Ystavallisin terveisin,

I was there just a couple of weeks ago scouting around for bookshops.
There's a concentration of bookshops around Leicester square tube station.
A lot are second hand shops, which are pretty much useless. There are also
a few good shops on Charing Cross Road, literally one minute's walk north
of Leicester Sq tube. There was one ... I can't remember its name ... but it had
a lot of stuff you can't usually find elsewhere, a lot of Hyphen Press stuff. It's
a good job I was short of cash, or I would have emptied my wallet.

Zwemmer's, two branches on Charing Cross Road

'MAGMA', maybe.?

Magma

David was faster than me

As Alex said the walk along Charing Cross Road, and from there to Covent Garden, has more art/photography bookstores than what a designer's salary can withstand. Enjoy!

ps. also check out the Design Museum and Tate bookstores.

Also in Covent Garden, there is a Dillions art bookstore, which has a decent selection of design books most of the time.

Thank you everybody! This was most helpful. Though now I'm going to need so much money (and luggage space)... :p

The best second hand and antiquarian typography bookshop in London is Collinge & Clarke on Leigh Street, north east of the British Museum and Russell Square. Definitely worth a visit. Just around the corner from them is Judd Books, which is a remainder shop that usually has some good stuff in their books-on-books section.

Nothing comes close to the bookstore at the Tate Modern.

Also, the bookshop at the British Library is excellent. It focuses on book typography rather than graphic design, but it has an excellent selection of scholarly books on type and printing history, many published by the BL. It is only a short walk north from Collinge & Clarke.

For typography, the best shop is probably Shipley Design in the Charing Cross Road (this used to be called Zwemmers, but is now called Shipley).
