This famous bookstore was founded in 1797 by John Hatchard on one of the then most fashionable streets in London. Today the store operates over five floors and handles 100,000 titles or more. An ordering service from both the shop and the web site is available. Travel, fiction, history and biography genres are all well represented. The legendary book signings are always well attended, as the rich and famous tend to come here to promote their new titles; Margaret Thatcher, Frederick Forsyth and Ruth Rendell have all graced the store in the past.
