Okay, Cecil Court is absolutely one of the best streets in London for bookshops. There are at least ten on this stretch of back alley road. It's fabulous! Some of them are a bit fancier, as their business is buying and selling more expensive first editions and rare collectors' books. But, though the proprietor will eye you beadily while you're browsing around (okay, so there was just one owner who did that to me... maybe because I had my backpack on...), these shops are still really fun to browse around in, if only to look at the older books. Some of them are absolutely gorgeous!
