Hey emma, may i know what cam u using?
Could you do a similar video but with Second Hand bookshops please, I think it will me amazing
Really loved watching the video and I love love love books can spend my whole day in those books store they look amazing i wish to visit London someday in the future hopefully thank you so much for sharing this video lots of love from India Mumbai 🥰😘❤️
I saw your film from Iran. You and your movie are very beautiful. I have a bookstore in Iran
When you're not from the UK & you're jealous. What a fantasy of bookshops...😅💕
Australia could never
@@angelinai7568 oz is a new world wasteland thats why ozzies come to uk
Spain neither
as someone that lives in london it's nice but some places are reaallly ugly and boring
Me too I’m literally the opposite, my place has the worst books store and library, i tremendously want to go there.😬😊😊
this literally makes me want to move to London NOW
Me too but I think it going to be very hard to move there.😬😬
me too, like ive just fallen in love with England
I live in london, it's- it's not that fabulous 😔
-Venuss - well i live in sweden and from here, London looks quite tempting 😮 or just England overall, the countryside is actually kinda more fitting 😗
Ida Olsson You're more than welcome to come, the tourist sights are beautiful, but don't expect too much from central london. She was in the west, unfortunately, it's not so grand in central.
I've been to London just once in my life but the amount of time i spent in bookstores was obscene...the friend that has travelled with me was definitely annoyed by me hah
That would have been me! My hubby is ever so patient with me when I step into a bookshop, but I know he must be crying inside!!
My God, I love the smell of books. Nice video, thanks for this.
Oh yeeeeesss me to😊
When I was a kid in London, I used to spend all my pocket money on fantasy horror books. Even the bookstore owner told me to stop spending all my pocket money on books.
😂😂😂 Hey, that bookstore owner was getting your money, so why did he complain?
@@Musicienne-DAB1995 Exactly 😂
omg so cute
@@Musicienne-DAB1995 Bookstore owners are so kind and just probably worried
@@RamRammyRam True 👍
One can not simply walk into a bookstore and not buy something! ❤❤❤
I’m gonna major in comp lit thanks to you introducing the major to me. I also figured out I was dyslexic through your videos. (You and I both ended a long term relationship around the same time.) You have no clue how much your channel means to me. It literally changed the entire course of my life
i never responded to this, im such a dick my bad, i read this at the time tho, it did and does mean a lot to me
Hello dear i am from india 💚🇮🇳💚 i loves books like .
This video is actually such an inspiration to read, I've got a small stack at home and now I just want to spend all Christmas reading. Love it 💙
Long time since I was last in London, but such a lovely video and merely the sight of all those books makes me happy. You should definitely do a companion piece featuring 2nd hand bookshops if you can - because I think there's something magical about a great 2nd hand bookshop too.
An endangered species unfortunately. Charing Cross Road ain't what it used to be.
where I live they only really have chain bookstores which always have the same variety of books. I've found a few more unique and specialised shops, but not nearly as many as I've encountered on my travels!!
My favourite bookshop: thrift shops !
I once got 20 books for the price of one new book
While browsing a thrift shop I once got a mint condition set of four William Faulkner novels for the price of one novel in the set.
At last! Someone sensible. If you get the library app you can scan any book in the shop and find that nine times out of ten they have it. You can reserve it to your local library then you get an email saying its waiting for collection. You can renew via the app if you haven't finished. Unless you keep every book keep your money.... When i go book shopping i rarely spend a penny. I book it on the spot and go home with loads of books. Way beyond my budget. And i dont have to carry them home....Too much info? Well thats being sensible for real. I have saved thousands and really bumped up my reading.....😊
This videos gives me the cosy vibes and feelings that my grandfathers old Super-8-Films give me. Thank you for that. I really missed that and especially him 💗
This is one of my favourite videos you've made! Such a great idea to show is the bookshops and the editing is amazing too. I would love to see more videos of your favourite places in London ❤️
Do we all agree that bookshops are paradise on earth ?
Perfect video in these terrible times, makes your realise what were missing right now and what we've got to look forward to again
This makes me want to visit London again. With one suitcase for my clothes etc and an empty one for the books I'll buy...
Do you also have recommendations for second hand bookshops in London?
Christophe S Tbh my fave second hand gems have been from charity shops! Oxfam Hampstead comes at the top as they always have such a great selection :)
@@Dessylyly Thanks for the tip!
‘Any amount of books’ in Charing Cross is the ultimate secondhand bargain bookshop ( also really charming and family run ). Also, Henry Pordes is great, and conveniently next door to the previous one !!
I dont even live in London but stil I'm watching this ❤️
I highly recommend Nobel prize winner, Kazuo Ishiguro. Daunts, Marylebone, is great for its talks too such as with Julian Barnes last month.
I absolutely adore books for cooks since my aunt worked there for 20 years and my mum worked there for a while and it has such a sweet nostalgia
i want to travel all over the world just so i can go to neat bookshops!!
no joke i think ur my new fave youtuber and i’ve never even watched any of ur vids before this ❤️❤️
Omg you give us the best possible content ever!!! Thank you so much! 😍 also, I've recently bought the Susan Sontag one, I hope I could read it soon.
My first video of yours and what a feast for someone like me who is always up for books related stuff (especially Book Stores) 📚
One of my favorite things I have done in London was to visit the fabulous bookstores you all have! Being from the states Amazon has taken away all of our bookstores. I can't wait to be there again this summer to check out some of your choices. Happy reading!
loved this video! youve been working on it for so long and i can deffs see the hard work youve put into it
Absolutely love how you've edited this video. Can't wait to visit some of these bookshops
I love this video so much! I have probably come back and watched it three times or more. All of your videos are great. Seeing your shining face is guaranteed to brighten my day.
not in west london but henry pordes books is my favourite one, it's a second hand bookstore but i love it. it's so small and it smells of dusty old books and everything is so pretty in there if you're into the messy bookshelf aesthetic
I didn’t even know I needed this video, but damn this is so helpful!
Superb. Bookstores and books are my faithful love.
Thanks for this video! I can now add some new bookshops to my 'to visit when in London'-list!
You did a really good job filming and editing this.
It was really a joy to watch. Thanks!
Keep at it
Thanks Emma, your lovely, breezy, personality, helped make the tour more enjoyable and interesting.
I’ m honestly just gonna keep rewatching this video until I’m finally able to go back to the UK and visit London.
Thank you for making such an awesome vid 🥰
Loved the video. I absolutely love book shops, all my friends and family think I’m weird because of it. I love the smell of books, especially the older secondhand ones. And because of your video I just bought the Susan Sontag book! Looks like perfect reference and learning material for my current essay X
Aw these places look lovely! Can't wait to go to London and check them out :)
01:52 I can most whole heartedly recommend Croatia as a Travel Destination. I lived in London for a long time but can honestly say I missed out by not exploring the more independent bookshops. When life returns to normal I think a few visits are to be placed in the diary. Oh and spending hours browsing in bookstores is not time wasted.
Daunt is literally my favorite book shop!!! I visited back last October and went to it at least 3 times while I was there! ✨
When I’m next in London I’m definitely visiting these! Thank you!
I love seeing individual happy that's make me happy I'm enjoying seeing you enjoying
Gna start my comp lit postgrad programme in London next September, thanks for being such an inspiration!
I have a plan of visiting Hay on Wye via London... Now, your video gave me another big reason to extend the stay in London! I loved the video and the shops are amazing!
I saw the Little Prince in there!! Ugh, my favorite.
I love browsing around book stores!
Yay you are back! Hope all is well X
Yes omg love Daunt Books went there when I visited my aunt in London
We were just in London last week and I wish I had seen your video before we left. I would have had been able to convince the people that I was with that these bookshops were a must see. I guess I have to visit again and soon. Thank you for the tour!!
London has so many cute little streets of terrace houses!It looks so perfect to and pretty!
I’m going to uni in Bloomsbury, London (a book lover’s dream!) so when I make my commute, I will definitely go and check out these bookstores! Thank you for growing my “bookstore” map!
Ah bookshops just make me so happy😍💕
the notting hill bookshop was a dream-like visit. Lovely, a little too tiny (lol) and a unique experience I would recommend everyone to have.
Holy crap, you know how perfect this is right now, I just got to London for a weekend and I’m only here for like 1more day and me and my sister really wanted to find a good book shop, and here you are, thank you sooo much ❤️
Hello helina have you read Helen keler.
GORGEOUS!!! ah it turned out so well!!!!!
I want to live inside of this video!💕
Putting these on my to visit list for next time I'm in London.
Awesome video
Wonderful bookshop tour. Merci!
This video deserves more likes!! Now I want to visit all those beautiful bookshops, last one was my favvvvv. Also, that intro??? A ma zing
Yesterday, I was frustrated at how little I have read this year. This morning, CZcams recommended me this video. Coincidence? When I am next in London, I will visit these shops, especially the last one. Also, I love the chill vibe here.
You definitely had a really beautiful day! I'm so jelly.. Not so many bookstores in my island Bali to explore.
Me too, so jelly.
Wow!!!! Graciasss hermosas librerías!!
Very interesting - I've been many times to London and have many Favorite bookshops there but I've never been to any of those so I have something fun to explore next time.
Love this video, I get to see a beautiful city!
Liberia in East London (Shoreditch) is the cutest book shop! I loved it, and the shop assistants helped me get a book ! X
going on holiday to london in march and planning to visit all of these! i live in tokyo, so it will be such a luxury to be surrounded by books i can read at a normal pace.
@ Simon Lake, I totally agree with you. In the 1970's & 80's there were some fantastic second hand bookshops, especially in & around the Charing Cross Road area, at least 6 or 7. But alas, they have almost all gone ! Such a shame, but it is just too expensive to run such a business in the London area in.
Stumbled upon this vlog. Really enjoyed it. Just subscribed off the back of it. Looking forward to future vlogs.
I love your energy and I will definitely be visiting London some day to go to all these places 😍
i would like to highly recommend visiting Nostalgia Bookshop in the very heart of Birmingham center, it's fantastic!
this video made me miss england and london so much...my favourite book store I HAVE to visit whenever I'm in london is "Any amount of books" (A second hand bookshop) in covent garden :D
im from canada and this is making me want to travel to the UK just to visit these bookstores! wonderful video 💕
Wow. love this video. Thank you. really want to visit there!
Oh my gGoddess, Do I love a good book store, so thanks for sharing some wonderful books store from London.
Another good bookstore, it’s located by “Frances Lundy school of dance’ in West London. It’s just called ‘Bookshop’. All the hooks there are cheap and it’s a really nice area as well!
Oh I'm jealous. I wish I can go there. Big hope ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Omg thank you soo much i was looking for a good bookstore and some of these are great, I will be visiting them very soon ( when lockdown's over)
Found your channel after this video was recommended to me. Absolutely love your other videos as well!
I recommend skoob in holborn, its a little hidden and it also has stacks on stacks of books (and a piano)!
Interesting! love bookshops!
I'm studying abroad in London, I can't wait to check some of these out!
Left London in 2013 and this brought some nostalgia of all the bookshops I went while I was there. Daunt Books in Maryleborne was always my favourite (particulalry since it was quite near where I lived!). Never went to the Serpentine Gallery (though all Muaeums in London have good bookshops, Tate Modern in particular) and the one in Chelsea is a hidden gem indeed.
Personal favourites I recommend are Hatchards in 187 Picadilly (big, central and well stocked with an old-school look) and London Review Bookshop (14-16 Bury Place). The latter is petite but well lit and with a coffeshop next too it. At that is right near the Bristish Museum and you're in intellectuial heaven....
Happy New Year from Costa Rica!!!
In the 80s I owned Blitzgeist Bookshop in Harborne B'Ham, primarily as a collector - hence, in my large Italian villa near Dolcedo, Liguria, I house 1000s of books, with weekly upgrades. I began my 2nd collection [maths, philosophy, logic etc] in 1961 as I worked in bookshops on Tottenham Court Road & Charing Cross Road & sold it off circa 1982. I also collect artworks & my gallery can be seen by tapping in Dolcedo Art of the Thunderbolt on CZcams + there's a BBC film The Lost Genius, both of which display a few of my precious volumes. I also create my own books & I've written the largest illustrated volume since Leonardo over 50 years in the making - it's vast & with my small handmade books, which are completely OTT & uncensored., I constantly add to. My volume The Autobiography of God Almighty was published in 2003 & my volume Cogitatio is published on Academia.edu along with various papers. Books are IT!
So woowww. OhmyGod!!! Really wow. I love to see books too.
i am in london today and i dug up this video (already watched) so hopefully i'll get to visit a few
LOVE THIS SO MUCH 😍
Todo se ve tan hermoso. Espero algún día tener la oportunidad de hacer este recorrido de librerías, muchas gracias por el vídeo. Saludos, Emma.
this editing is incredible!!
Ahh! The mystery section, there's something around every corner.
4:58 I used to be really into Anatomy, and I have that exact edition!
I am in love with this vid 😍 PS: you need to share where your puffer jacket is from!! I need it in my life ✨
this is so wholesome
What a super awesome, informative and asthetically pleasing video!

Could you do Used & Rare Book Shops of London next? I haven't been to London in years, but prowled many a used book shop blissfully then. Thanks for this video - brought back lots of pleasant memories for me.
Omg now I know what I'm gonna be doing next time I'm in london !!
