The Imperial War Museum is housed in an impressive building that is located close to Lambeth North underground station. A day can easily be spent at this museum but I'd suggest, as entry is free, to spend a half-day here and come back to see the rest another time. The display of tanks and aircraft is impressive and the holocaust exhibition is particularly interesting but you will need to put aside maybe a couple of hours if you want to go through the exhibition thoroughly. The Imperial War Museum does have a cafe if you need a break!
Overall I'd highly recommend this museum.The Imperial War Museum is housed in an impressive building that is located close to Lambeth North underground station.

Tucked away behind Waterloo Station this independent bookshop is a book shop for book lovers to fall in love with.

You won't find piles of 2 for 1 offers here, (though you will find a generous discount scheme for regulars), nor displays of books whose prominence is determined by the amount the publisher is prepared to cough up (instead books chosen on merit whether they were published 50 yers ago or yesterday). You will find lovely staff fanatical about books and a great selection of books.

This is a bookshop based on the premise of catering for people who love books, and its selection reflects this. It is particularly strong on literary fiction and independent press titles. A place to lose yourself for an hour or three digging out newly discovered gems.

Has a good ordering service, 24 hours for most books, as well as an account with American wholesalers for Us titles. They also host regular events such as book launches and readings, as well as a book group.
