Housed in an Edwardian building, this original outpost of the independent Daunt Books chain features pretty oak balconies and ornate windows, creating a classic, old-world atmosphere that feels like the ultimate bookish escape. Open since 1990, it has become so beloved that it topped a global ranking of bookshops and libraries with an overall rating of 96.58, standing out even among the chain’s ten London locations. - Liv Kelly
