Heywood Hill

Heywood Hill Tailored bookselling for readers and collectors worldwide. First and foremost our shop is about the enjoyment of books.

The Shop

Situated on two floors of a Georgian townhouse, Heywood Hill sells new, old and antiquarian books as well as producing catalogues on numerous themes. The emphasis remains literature, history, architecture, biography and travel as well as keeping a children's department well-stocked with the best new and classic titles. We are always interested in which books or writers an individual cust

omer has most enjoyed. The more we get to know someone and their reading tastes the more tailored our service then becomes, and the more we can help customers discover something unexpected or perfectly suited to them. Our stock is a mix of old, new and antiquarian books. As our premises are small every title must justify its place on our shelves. Generations of writers, readers and collectors have trusted our booksellers who offer instant, knowledgeable advice on what to read, what to give and just as importantly what to avoid. We treat all our customers as friends of our shop and we are continually looking to find new ways to be of use to them, whether readers or collectors. Our literary adventures and library building services have been designed with the friends of Heywood Hill in mind. Find us on Twitter:

Some top children’s picks from some of our top booksellers!

There’s all sorts of bookish adventures for little ones to go on at Heywood Hill, including our Bedtime Stories subscription which introduces classic and contemporary titles to ages 0-12.

As said best by Dr Seuss “The more you read, the more you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go!”

Heywood Hill is proud and honoured to have been granted a Royal Warrant by Her Majesty The Queen. Since 1936 we have been trusted by our readers and collectors, and this accolade is a mark of extraordinary pride to us.

The Royal Arms, now displayed on the shop facade, was beautifully hand crafted by the utterly marvellous Colin, pictured in slide 3.
