Sadly I think number 84 is now an unmentionable fast food place, but the rest of Charing Cross Road continues to be absolutely full of fascinating bookshops (plus, in a more recent development, lots of Korean shops and restaurants). One of my favourite parts of London.
Thank you for reaffirming the souls of Book People: reading as a way of living, experiencing what it means to be humane art itself in this world. May that never be lost to clickbait scrolling!

That’s what I understand also. Would love to visit all the same!

Hear, hear! And thank you. 😊
The film was great, too.
An underrated gem!
An absolutely charming movie as well, with Anne Bancroft and Anthony Hopkins, released in 1987. Worth a watch.
It’s one of my favourites! A lovely adaptation.
