They keep the rare books near the checkout and other second hand books in the first space as you walk into the shop. Of more interest is the room next door with an amazingly good selection of new coffee table and reference books. Theres always some fabulous stuff here, mouthwatering books at incredible prices. The manager/owner has a good eye for whats cool and interesting. Kind of what separates a good bookshop from a run-of-the-mill books for cash place.They keep the rare books near the checkout and other second hand books in the first space as you walk into the shop.

During the Golden age of Charing Cross Road this was a two shop franchise that sucked in torrents of great books. Filling its shelves with prime book meat. Now its a one shop store and its still pretty good, depending on whats arrived that week - bargains in the basement - and assorted others upstairs - and fun things in the window. Great old style secondhand bookshop that can be a musty treasure trove.During the Golden age of Charing Cross Road this was a two shop franchise that sucked in torrents of great books.

Every summer the National Theatre holds this free festival - a chance to forget about the grey, dreary working day and enjoy the thrills of the circus, a dash of music and a firework or three. Already this year we've seen a bicycle ballet, puppet escapology and an explosive storm - tea dances, promenade performances and miniature circuses are still to come. Shows take place Wed-Sat throughout the summer - and its all free!Every summer the National Theatre holds this free festival - a chance to forget about the grey, dreary working day and enjoy the thrills of the circus, a dash of music and a firework or three.
