I'm British I drink tea, tea ,cakes and books! Fabulous!

I thought I caught a remark of yours confessing that you're not into used books. I like them because besides the original content, each book has a story, a history, a karma. I like the marginal notes, the dedications, sometimes I find odd pieces between the pages, a slip of paper with a note, a little greeting card or postcard or photo. Old books have a personal vibe, energy, life. I wish books could speak to tell me their life stories.

As long as no piss on the books

That Waterstones' bookshop is in front of my former university (UCL) and it is indeed amazing. They also have secondhand books for £1 and £2 outside. Also, if there is somebody around here who likes to buy secondhand books, there is this old library near Wimbledon Station (District line) that is called Copperfield Books. There is not one spot without a book in that place. It may seem hard to find what you are looking for, but the guy there knows exactly where the book you want is. And they are open on Sundays too!

Ahh I really wanna visit these bookshops now! Also omg you look so professional walking around with this microphone 😂 I love it. Great video!

Hello, you are very emotional about talking about books. I can have a school

As a Waterstones employee, this makes my nerdy bookseller heart fill to the brim with happiness 💛 Thanks for spreading the joy of bookshops, Ariel

Did you go to Waterstones in Piccadilly the huge one? It's amazing!!! You'll never want to leave. Selfridges basment floor has a book section with some really nice editions. Enjoy London!

Love this!

I've been in London a week ago, and I fell in love with Foyles at the Tottenham Court road. Where I live, we only have small 1 floor bookshops and when I stepped into Foyles I was very amazed because it's so huge! And it has a café? THERE ARE BOOKSHOPS THAT HAVE CAFÉS? I just wanna live in that bookstore forever.

this is beautiful. absolutely beautiful.

Emma Krueger Thank you so much!!

Next time you visit London, check out the Wellcome Library/Reading room! The building itself (i.e. the exhibitions, bookshop and books you can generally read there) is more geared towards the medical field, but the Reading Room is free to visit and it's just an amazing place to sit, read and chill for a while.

Yes, the Waterstones at Gower street is awesome. I love how they put loads of old Penguin books in carts out front. It is vastly different from any other bookstore I've been to in the UK. There is a vinyl record store downstairs, as well as a stationary store.

Thank you for this wonderful tour!!

Your enthusiasm is infectious. This was an exquisitely done book vlog!!! I enjoyed every place you visited. I hope to see more of these videos in the future. Gracias 🇨🇺

this gave me so much happiness and warmth. your joy is so contagious. thank you for sharing. lovely, as always.

If you ever visit Buenos Aires you'll love "El Ateneo", it's this old theatre turned bookshop. It even has a café on the stage.

I just love your videos so much. The joy and passion you have for all things books just inspires me. Keep being wonderful 💕

absolutely loved this video! i'm going to london on thursday and now i'm even more pumped. definitely added foyles and hatchard's to my list of places to shop/explore.

Beautiful bookshops!!! Your videos are always so amazing!

I love this video and can't wait for the haul!💕

Those stairs in the last store.....that was my favorite store!!! What a great video!

Love your Bookshop tour! I have to visit them all if/when I go to London!

This is definitely going to be a video I come back every once in a while. You should do more of these exploring / traveling type of videos Ariel. Both in the UK and in Canada. Your energy is so bright and you make it fun.

I loved this video! I hope you do more videos like this.

Thank you for making this!

Didn't think there were such enormous bookshops somewhere. Love it. WANT IT!

Love these take me along type vids

wow!!! What an experience!

There is nothing more amazing than watching someone walk round book shops...absolutely brilliant xx thank you

Thank you so much for this beautiful bookish video! If I ever make it to London again these 4 bookstores are definitely on my destination list!

can you show us your favorite coffee shops, restaurants and cute places to go in london!! love this video!!

Thank you, I loved this!

So envious. London is right at the top of my bucket list destinations. Those shops look so great! Love bookstores.

All of the shops are so beautiful!

Foyles looks amazing!!

Waterstones Gower Street is my favorite bookshop in London! I lived on that same road when I studied abroad there last year, so watching this video felt a lot like going home. Also I realized I have visited Hatchards, but I never knew the name of it! Such a quirky and wonderful building too.

This is so nice to watch, especially during lockdown, when I simply miss going to my fav bookshops... I'll certainly do a London bookshop tour when this is all over

What an a amazing video, I love it! The last time I was in London I did the same and spent hours going to different book stores. I loved Foyles❤️ And I also love the small book stores in Nothing Hill

Your laugh is amazing! Love this video so much!

Love this video! The last shop looks amazing.

Looks like these would be the most fun when rain is coming down in sheets and buckets.

This was lovely.

Your enthusiasm in this video is so cute! Makes me really want to go to London and explore these shops!

This video just made my day - my weekend - my month! Thank you for sharing this with us, it's astonishing

Even though my heart breaks a little that I might not be able to visit those shops, this video patches it up for sure. Thanks Ariel for taking us on a bookadventure!!! ❤

Loved this video!! Bookshops are just such a wonderful place ❤

You are so much fun to watch, you have such a great personality! Thank you for making this video :)

This is so wonderful! I'm actually visiting London for the first time in about a week, so I'm really excited to make these bookstores a part of my trip.

Foyles looks AMAZING !!!

Already watched this video multiple times, I love the feeling of going on a tour of London bookshops! Thanks Ariel :)

This was such an informative well done video. I hope you do more like it!

Such a great video!! 💗 The bookstores are so cool! The filming was great 👍

"... which one you would want to visit." All of them.

I love the bookshops in London, they are so magical

Thank you for the recommendations! I'm actually going to visit London for the first time in a week or so, and I just can't wait! I'd love to visit the Waterstones you mentionned and Hatchards!

I love the atmosphere in the Waterstones library, my favourite I think!

i love this so much.

I adore this video! Your enthusiasm is so infectious. I was lucky enough to visit London last year, and while I didn't have a ton of time, I was still able to stop by Hatchard's and Waterstones at Picadilly. I fell in love! Even with the major retailers in the states (like Barnes & Noble, etc), I don't think I've been in a multi-story bookshop. Also, I absolutely loved how the bookshops in London are organized! The flow feels so natural, and everything is cozy. I really like the way the displays seemed to have unique topics, in addition to the more structured "Fiction/Non-Fiction/etc" sections. Also, I completely understand the fear of used books/things. When I was really young, I felt the same way. It was like an overwhelming sense of dread, even though I understood the historical value and importance. I don't know what changed (hence the irrational part of fears), but it doesn't bother me anymore. Still, I totally get where you're coming from and I appreciate that you still promote used books as better for the environment, etc.

omg Ariel, this video was so beautiful! I loved the mic, the themes, the shops ❤️ , the tips. Please, make more videos like this! Thanks for the video. Next time I go to London I'll def try to go to some (or all) of these.

I love that Waterstones on Gower!! When I studied abroad at RADA I would frequently pop in there to take a peek - such a charming store.

I'm in love!!!

this is such a nice video. definitely adding those bookshops to my bucket list

My favourite Waterstones is the one in Piccadilly. There are also three little antiquarian bookshops down Charing Cross Road that I love.

This is beautiful

I'm going to Foyles, hatchards and Waterstones next Saturday!!!! I'm so excited!

your videos make me so hype to travel

Thanks for this video!

Your enthusiasm is lovely to see shining through this video ! Hatchards seems very lovely to visit (and also to buy all the books from) - the others as well. Now craving to go to the bookshop ! thanks Ariel :)

This was so lovely.

I CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH!! This was such a great video!!! Do more of these bookshop tours, please?

That Penguin Room in Waterstones 😍 😍 😍

Best thing I've seen today, bookshops in London. Thank you. ❤️😊

I live in Central London and I did not know that the Gower St Waterstones was so cool! Thank you for recommending it - my personal favourite is Daunt Books in Marylebone (or Holland Park) and the Oxfam Books on Portobello Road

I love these videos! The bookshops are one of the most important reasons I want to visit London someday!

I am going to London in March and I knew that I needed to find some good bookstores before going. When I searched it here on KZread, your video popped up and I knew that whatever you showed me would be great and that I would love. I am so excited to go and check out your suggestions in person. They all look so beautiful on camera but I know they will love even better in person.

I loved this! I was just in Barnes and Nobles the other day taking pictures. But these places are amazing!

I love this video!!! I live in Greater London and have never been to these stores. I adore books and hope to some day go there. I’m so happy!!!!

Just Amazing.

London is killing it the stunning bookshops! Totally wish I could visit. This video was amazing!

Thanks for that ! Definitly the last shop !!!

this is lovely! I just wish you would have showed a few smaller, independent book stores.

Going to London with my friend in about a month and we were searching for bookshops to go to! So thank you so much for this video 😊

this was a lovely end to my day, thank you

This was great! I definitely added all of these to my list of places I would like to go to one day

Really made this interesting by your enthusiastic way of presentation.

This is definitely one of my favourite booktube videos ever x

I loved this video!

Those bookshops are amazing! I would love to visit all of them.

Two years later and here I am! We're based in South Africa and looking to move to London. Thanks for reviewing these places and adding some colour to the names. Now I know where to send my CV's....

I love Waterstones !

I have been to the original Foyles, holding my 7 months old Marina, 47years ago. I'd checked everywhere and couldn't find a book devoted to Mary Cassatt. How thrilled when the clerk confidently said Yes, we have! hustling me holding baby to a Sales table- even better!- of Marquis de Sade. Yes, lost in American accent. Hatchards is beautiful, but all these decades, I remembered it as a small one-floor shop like Charlotte Newbeggin's in San Francisco. Time crunch, again. And of course, a Waterstones in Kensington High St, probably.

How is possible that I love all Ariel's videos????

This video gave me such pleasure. And Hatcherts, wow.. i literally stumbled into it when i visited London 18 years ago.

I’ll be going to London for the first time in February 2019. Had to come back and rewatch this for shops to add to my list. Woo!

This video gives me heartache. I miss being in London so badly and you showed me the places I always was. I spent lots of time at that Waterstones and the one in Angel. As well as Foyles in Soho.

This was great!
