The best bookshops with cafes in London
The literary coffee-house is a historical institution: we've found its 2018 incarnation – the bookshop-cum-cafe. These places are just as brilliant for browsing the bookshelves as they are for sitting down for a (three course!) meal. Whatever kind of bibliophile you are, here's a round up of the best spots to relax, read and have a bite to eat.
This children’s bookshop in Crouch End is the perfect place for big and little kids. As well as a selection of inspirational books, the store has a cafe and events space. Parents can enjoy a hot drink, whilst kids’ indulge in treats of different shapes and sizes – try the ‘dino paw’ fruit rolls, if you're feeling really adventurous. Pickled Pepper hosts all kinds of storytelling events meaning children can sit and listen as their favourite books come to life.
