I’m a big fan of second hand bookshops, nothing better than a nice quiet second hand book shop and discovering a gem:
You could spend a day around Kings Cross, Camden and Kentish Town visiting:
As mentioned earlier: Skoob (King’s Cross)
Oxfam books and Amnesty books - these aren’t ‘political’ bookshops (although they do have political non-fiction and have books of every genre), but just second hand book shops where the money goes to charity (Both Oxfam an Amnesty in Kentish Town - the walk between the two has many charity shops that also have books).
Judd Books (King’s Cross)
Walden Books (Camden)
Then another day head to Waterloo and go under the bridge to find the Southbank Book Market. Stalls and stalls of second hand books - I’ve found some decent vintage books here and there’s a stalls that specialise in old-skool sci-fi, westerns and vintage Stephen King editions.
