Costa Waterstones

I don’t think there is a book you can’t find there :) very helpful staff with huge knowledge about literature and willing to help with anything. We visited cafe also and the only thing that bothered me was the fact that tables were not cleaned after previous customers. Nevertheless- very good coffee. We’re coming back to that place every time we are in London.

Amazing bookstore with a huge selection. Staff member was so friendly and helpful to the person in front of me I was expecting the same but she barely spoke a word to me and was quite dismissive. When I produced my Waterstones card she looked annoyed and mumbled, 'Oh you've got one of those'. Spoiled the shopping experience somewhat. My local Waterstones are much friendlier.

The location is brilliant because you can escape the madness of trafalgar square. the cafe upstairs can be a little busy but they have a toilet up there (closes early some days so be aware) also it's not the nicest or cleanest toilet in the world... i really like this branch though, it's better than the strand for sure.

This was great. I brought my 16 year old daughter here to buy some books. There's just something about being surrounded by loads of books. My daughter loved it and she can't wait to go back. We also met someone who who was also book shopping. They were able to give us feedback on a book we were interested in and also made some recommendations to us.
