Foyles
Foyles Review
Founded in 1903 by the Foyle brothers after they failed the Civil Service exam, the five floors of this quirky, labyrinthine store (still family-owned) carries almost every title imaginable. One of London's best sources for textbooks, Foyles also stocks everything from popular fiction to military history, sheet music, medical tomes, opera scores, and handsome illustrated fine arts books. It also offers the store-within-a-store Ray's Jazz (one of London's better outlets for music), a cool café, and even a piranha tank on the children's floor. Foyles has branches in the Southbank Centre, St. Pancras International train station (the Eurostar's U.K. terminus), and the Westfield shopping centers in Shepherd's Bush and Stratford.
