Great comic shop that stocks small press, and everything else you'd expect to find. The kids section starts at early ages and has something all the way up.

A station, a stop or two away from London sits a shop that is only open once or twice a year – its specialty are books but it also sells things.

A beautiful old school bookshop, floor to ceiling photo books. Heaven.

Everyone should visit this absurd restaurant once in their lifetime. Its over-priced, mediocre food but the decor and ambiance is like nothing else in theatrics and campery. You are met on arrival by a white velour 'napkin' artfully screwed up on your diner plate. Absorbent, not? Fabulously awful, yes.
