"With an incredible range of maps, atlases, travel guides, accessories, globes and more, this long-standing classic is one of the biggest travel bookshops in the world. The store is old, but the philosophy is contemporary, as the guides and focus shift with the trends. Don't miss the map of the solar system above as you're walking up the stairs."

This is a cozy and quiet little place that does great soups with very wallet friendly prices. It's a little hidden gem inside Standfords. With seating and standing bar area, not a big space but it doesn't get that busy. I tried the green Thai soup of the day!

Such a carefully curated selecting of travel books, so many them! Downstairs is a dizzying array of guide books and maps to almost every corner of the world. Wonderful just to browse through them and dream of places to visit. Great little coffee shop upstairs too with outside seating.

Very relaxing atmosphere, I sat down by the window, which had a good view. I ordered flat white coffee, it was tasty, but I prefer it if it was hotter. If you’re a bookworm, visit there😊✨

My love for all things maps is reignited anytime I visit Stanfords. There's a duo downstairs who are patient and super helpful. I had an idea for new UK and world maps for my walls and got exactly what I needed 🗺 While browsing, overheard a lady briefing one of the duo about her wedding plans, and he seemed excited to help. Stanfords have rolls and drawers full of small, medium, and large wall maps to choose from - contemporary and traditional styles. I took these photos to help you check out a few different globe options and books of stories about our world. All connected by... maps! 🌎🌍🌏 Hope you're pleasantly surprised to discover more on offer ✨️!

A truly charming shop, beautiful balloons and globes we went to the basement and A map was being printed. The gentleman I think he’s Italian was absolutely charming and allowed us to watch and explained about the machine. Five stars quite rightly deserved.

Love this shop, a map geeks dream! Huge choice of maps and if they don’t have what you want they can order it in for you. Very helpful man in the map section got me the maps I needed for my upcoming Spanish walking holiday. Great selection of travel related gifts too!

Love this gem of a shop and cafe. Has every kind of map you need, a cafe and beautiful globes to buy. Great ambience and staff are really friendly. It has two floors.
