Adrian Harrington stocks rare and other antique books, prints and maps in this delightful little…read moreshop which is a treat to wander through. Books run the gamut, but they specialise in gorgeous leatherbound editions and literature including Sherlock Holmes and James Bond (some signed), as well as music, film and pop culture and my favourite, children's literature. While a first edition set of Alice in Wonderland books will run you £6,750 and a leather-bound first edition of Pride & Prejudice is yours for £45,000, not all come so prohibitively: a first UK edition of Roald Dahl's Charlie & The Great Glass Elevator (no, not the Chocolate Factory) is a mere £45.

Worth checking out if you're in town.
