, and Ray’s Jazz Café, which creates the ideal atmosphere for perusing your new purchase in – there’s even a piranha tank in the children’s department which will keep kids of any age entertained allowing you to browse at your leisure (provided they don’t put their fingers in!)

Of all the London bookshops, Foyles is unique for being privately run and still existing in its original site. Visit today and see how the building has been recently updated to house modern tastes and needs. If you enjoy reading then Foyles is a must-see London attraction.
