SOAS is one of London's top universities - famous for its specialization in the Orient (despite…read moreEdward Said's infamous critique) and Africa, and for its politicized student body. SOAS Language Centre accepts independent students and teaches everything from Arabic to Zulu with classes in the evenings and at weekends. The bookshop (just inside the Brunei Gallery) is a great place to pick up a copy of the Ibn Khaldun or to browse the latest post-modern histories of Chinese society. Most of the university is closed to tourists or visitors but you can wonder through and get a feel for the place.

This means you have to walk an assault course to get to the back of the store. This branch in Uxbridge has actually got a lot of floor space but you couldn't tell on first glance due to the massive displays and no space in between. I would hate to have to push a buggy around, your poor baby would have Cards and magazines crashing on it's head. The one thing I do like about this shop is the self service tills. You don't have a depressed member of staff trying to sell you half price chocolate. As you scan your own stuff. Much better when you nip in for a birthday card. This does have a great selection if birthday cards. But every time I leave I'm thankful I made it out alive!

An adorable little book shop with a really great selection…read more With an abundance of charity shops, including the Oxfam book shop in Ealing Broadway I wondered why the Mrs wanted to come out to West Ealing (very yummy mummy area) to get a book for a relative. This small, but perfectly formed book shop was very open and welcoming. It was the type of place where you felt free to spend ages browsing through it's offerings and not being watched by the creepy owner. It has a very good Fiction and History collection. Lots of less common books by famous authors and interesting titles. I nearly walked out with all the Atwood books he had, but just picked a couple. Books are all in great condition. We found a book for me Mrs Auntie and overall a very successful find.

However I was passing the other day, and I thought I would pop in here for nostalgic times... Well its still a thriving little business, and sweet as ever.. Widy and Sons most be one of oldest Law Bookshops as they have been in business for 177 years.
