The best bookshop in London and probably the UK. Fantastic displays and choices of all kinds of subjects. Helpful staff, nice cafe, and always willing to find that unusual book (they will find another bookstore where it is available). Could spend hours in here. Must visit.

This is such a wonderful place for bookies. I love to be greeted by „Welcome book lover, you are among friends“. Immediately feeling at home. Every area is extensive, including the comics & manga space: a favorite of mine 🤗. Had to ask for help and the book I was looking for wasn’t in stock. What was not really a problem for me, but for Foyles employee… he was so sorry! Great customer focus and centricity! I haven’t tried the cozy cafe but it looked amazing. And it is fully integrated into the shop, surrounded by books!

(W & G Foyle ltd,)Foyles is a bookseller with a chain of seven stores in England. It's best known for its flagship store in Charing Cross Road, London. Foyles was once listed in the Guinness book of records as the worlds largest bookshop in terms of shelf length at 30 miles (48km) and number of titles on display. It was bought by Waterstones in 2018 On the top floor (5th) is a splendid café with a nice range of snack food and beverages. The café tables were quite busy and I felt that although the café is quite spacious. It was very much in need of some more tables and floor space to help accommodate the hungry aficionados .

Huge bookstore. Like a department store for literature. They highlight recent novels and trending books right by the bottom of the staircase which i think is pretty cool. Also pretty sure there's a cafe upstairs. You can find anything in here and i think it is laid out pretty easily but its not difficult to get lost!

Recently took a trip to London and I just had to have a visit. Wasn’t too crowded and had a very vast selection of books. I was also very impressed with the amount of Korean books available. The cafe was also a cute place to hang out for a bit. Wish we had a Foyles in the North :)

I love this place. Every time I go, I find more than I was looking for. It's crowded and quiet. I went to look for books that I was curious about cooking on the boat, and I found amazing books. Moreover, it made me feel lucky to be able to read the story of the first person to climb Everest from his son.

What a gorgeous bookshop! Full to the brim with books of all types across 6 floors - including a whole area dedicated to kids on the lower mezzanine level. We spent 2 hours in here after spending a small fotune going to the London Aquarium - and yet this was so much more fun for my 8 year old girl! Would recommend to all parents, teens and adults alike - they even have a cafe on the 5th floor...

Love this library a lot. So far my favorite in London. Their manga section is beautiful. Also spent some time in their cafeteria and tried their hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows and the scons with jam and it was all delicious. I will definitely go back to try other things as well 🤤.

I have never been to such a big bookshop like this, with every book I could think of, available for me. I stayed here for hours, discovering more and more books that I would love to buy. The best part is they even have a foreign language section on the top floor, with books in their original languages. The staff are also so friendly, super helpful and efficient. If you are short of time and want to grab a book without having to worry if you’d find it; look no further. Just make a stop at Foyles and you won’t be disappointed.

The shop is very neat and clean. It's well stocked, it has many options and subjects to choose from. Prices vary depending on the subject and category, but they are fair. Staff is very attentive and friendly, but sometimes there is no one at the till to serve customers on the languages books section. Maybe it is not as popular as the music section where there are always staff serving. There is a cafe, some seats in some sections of the book shop and a super beautiful space dedicated to children. Very near to Tottenham Court Road station and Oxford Street. It's a fairly big shop and I'm sure if you go, you will be spending some nice time.
