Fodor's Review:

This is one of London's well-established bookshops, beloved by writers themselves thanks to its cozy, independent character. Independence, however, is a matter of appearance only -- Hatchards is owned by the same corporate giant as the omnipresent Waterstones chain. Nevertheless, you can revel in its old-fashioned charm while perusing the well-stocked shelves lining the winding stairs. The staff has retained old-fashioned helpfulness, too.
