Riverside Reading

March 30, 2008

This is a nice little bookshop tucked away in riverside Hays Galleria near London Bridge. It would be easy to walk right by the store and not notice it amongst the ugly statuary, chain restaurants, and out of place petanque playing, but it is worth seeking out. Despite the small size, they have a great variety of well selected books and nice cards. This is also one of those stores that puts up the useful little staff recommendation notes next to books of interest - I love these things and they always make me buy things that I previously had no idea existed. On nice warm days, reading on one of the benches by the river is a very nice thing to do, unless a small child decides to stand right in front of you and tunelessly sing 'Danny Boy' repeatedly to no one in particular, but otherwise it is very pleasant.
