Its dark green and oak frontage, and beautiful interior with William Morris prints and skylights, have led to its being described as the most beautiful bookshop in London in the Daily Telegraph, and during the day the skylights also help to make the interior light and welcoming.
This is the perfect travellers bookshop. For more, see http://www.dauntbooks.co.uk/

Visited this place in August and it is one of my favourite bookstores of all time
ReplyDeleteYes, it is certainly a gem!
ReplyDeleteI'd like a book on France as we're planning to go there for our honeymoon in spring next year. thanks for the info, will have to visit in the New Year!
ReplyDeleteDaunt is pretty but I recommend Stanford's in Covent Garden as a source for travel books. Especially strong on their road maps.
ReplyDeleteI like Stanford's, but I personally think Daunt is better, probably just because they've had books in the past that I wanted that Stanford's hasn't.
ReplyDeleteThey're both excellent shops anyway.
A wonderful, wonderful store with a fantastic, helpful staff. I highly recommend it.
ReplyDeleteGreat store, and lovely to browse around. I also went to a fantastic book launch here last year. Happy days!
