Also in Beautiful Streets and Classic British Shops and Literary London.

Twenty or so shops in a Victorian terrace sell first editions, children's books, maps, theatre ephemera and coins, under gas-style lamps and the original shopfronts. Watkins, the esoteric bookshop, has been here since 1901, and Marchpane sells nothing but children's books.
