This is the best bookshop I have come across. I can spend hours here just browsing, and I like the way books are organised by geography in the basement, so you can find not just travel books but novels and other non-fiction about the region you are interested in. Daunt also have talks by writers once a month in the evenings, which costs £5 (including a glass of wine). Highly recommended for those looking for a fantastic independent bookshop in central London.

Whenever I travel to London I stop by this bookshop - I could buy almost any book off of their shelves and love it. The display just my kind of books.

Marylebone High Street shop is great - especially with any books to do with travel. The staff are very knowledgeable, and deal with one's query personally, professionally and efficiently!

Before a honeymoon safari this was the perfect place to find background reading. Tom was very helpful.

Could spend hours here. Always such a good choice and I always get what I want. Polite charming service... a real old fashioned place - long may it continue

Great selection. Organised very well so that you may easily find authors, subjects by country. If you have a chance attend one of their guest lectures!
