"Established in 1797 in the heart of Piccadilly, this venerable five‑storey shop is London’s oldest bookshop and exudes a sense of history and prestige, with a long record of royal patronage and Royal Warrants; shoppers can browse children’s titles, limited‑edition art books and signed copies of new releases, and seasonal displays include an eye‑catching 12‑metre ‘Christmas tree’ made from 270 hand‑painted books with cosy audiobook nooks." - Olivia Ho
