Very chic bookstore. I feel like I’m in a movie when I go into this store. Traditional with style. If you get the chance to see someone come from the back room, you’re gonna think you were just in a Bond movie and the villain came from his lair to hunt you down. Lots of great employees to help you out. If there were bookstores like this in the SF Bay Area, we wouldn’t even think of Amazon
Daunt Books is hands down one of the most beautiful and inspiring bookshops in London. The moment you step inside, you’re transported into another world — the oak galleries, stained-glass windows, and old-world charm make it feel like a literary sanctuary.nnWhat really sets Daunt apart is its incredible travel section, organized by country. You don’t just find guidebooks here — you’ll discover novels, histories, and essays from each region, curated with such care that you can lose hours exploring. The staff are knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about books; they’re always happy to recommend something off the beaten path.nnEven if you’re not a huge reader, Daunt is worth visiting just for the atmosphere. It’s quiet, elegant, and somehow still feels alive with stories waiting to be found. I left with a stack of books I didn’t plan to buy — and no regrets whatsoever.
Daunt Books was my version of heaven on earth. It is a beautiful shop with and amazing collection of books, that have been organized in a really unique way. As someone who always wants to expand what and how I read, wing able to search by books geographically is something I haven’t seen before and I wish that during my visit there was more time available for my to explore the shelves more thoroughly. If not for the store closing and the fact that my suitcase can only take so many books back home with me, I would have left with my arms full of books. When I return to London I can guarantee this will be one of my first stops. Highly recommend!
Daunt Books London feels like stepping into a peaceful wooden world filled with stories from every corner of the globe. The shelves are lined with travel books, classic novels, art, history, and biographies — all arranged by country, inviting you to wander through words before real journeys. The scent of old paper and warm wood gives the place a timeless charm. It’s quite accessible for wheelchair users, with wide doors, flat paths, and helpful staff who make you feel welcome. More than just a bookshop, it’s a gentle escape in the middle of busy London.nn Accessibility Checklist – Daunt Books London:nn No ramp at the entrance, but the step is low around 5 cmn Wide doorway suitable for wheelchair accessn Narrow aisles between bookshelvesn No accessible toilet availablen Helpful and friendly staffn Calm and quiet atmosphere for readingn Basement area only accessible by stairs no liftnn Note:nDaunt Books London is a lovely, historic bookstore with a warm and peaceful atmosphere.

A breathtaking place where you can lose yourself among endless bookshelves. It feels like stepping into another world, one made of silence, warmth, and the mysteries of knowledge. I pre-ordered a book for my father, a book I couldn’t find anywhere else. The staff helped me with such care, kept me updated, and within just a few days I was able to pick it up and send it to him in Russia. He was overjoyed. My heartfelt thanks to the team for turning this little story into something so special.
