The Vibe:The world's most beautiful travel bookshop

The Marylebone High Street flagship occupies a 1912 Edwardian bookshop with long oak galleries and stained-glass skylights. Books are arranged by country rather than genre — fiction, history, cookery and travel for each nation sit together. A genuinely original organising principle.
Sunlight filters through stained glass onto oak panelling; browsers drift along narrow galleries. Books for Greece, India or Peru stand together on their own shelves — fiction beside travel memoir beside recipe book.
